Timely funded strategic acquisition
- In June 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire One Kendall Square, a 644,771 RSF, 98.5% occupied, seven-building collaborative science and technology campus in our East Cambridge urban innovation cluster submarket. The purchase price is $725 million, including the assumption of a $203 million secured note payable. We expect to obtain approval by the lender for the loan assumption and complete this acquisition in 4Q16. The acquisition is expected to be funded by our forward equity sales agreements through the issuance of 7.5 million shares of our common stock. See below for additional information.
- This acquisition provides us with a significant opportunity to increase cash flows:
- $47/RSF average below-market in-place annual rents (mix of office gross rents and lab triple net rents);
- 55% contractual lease expirations through 2019;
- Conversion of significant portion of campus office space into office/laboratory space through redevelopment; and
- Entitled land parcel for near-term ground-up development of an additional building aggregating 172,500 square feet.
Balance sheet
Improvement in balance sheet leverage and liquidity
- $13.0 billion total market capitalization as of 3Q16;
- $1.9 billion of liquidity as of 3Q16;
- Net debt to adjusted EBITDA
- 3Q16 annualized: 6.8x; 3Q16 trailing 12 months: 7.1x
- 4Q16 annualized target range: 5.9x to 6.3x
- Goal: less than 6.0x;
- 3.6x fixed-charge coverage ratio for 3Q16 annualized and trailing 12 months;
- 4Q16 annualized target range: 3.5x to 4.0x;
- Repurchased 1.1 million shares of our 7.00% Series D cumulative convertible preferred stock at an aggregate price of $39.3 million, or $36.31 per share, and recognized a preferred stock redemption charge of $13.1 million in 3Q16;
- Executed an offering, subject to forward equity sales agreements, to sell an aggregate of 7.5 million shares of common stock, including 975,000 shares sold pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares of our common stock, at a public offering price of $101.00 per share, subject to customary contractual price adjustments. Net proceeds, after issuance costs and underwriters' discount, of $724.0 million, will be further adjusted as provided in the forward equity sales agreements. We expect to settle the forward sales agreements and receive proceeds from the common stock offering after the closing of One Kendall Square. Proceeds from this offering will be used to fund the acquisition of One Kendall Square located in East Cambridge, lower net debt to adjusted EBITDA by 0.3x, and fund construction.
- Raised $323.7 million from (i) dispositions completed and under contract for $217.5 million, and (ii) commitment from our joint venture partner to fund construction primarily in 2016 aggregating $106.3 million related to the completed sale of a partial interest in 10290 Campus Point Drive.

In June 2016, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire One Kendall Square, a 644,771 RSF, seven-building collaborative science and technology campus in our East Cambridge urban innovation cluster submarket. The acquisition includes an entitled land parcel supporting the near-term ground-up development of an additional building aggregating 172,500 square feet. The purchase price was $725.0 million, which includes the assumption of a $203.0 million secured note payable. We expect to obtain approval by the lender for the loan assumption and complete this acquisition in 4Q16. In July 2016, we executed an offering, subject to forward equity sales agreements, to sell an aggregate of 7.5 million shares of common stock, including 975,000 shares sold pursuant to the exercise in full of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares of our common stock, at a public offering price of $101.00 per share, subject to customary contractual price adjustments. Net proceeds, after issuance costs and underwriters' discount, of $724.0 million, will be further adjusted as provided in the forward equity sales agreements. We expect to settle the forward sales agreements and receive proceeds from the common stock offering after the closing of One Kendall Square. Proceeds from this offering will be used to fund this acquisition, lower net debt to adjusted EBITDA by 0.3x, and fund construction. |

We have an executed agreement for the acquisition of 88 Bluxome Street in our Mission Bay/SoMa submarket of San Francisco and are working on entitlements for this site. Furthermore, the closing date of this acquisition may be deferred to 1Q17. Square footage represents estimated total anticipated RSF upon completion of entitlements for construction of two office buildings in separate phases. Upon completion of the acquisition, the seller may lease the property for a term of one year or more depending on certain factors. |

***********
This document includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our 2016 earnings per share attributable to Alexandria's common stockholders – diluted, 2016 FFO per share attributable to Alexandria's common stockholders – diluted, net operating income, and our projected sources and uses of capital. You can identify the forward-looking statements by their use of forward-looking words, such as "forecast," "guidance," "projects," "estimates," "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "intends," "may," "plans," "seeks," "should," or "will," or the negative of those words or similar words. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends, and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events. There can be no assurance that actual results will not be materially higher or lower than these expectations. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, without limitation, our failure to obtain capital (debt, construction financing, and/or equity) or refinance debt maturities, increased interest rates and operating costs, adverse economic or real estate developments in our markets, our failure to successfully place into service and lease any properties undergoing development or redevelopment and our existing space held for future development or redevelopment (including new properties acquired for that purpose), our failure to successfully operate or lease acquired properties, decreased rental rates, increased vacancy rates or failure to renew or replace expiring leases, defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants, general and local economic conditions, a favorable capital market environment, leasing activity, lease renewals, and other risks and uncertainties detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this earnings press release, and unless otherwise stated, we assume no obligation to update this information and expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. For more discussion relating to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements, and risks to our business in general, please refer to our SEC filings, including our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
