Alexandria Real Estate Prices 6.1M Common Shares Offering
Read MoreHide Full Article
Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (ARE - Free Report) announced the pricing of public offering of 6.1 million common shares at $108.55 per share. Out of these, four million shares will be subject to forward sale agreements. This move is likely to add to the financial flexibility of this Pasadena, CA-based real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, the offering is likely to close around Mar 15.
The REIT will receive proceeds from the sale of its common shares in the public offering. However, the company will not receive any proceeds through forward sales in the initial phase. Notably, Alexandria Real Estate inked forward sale agreements with some banks with respect to four million common shares.
Alexandria Real Estate’s primary focus is on the ownership, operation, management, selective redevelopment, development and acquisition of life science properties. The company plans to use the net proceeds to fund the pending and recently-completed acquisitions, and near-term highly-leased development projects. Also, it plans to use the proceeds for the redemption of its outstanding debt and for general working capital and other corporate purposes.
Currently, Alexandria Real Estate carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
