Key Terms

senior notes financial

"has agreed to sell $800 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.300% Notes due 2031. The new issue of senior notes"

Senior notes are a type of loan that a company borrows from investors, promising to pay it back with interest. They are called "senior" because in case the company faces financial trouble, these lenders are paid back before others. This makes senior notes safer for investors compared to other types of loans or bonds.

coupon rate financial

"The new issue of senior notes has a term of 5 years and a coupon rate of 4.300%."

The coupon rate is the annual interest percentage a bond or similar debt security promises to pay, calculated on its face value and usually delivered in regular payments like a steady paycheck. For investors it shows the expected income from holding the bond and helps compare returns across investments; it also affects a bond’s market price because higher or lower prevailing interest rates make that fixed payment more or less attractive.

operating partnership financial

"its majority-owned operating partnership subsidiary, Simon Property Group, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), has agreed"

An operating partnership is a separate legal entity set up to own and run a company’s core assets and day-to-day businesses, while investors hold interests indirectly through the parent company. Think of it like a dedicated garage that actually stores and services the cars while the owner keeps the dealership; it matters to investors because it affects how income, taxes, liability and voting rights are allocated and therefore can influence distributions and risk.

shelf registration statement regulatory

"public offering, which is being conducted under the Operating Partnership's shelf registration statement filed"

A shelf registration statement is a document a company files with regulators that allows it to sell shares or bonds quickly when it’s a good time to raise money. It’s like having a pre-approved plan ready so the company can act fast without going through lengthy paperwork each time they want to sell, making fundraising more flexible.

prospectus supplement regulatory

"Any offer of securities will be made by means of the prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus."

A prospectus supplement is an additional document provided alongside a company's main offering details, offering updated or extra information about a specific financial product being sold. It helps investors understand the latest terms, risks, and details of the investment, similar to how an update or revision clarifies or expands on original instructions, ensuring they have current and complete information before making a decision.
