PASADENA, Calif., July 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. ("Alexandria" or the "Company") (NYSE: ARE) today announced that it is commencing an underwritten public offering, subject to market conditions, of senior notes (the "notes"). J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC and RBC Capital Markets, LLC will act as joint book-running managers in connection with the public offering. The notes will be unsecured obligations of the Company and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Alexandria Real Estate Equities, L.P., an indirectly 100% owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Company expects the net proceeds from the notes in the offering to be principally used to refinance any and all of the Company's outstanding 3.900% senior notes due 2023 (the "2023 notes"), pursuant to a tender offer announced separately today (the "tender offer"), by redemption or otherwise. The balance of net proceeds, if any, may be used to fund pending and recently completed acquisitions and construction of highly-leased development and redevelopment projects, with any remaining proceeds being held for general working capital and other corporate purposes, which may include the reduction of the outstanding balance on the Company's $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit, if any, the reduction of the outstanding balance on the Company's $750.0 million unsecured senior line of credit, if any, and the reduction of the outstanding indebtedness under the Company's commercial paper program, if any. To the extent that the tender offer is not consummated or not subscribed in full, the Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to finance a portion of the repurchase or redemption of some or all of the 2023 notes.

The notes are being offered pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3 that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
