Simon Property Group Announces Expiration and Results of Cash Tender Offer for Notes
The total principal amount of Notes tendered and accepted for purchase was approximately $2.285 billion, with a weighted average remaining duration of 2.0 years and a weighted average coupon of 5.76%. A $166 million charge to earnings is expected to be recorded in the first quarter of 2010 in connection with this transaction.
The Operating Partnership will fund the purchase of the Notes with cash on hand and the proceeds from the sale of $2.25 billion of senior unsecured notes in an underwritten public offering announced on January 19, 2010 and expected to close on January 25, 2010. The offering is comprised of $400 million of 4.20% notes due 2015, $1.25 billion of 5.65% notes due 2020 and $600 million of 6.75% notes due 2040. The weighted average duration of the notes offering is 14.4 years and the weighted average coupon is 5.69%.
"We are very pleased with the results of these transactions," said David Simon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The aggregate result of the tender offer and the sale of unsecured notes was a significant extension of the duration of SPG's senior unsecured notes portfolio, with no overall increase in our weighted average interest rate. Our bond offering received exceptionally strong interest with book orders totaling $10 billion. We were also pleased to introduce a 30-year maturity into our capital structure. After completion of the transactions, we continue to maintain a current liquidity position of approximately $7 billion."
