On June 28, 2023, Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and its subsidiary, Alexandria Real Estate Equities, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), which amends and restates the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 22, 2022, among the Company, the Operating Partnership, each lender and other financial institution party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent. Citibank, N.A. serves as administrative agent and sustainability structuring agent under the Amended Credit Agreement; Citibank, N.A., BofA Securities, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Goldman Sachs Bank USA, RBC Capital Markets, The Bank of Nova Scotia, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., Barclays Bank PLC, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, TD Bank, N.A. and U.S. Bank National Association serve as joint lead arrangers under the Amended Credit Agreement; and Citibank, N.A., BofA Securities, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Goldman Sachs Bank USA and RBC Capital Markets serve as joint bookrunners under the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for, among other things, a $5 billion unsecured senior revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and an accordion option to increase aggregate commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement by up to an additional $1 billion. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a “Floating Rate,” “Daily RFR Rate,” or “Base Rate” as specified in the Amended Credit Agreement, plus, in any case, a margin specified in the Amended Credit Agreement. The margin at closing applicable to loans based on the Floating Rate and Daily RFR Rate is 0.735%, including the Sustainability Margin Adjustment reduction of 0.040%. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the maturity date for the Revolving Credit Facility remains January 22, 2028, provided that the Company exercises its rights to extend the maturity date twice by an additional six months for each exercise upon the satisfaction of certain conditions.

Affiliates of lenders under the Amended Credit Agreement have from time to time performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory, investment banking, and general financing services for the Company.
