Key Details

• Offering size: $1,000,000,000 principal of Series A notes.
• Coupon & reset: 7.250% fixed through Feb 15, 2032; thereafter reset to 5‑year U.S. Treasury Rate + 2.889% per reset period, floored at 7.250%.
• Maturity & payments: Matures Feb 15, 2057; interest semi‑annual on Feb 15 and Aug 15 starting Feb 15, 2027.
• Subordination & redemption: Notes rank junior to all Senior Debt; company may redeem in certain windows (including 90 days before first reset through the first reset date and thereafter on interest payment dates). Tax event and rating‑agency event redemption provisions also apply (100% or 102% redemption prices as specified). The Indenture allows the company to defer interest payments in certain circumstances and contains customary covenants and default provisions.

Why It Matters This transaction raises $1.0 billion of long‑term subordinated capital for Alexandria RE, locking in a relatively high fixed cost of capital (7.25%) through 2032. For investors, the notes pay a high coupon but are junior to the company’s senior debt, so they carry greater risk in the event of default or bankruptcy. After 2032 the coupon becomes variable (tied to the 5‑year Treasury plus a spread) but cannot fall below 7.25%, providing a rate floor. The company’s ability to defer interest payments (per the Indenture) and the subordinated ranking are key facts bond and equity investors should note.
