LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: HPP) today
announced the filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") relating to the possible
resale, from time to time, by the selling stockholders named therein of
up to 10,351,508 shares of the Company's common stock, initially issued
in private placements on June 29, 2010 and May 3, 2011, and up to
2,589,252 shares of the Company's common stock issuable in exchange for
common units of partnership interest in Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.,
the Company's operating partnership, upon any redemption by one or more
of the limited partners pursuant to their contractual rights, and the
possible resale from time to time of some or all of such shares of
common stock by the selling stockholders named in the registration
statement.
The registration statement was filed to satisfy the Company's
obligations under a registration rights agreement, as amended, entered
into in connection with the private placements on June 29, 2010 and May
3, 2011. The Company is registering the applicable shares of its common
stock to provide the selling stockholders with freely tradable
securities. The registration of the shares of the Company's common stock
covered by the registration statement does not necessarily mean that any
of the shares will be offered or sold by the selling stockholders. Nor
does the registration of the shares of the Company’s common stock
covered by the registration statement necessarily mean that any of the
holders of common units will redeem their common units, that upon any
such redemption the Company will elect, in its sole and absolute
discretion, to exchange some or all of the common units for common stock
rather than cash, or that any shares of the Company’s common stock
received in exchange for common units will be offered or sold by the
selling stockholders.
The registration statement has been filed with the SEC but is not yet
effective. The securities registered under the registration statement
may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time
the registration statement becomes effective. This press release shall
not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy,
nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in
which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such
jurisdiction. A copy of the prospectus, when available, may be obtained
from the Company at 11601 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1600, Los Angeles,
