Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details
The Operating Partnership priced an offering of two series of notes on May 5, 2025, with the closing scheduled for May 7, 2025. The filing does not provide revenue, profit, cash flow, or margin data as this is a transaction-specific report rather than a periodic financial statement.

Material Changes and Debt Structure
The issuance represents a material increase in the company's long-term debt obligations. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership. The Indenture governing these Notes includes covenants that restrict the Operating Partnership's and its subsidiaries' ability to incur additional indebtedness, merge, consolidate, or dispose of substantially all assets.
Redemption Terms and Risks
Both series of Notes are redeemable at the option of the Operating Partnership. Prior to the "Applicable Par Call Date" (December 15, 2030 for the 2031 Notes; February 15, 2035 for the 2035 Notes), redemption is permitted at a price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount or the present value of remaining payments discounted at the Treasury Rate plus a spread (15 basis points for 2031 Notes; 20 basis points for 2035 Notes). On or after the Applicable Par Call Date, the Notes are redeemable at 100% of the principal amount.
The filing notes standard risks associated with debt issuance, including the impact of interest rate fluctuations on redemption costs and the restrictive covenants limiting future financial flexibility.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final closing date and actual net proceeds received on May 7, 2025.
