NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Healthcare Realty Trust Incorporated (NYSE: HR) today announced that it will redeem all of its outstanding 3.75% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”) in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Notes. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of its 2.05% senior notes due 2031 to fund the redemption. The Company’s 2.05% senior notes due 2031 are expected to be issued on October 2, 2020, subject to customary closing conditions. The Company expects to record a charge in the fourth quarter of 2020 of approximately $21.5 million for early extinguishment of the Notes, which includes approximately $1.1 million of unamortized costs and discounts.
The Company will redeem the Notes on October 18, 2020 (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price equal to an aggregate of $270.5 million, consisting of: a) $250.0 million in outstanding principal; b) $0.1 million in interest accrued but not yet paid as of the Redemption Date; and c) a “make-whole amount” of $20.4 million in accordance with the indenture.
The redemption price for the redeemed Notes will become due and payable on the Redemption Date. Following that date, interest will cease to accrue and be payable on the redeemed Notes and the redeemed Notes will be canceled. Payment of the redemption price will be made only upon presentation and surrender of the redeemed Notes in the manner specified in the notice of redemption, which is being provided to registered holders of the Notes by Truist Bank, formerly known as Branch Banking and Trust Company, as trustee for the Notes. Copies of the applicable notice of redemption for the redeemed Notes may be obtained from Truist Bank by calling its Corporate Trust Department at 252.246.4679.
