BXP Prices $850 Million Offering of Senior Unsecured Notes
BXP, Inc. (NYSE:BXP) ("BXP"), the largest publicly traded developer, owner and manager of premier workplaces in the United States, announced today that its operating partnership, Boston Properties Limited Partnership ("BPLP"), has agreed to sell $850.0 million of 5.750% senior unsecured notes due 2035 in an underwritten public offering through J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, PNC Capital Markets LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC, Truist Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as joint book-running managers. The notes were priced at 99.961% of the principal amount to yield 5.756% to maturity. The notes will mature on January 15, 2035, unless earlier redeemed. The offering is expected to close on August 26, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The estimated net proceeds from this offering are expected to be approximately $841.9 million. BPLP intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes for the repayment of debt, which may include funding all or a portion of the redemption of the $850.0 million aggregate principal amount of BPLP's 3.200% senior notes due 2025 that are scheduled to mature on January 15, 2025 (the "2025 Notes"). Pending such use, BPLP may invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing deposit accounts.
The impact of this offering was not previously reflected in BXP's earnings guidance for third quarter and full year 2024. BXP estimates the offering will reduce third quarter and full year 2024 (1) net income attributable to common shareholders (EPS) by approximately $0.005 per share and $0.02 per share, respectively, and (2) diluted funds from operations (FFO) per share by approximately $0.005 per share and $0.02 per share, respectively, due to increased net interest expense associated with the offering.
