Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. Announces Closing Of Public Offering Of 4,427,500 Shares Of Common Stock, Including Exercise In Full Of Underwriters' Option To Purchase Additional Shares

PASADENA, Calif., June 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. ("Alexandria" or the "Company") (NYSE: ARE) announced today the closing of its previously announced underwritten public offering of 4,427,500 shares of the Company's common stock at a public offering price of $145.00 per share, including the 577,500 shares sold pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares of the Company's common stock. In connection with the offering, the Company entered into forward sale agreements, between the Company and each of Bank of America, N.A., Citibank, N.A., and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch (together, the "forward purchasers").

BofA Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, and J.P. Morgan acted as joint book-running managers for the offering. BBVA, Evercore ISI, RBC Capital Markets, Regions Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, Barclays, BB&T Capital Markets, BNP PARIBAS, BTIG, Capital One Securities, Fifth Third Securities, Mizuho Securities, PNC Capital Markets LLC, Scotiabank, and TD Securities acted as co-managers for the offering.

The Company will not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of its common stock by the forward purchasers or their affiliates in the offering. The Company expects to use the net proceeds, if any, it receives upon the future settlement of the forward sale agreements to fund pending acquisitions, with any remaining proceeds to be held for general working capital and other corporate purposes, including the reduction of the outstanding balance, if any, on the Company's unsecured senior line of credit. Selling common stock through the forward sale agreements enables the Company to set the price of such shares upon the pricing of the offering (subject to certain adjustments) while delaying the issuance of such shares and the receipt of the net proceeds by the Company until the expected funding requirements described above have occurred.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Company's securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
