On August 15, 2016, Brixmor Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”), an indirect subsidiary of Brixmor Property Group Inc. (the “Company”) priced the previously announced offering (the “Offering”) of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.250% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be issued at 99.736% of par value with a coupon of 3.250%. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing March 15, 2017. The Notes will mature on September 15, 2023. The Offering is expected to close on August 24, 2016, subject to customary closing conditions. The Operating Partnership expects to use the net proceeds from the Offering to repay outstanding indebtedness under its $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
In connection with the Offering, the Operating Partnership entered into an underwriting agreement, dated August 15, 2016 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the Operating Partnership and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., Jefferies LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”). The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Operating Partnership, customary conditions to closing, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. Additionally, the Operating Partnership has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.
The foregoing description is a summary of the Underwriting Agreement and does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations thereunder. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
The Offering of the Notes was made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-201464 and 333-201464-01), which became effective upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 13, 2015.
