ITEM 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 10, 2014, Simon Property Group, L.P. (“Operating Partnership”) completed its previously announced public offering of $900,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership’s 3.375% notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership’s 4.250% notes due 2044 (the “2044 Notes” and together with the 2024 Notes, the “Notes”).

 

The Notes were issued pursuant to the thirty-second supplemental indenture (the “32nd Supplemental Indenture”) to the Operating Partnership’s Indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of November 26, 1996,  each between the Operating Partnership and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to The Chase Manhattan Bank), as trustee. For a description of the material terms of the 32nd Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, see the information set forth below under Item 2.03, which is incorporated into this Item 1.01.

 

The offering of the Notes was made pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-179874-01), the prospectus dated March 2, 2012, and the related prospectus supplement dated September 3, 2014.

 

A copy of the 32nd Supplemental Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Indenture was incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement.

 

ITEM 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The 2024 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.375% per annum and mature on October 1, 2024.  The 2044 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.250% per annum and mature on October 1, 2044.  Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1, beginning April 1, 2015 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest will be paid to holders of record of such Notes registered at the close of business the fifteenth calendar day preceding the related Interest Payment Date.

 

The Operating Partnership may, at its option, redeem the Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time on not less than 15 and not more than 45 days’ prior written notice mailed to the holders of the Notes to be redeemed. The Notes will be redeemable at a price equal to the principal amount of such Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption and a “make-whole” premium calculated under the 32nd Supplemental Indenture (unless the 2024 Notes are redeemed on or after July 1, 2024 or the 2044 Notes are redeemed on or after April 1, 2044, in which case no “make-whole” premium will be payable).

 

The 32nd Supplemental Indenture provides for customary events of default, including, among other things, nonpayment, failure to comply with the other agreements in the 32nd Supplemental Indenture for a period of 90 days, and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization.

 

The description set forth above is qualified in its entirety by the 32nd Supplemental Indenture (including the form of notes attached thereto).
