Item 8.01 Other Events.
On December 1, 2015, HCP, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), completed its underwritten offering (the “Offering”) of $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.000% senior unsecured notes due 2022 (the “Notes”). The net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, are approximately $592.0 million, which the Company intends to use to repay its $500 million 3.750% Senior Notes due February 2016 at or prior to their stated maturity date and for general corporate purposes, including future acquisitions, investments or repayment of other indebtedness. Prior to such repayment, the Company may use a portion of such proceeds to temporarily reduce outstanding borrowings under its revolving line of credit, which borrowings were principally used for acquisitions and investments. Additional details related to the Offering may be found in the prospectus supplement, dated November 23, 2015 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 24, 2015.
The Notes are governed by the terms of the Indenture, dated November 19, 2012 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), which was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on November 19, 2012, as supplemented by the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, dated December 1, 2015, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”), which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Notes will mature on December 1, 2022 and the Company will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, beginning on June 1, 2016. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.
The Company may redeem all or part of the Notes at any time at its option at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, or (ii) the “make-whole” amounts applicable to the Notes to be redeemed as set forth in the in the section titled “Description of the Notes — Optional Redemption” in the Prospectus Supplement, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption. In addition, the Notes are redeemable at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption, to be redeemed on or after October 1, 2022.
The Notes have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-205241), originally filed with the Commission on June 26, 2015. The description of the Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the Notes are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Base Indenture, the Supplemental Indenture and the form of the Notes. Copies of the Supplemental Indenture and the form of the Notes are filed as exhibits hereto, and a copy of the Base Indenture has been previously filed, and each is incorporated by reference herein.
