Essex Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ESS) (“Essex”) announced today that its operating partnership, Essex Portfolio, L.P. (the “Issuer”), priced an underwritten public offering of $200 million in additional senior notes due 2034 with a reoffer yield of 5.110% (the “notes”). The notes will be issued as additional notes under the indenture pursuant to which the Issuer previously issued $350 million of 5.500% senior notes due 2034 (the “initial notes”). The notes will be treated as a single series of securities with the initial notes under the indenture and will have the same CUSIP number as, and be fungible with, the initial notes. The notes were priced at 102.871% of par value. Interest is payable semiannually at an interest rate per annum of 5.500% on April 1 and October 1 of each year with the first interest payment due October 1, 2024. The notes mature on April 1, 2034. The notes will be the senior unsecured obligations of the Issuer and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Essex. The notes offering is expected to close on August 21, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions.

The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds of this offering to repay upcoming debt maturities, including to fund a portion of the repayment of the Issuer’s $500.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of 3.500% senior notes due April 2025 upon maturity thereof, and for other general corporate and working capital purposes. Pending application of the net proceeds from the offering for the foregoing purposes, such net proceeds initially may be used to repay borrowings outstanding under the Issuer’s unsecured credit facilities and/or invested in short-term securities.
