Boston Properties Announces Redemption Price for 5.625% Senior Notes Due 2020


Boston Properties, Inc. (NYSE: BXP), the largest publicly-traded developer, owner and manager of Class A office properties in the United States, announced today the redemption price for the $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "Notes") issued by its operating partnership, Boston Properties Limited Partnership.

The Notes will be redeemed in full on September 18, 2019 (the "Redemption Date"), and the redemption price for the Notes will be approximately $740.7 million. The redemption price includes approximately $13.5 million of accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date. Excluding the accrued and unpaid interest, the redemption price is approximately 103.90% of the principal amount being redeemed. The redemption is being partially funded by the net proceeds from the offering in August 2019 of $700.0 million of 2.900% Senior Notes due 2030 (the "Offering").

As a result of the early redemption of the Notes, Boston Properties expects to record a loss from early extinguishment of debt of approximately $28.0 million, or approximately $0.16 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2019. This amount includes approximately $0.8 million of unamortized financng and other costs. In addition, the Company estimates the refinancing will reduce full year 2019 diluted EPS and diluted FFO per share by approximately $0.13 per share, reflecting the net impact of the loss on early extinguishment of debt, interest savings associated with the refinancing and interest earned on the net proceeds from the Offering pending the redemption. Neither the Offering nor the impact of the redemption of the Notes was reflected in Boston Properties' earnings guidance for the third quarter or full year 2019, which was released on July 30, 2019.
