Capped calls are expected generally to reduce potential conversion dilution or offset excess cash payments, subject to an initial cap price of approximately $80.16 per share.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
EPR Properties priced a private offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.5% convertible senior notes due 2032 to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers. Settlement is scheduled for November 16, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions; initial purchasers may buy up to an additional $75.0 million within 13 days from and including the date the notes are first issued.

The notes are senior, unsecured obligations, carry 4.5% interest, and have an initial conversion price of approximately $68.29 per share; capped calls have an initial cap price of approximately $80.16.

EPR Properties Prices $500.0 Million Convertible Senior Notes Offering
Kansas City, MO—November 11, 2026—EPR Properties (NYSE:EPR) (the “Company”) today announced the pricing of its offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.5% convertible senior notes due 2032 (the “Notes”) in a private offering (the “Offering”) to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The issuance and sale of the Notes are scheduled to settle on November 16, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. The Company also granted the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the Notes are first issued, up to an additional $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes.
The Notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of the Company and will accrue interest at a rate of 4.5% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2027. The Notes will mature on February 15, 2032, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Before October 15, 2031, noteholders will have the right to convert their Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after October 15, 2031, noteholders may convert their Notes at any time at their option until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. The Company will settle conversions in cash and, if applicable, common shares. The initial conversion rate is 14.6441 of the Company’s common shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $68.29 per common share. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 15% over the last reported sale price of $59.38 per common share on November 11, 2026. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. The Company will settle conversions by paying cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be converted and paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, the Company’s common shares or a combination of cash and the Company’s common shares, at the Company’s election, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being converted, based on the then applicable conversion rate.
The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part (subject to certain limitations), for cash at the Company’s option at any time, and from time to time, on or after February 20, 2030 and on or before the 50th scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common shares exceeds 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time and certain other conditions are satisfied. The Notes will also be redeemable, in whole or in part, for cash at the Company’s option at any time to the extent necessary to preserve the Company’s status as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, provided certain conditions are satisfied. The Notes will also be redeemable, in whole and not in part, for cash at the Company’s option at any time if the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding is less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued in the Offering (including any additional Notes issued pursuant to any exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase additional Notes) and certain other conditions are satisfied. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
If certain corporate events that constitute a “fundamental change” occur, then, subject to a limited exception, noteholders may require the Company to repurchase their Notes for cash. The repurchase price will be equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date.
Use of Proceeds and Concurrent Share Repurchases
The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $485.7 million (or approximately $558.6 million if the initial purchasers fully exercise their option to purchase additional Notes), after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and the Company’s estimated offering expenses. The Company expects to use approximately $18.5 million of the net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into the capped call transactions described below. The Company expects to use approximately $50.0 million of the net proceeds from this Offering to repurchase 842,034 of the Company’s common shares concurrently with the pricing of this Offering in privately negotiated transactions effected through one of the initial purchasers of the Notes or its affiliate, as the Company’s agent. The Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the Offering, together with cash on hand, to repay in full the $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.750% Senior Notes due 2026 upon maturity on December 15, 2026. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, then the Company intends to use a portion of the additional net proceeds to fund the cost of entering into additional capped call transactions as described below. The concurrent repurchases of common shares described above may result in the Company’s common shares trading at prices that are higher than would be the case in the absence of these repurchases and may have affected the initial terms of the Notes, including the initial conversion price.
Capped Call Transactions
In connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers and/or their affiliates or one or more other financial institutions (the “Option Counterparties”). The capped call transactions will cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Notes, the number of common shares underlying the Notes. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, then the Company expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the Option Counterparties.
The cap price of the capped call transactions will initially be approximately $80.16 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 35% over the last reported sale price of $59.38 per share of the Company’s common shares on November 11, 2026, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions.
The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to the Company’s common shares upon any conversion of the Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted Notes, as the case may be, subject to a cap. If, however, the market price per share of the Company’s common shares, as measured under the terms of the capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution and/or there would not be an
offset of such potential cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the capped call transactions.
The Company expects that, in connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates expect to enter into various derivative transactions with respect to the Company’s common shares and/or purchase the Company’s common shares concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the Notes. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of the Company’s common shares or the Notes at that time.
In addition, the Company expects that the Option Counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to the Company’s common shares and/or purchasing or selling the Company’s common shares or other securities of the Company in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the Notes and prior to the maturity of the Notes (and (x) are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of Notes or following any repurchase of Notes by the Company in connection with any redemption or fundamental change, (y) following any repurchase of Notes by the Company other than in connection with any redemption or fundamental change if the Company elects to unwind a corresponding portion of the capped call transactions in connection with such repurchase and (z) if the Company otherwise unwinds all or a portion of the capped call transactions). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or decrease in the market price of the Company’s common shares or the Notes, which could affect the ability to convert the Notes, and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of the Notes, it could affect the number of the Company’s common shares, if any, and value of the consideration that holders of the Notes will receive upon conversion of the Notes.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any offer or sale of, the Notes (or any of the Company’s common shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes) in any state or jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification thereof under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
