LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (NYSE: HPP) (the “Company”) and
Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) announced
today entry into a note purchase agreement providing for the private
placement of $425.0 million of senior guaranteed notes (the “Notes”) by
the Operating Partnership, consisting of $110.0 million of 4.34% Series
A Guaranteed Senior Notes due January 2, 2023, $259.0 million of 4.69%
Series B Guaranteed Senior Notes due December 16, 2025, and $56.0
million of 4.79% Series C Guaranteed Senior Notes due December 16, 2027.
In addition, on November 17, 2015, the Operating Partnership entered
into a new term loan credit agreement, which provides for a $175.0
million unsecured five-year term loan credit facility and a $125.0
million unsecured seven-year term loan credit facility (collectively,
the “New Term Loan”).
“Since closing the EOP Northern California Portfolio acquisition earlier
this year, we have been working toward the full repayment of our
two-year floating rate facility with long-term, fixed rate financing,”
said Mark Lammas, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of
Hudson Pacific Properties. “These new facilities accomplish that goal
and provide us with additional funds to enhance our financial and
operational flexibility going forward.”
The Notes are expected to be issued on December 16, 2015, subject to
customary closing conditions. The Notes will pay interest semiannually
until maturity, and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the
Company and, in certain limited circumstances, by subsidiaries of the
Company. The Operating Partnership intends to use the proceeds from the
private placement of the Notes to repay the remaining $375.0 million
balance under its two-year term facility, with remaining proceeds being
used to repay indebtedness under its unsecured revolving credit facility
or for general corporate purposes.
As of November 17, 2015, the Operating Partnership had the ability to
borrow up to $300.0 million under the New Term Loan, of which none had
been drawn. The Company currently expects to draw funds under the New
Term Loan in early January 2016. The Operating Partnership intends to
use the amounts available under the New Term Loan to repay indebtedness
under its unsecured revolving credit facility and for other general
corporate purposes.
Also on November 17, 2015, the Operating Partnership amended its
existing Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of April 1, 2015 and its
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 31, 2015,
in each case, to align certain terms with the less restrictive terms of
the New Term Loan.
A description of the terms of the Notes and of the New Term Loan and the
amendments to the existing Term Loan Credit Agreement and Second Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement can be found in the 8-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, in connection with these
facilities.
