Overview of the Offering#
Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated, based in Nashville, has announced a significant financial move. Its operating partnership, Healthcare Realty Holdings, L.P., has priced an offering of $600 million in exchangeable senior notes. Initially set at $500 million, this increase reflects strong investor interest. The notes will be guaranteed by Healthcare Realty on a senior, unsecured basis and are set to settle on Wednesday, pending standard closing conditions.
Details of the Notes#
The exchangeable notes will carry an interest rate of 3.00% per year, with interest payments made twice a year on January 15 and July 15, starting in 2027. These notes will mature on January 15, 2032, unless they are repurchased, redeemed, or exchanged before that date. The initial exchange rate allows investors to convert each $1,000 in notes into 43.4660 shares of Healthcare Realty’s class A common stock, which translates to an exchange price of about $23.01 per share. This price is approximately 17.5% higher than the last reported stock price of $19.58.
Use of Proceeds#
Healthcare Realty expects to net around $582.6 million from this offering after accounting for discounts and expenses. The company plans to allocate $24 million for capped call transactions and about $75 million to repurchase approximately 3.83 million shares of its class A common stock. The remaining funds, along with borrowings from its credit facility, will be used to pay off existing debt under its 3.500% Senior Notes due in 2026.
