Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K Current Report, dated October 3, 2025, covers Brandywine Realty Trust (the "Company") and Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The filing reports the completion of a debt offering by the Operating Partnership.
Key Financial Metrics
- Debt Issuance: $300 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Guaranteed Notes due 2031.
- Net Proceeds: Approximately $296.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated transaction expenses.
- Interest Rate: 6.125% per annum.

Note: This filing does not provide revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, or liquidity metrics beyond the specific transaction details.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the creation of a new direct financial obligation. The Operating Partnership has increased its unsecured indebtedness by $300 million. The Notes rank equally with all other unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness but are effectively subordinated to the liabilities of consolidated subsidiaries.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- Redemption Terms: Prior to December 15, 2030, the Notes may be redeemed at a make-whole price (greater of present value calculation or 100% of principal). On or after that date, they may be redeemed at 100% of principal plus accrued interest.
- Events of Default: If specified events of default occur, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% of the Notes may declare the principal and accrued interest immediately due and payable.
- Related Party Transactions: Affiliates of the underwriters and the trustee are lenders under the Operating Partnership's unsecured revolving credit facility and term loan facility. Proceeds used to repay these facilities will be allocated pro rata to these lenders.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact amount of consolidated secured debt repaid with the $296.3 million in net proceeds.
- Review the full text of the Indenture and Supplemental Indentures (Exhibits 4.1 through 4.4) for specific covenants and default triggers.
- Confirm the impact of the new 6.125% interest rate on the company's overall weighted average cost of debt.
- Assess the company's current liquidity position to ensure it can meet the first interest payment due on January 15, 2026.
