Goodwin’s REITs team advised The Macerich Partnership, L.P. (the “Partnership”), the operating partnership of The Macerich Company (the “Company”) on the Partnership’s 2.25% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”). The $775 million offering was upsized from $600 million and includes the full exercise of the initial purchasers’ option to purchase $100 million in additional Notes. The initial exchange price of the Notes features a premium of approximately 25% up from the reference price of $23.49 per share. In connection with the offering, the Company and certain investment bank dealers entered into capped call transactions, which mitigate equity dilution and/or offset payments due upon exchange of the Notes and effectively raise the initial exchange price of the Notes to $34.06 per share, a 45% premium over the reference price.
