Cousins expects to fund repurchases with proceeds from non-core asset sales, retained cash, debt financing and/or settlement of common shares previously issued on a forward basis under its at-the-market stock offering program. Repurchases may occur in the open market, through privately negotiated deals or other methods permitted by law, with no expiration date, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Cousins Properties LP, the main operating arm of Cousins Properties Incorporated, is planning a new offering of senior unsecured notes fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the REIT. The notes will rank equally with the partnership’s other unsecured debt and be effectively junior to its secured mortgage borrowings.

The partnership plans to use the net proceeds primarily to repay borrowings under its revolving credit facility, which helped finance the recent $317.5 million acquisition of the fully leased 300 South Tryon office property in Charlotte, and may also repay a portion of its 2021 term loan. Any remaining funds may support working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.

As of December 31, 2025, Cousins reported about $3.4 billion of consolidated indebtedness and unencumbered properties representing roughly 89.5% of the book value of its real estate assets, alongside $884.0 million of available capacity under its credit facility. The new notes include optional redemption provisions, financial covenants tied to leverage and unencumbered assets, and no change-of-control put for investors.
