Insights

Corporate finance and REIT capital structure analyst

Camden locks in $600M long-term debt to term out short-term borrowings.

Camden Property Trust issued $600,000,000 of 4.900% notes due 2036, with net proceeds of about $594.0 million. The coupon and 10-year tenor convert part of its funding mix from short-term bank and commercial paper borrowings into fixed-rate unsecured debt.

The company plans to use proceeds to repay portions of its $1.2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and its $600 million commercial paper program, as well as for general corporate purposes such as acquisitions, development, capital expenditures and working capital. Actual impact on leverage and interest expense will depend on the specific balances repaid.

The notes are redeemable at Camden’s option, with a make-whole premium except during the three months before maturity, when they are callable at par plus accrued interest. This call structure gives management flexibility to refinance or retire the debt closer to the 2036 maturity if market conditions are favorable.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 17, 2026, Camden Property Trust, a Texas real estate investment trust (the “Company”), entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with BofA Securities, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, PNC Capital Markets LLC and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., for themselves and Representatives of the several Underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Underwriters $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.900% Notes due 2036 (the “Notes”), which issuance and sale closed on February 19, 2026. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

The offering of the Notes is described in the Company’s Prospectus Supplement dated February 17, 2026 to the Company’s Prospectus dated May 12, 2023. The Notes were issued pursuant to the Company’s existing shelf registration statement.

The Notes bear interest at 4.900% from February 19, 2026, with interest payable each February 28 and August 28 beginning on August 28, 2026. The Notes will mature on February 28, 2036. The Notes are redeemable at any time at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount and accrued interest of the Notes being redeemed, plus a make-whole premium. If, however, the Company redeems the Notes on or after three months prior to their maturity date, the redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being redeemed to the redemption date.

The Notes were priced at a discount such that the Notes were offered to the public at 99.936% of their face amount. The Notes were issued under an Indenture between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor to SunTrust Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 4, 2007 between the Company and the Trustee, the Second Supplemental Indenture dated June 3, 2011 between the Company and the Trustee and the Third Supplemental Indenture dated October 4, 2018.

The description in this Current Report of the Notes is not intended to be a complete description, and the description is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the form of note, which is attached as Exhibit 4.5 to this Current Report.

After deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses, the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be approximately $594.0 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding balance on its $1.2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and a portion of the amounts outstanding under its $600 million commercial paper program and for general corporate purposes, which may include property acquisitions and development in the ordinary course of business, capital expenditures and working capital. In the ordinary course of their respective businesses, the Underwriters and their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in commercial banking and/or investment banking transactions with the Company and its affiliates for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary fees. U.S. Bank Trust company, an affiliate of U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc., one of the Underwriters, is serving as the trustee under the indenture under which the Notes will be issued. U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association also serves as the issuing and paying agent for the Company’s

commercial paper program. BofA Securities, Inc. serves as commercial paper dealer and placement agent for the Company’s commercial paper program. Certain of the underwriters of this offering or their affiliates are lenders under our unsecured revolving credit facility and/or may be holders of the Company’s commercial paper notes. Such underwriters or affiliates will, therefore, receive a portion of the net proceeds of this offering through any repayment of the borrowings on the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility or of its commercial paper program. Associated Investment Services, Inc. (AIS), a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority member, a subsidiary of Associated Banc-Corp, is being paid a referral fee by Samuel A. Ramirez & Company, Inc., one of the underwriters.
