We previously reported, in a Form 8-K filed on April 29, 2019, that on April 25, 2019, Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiary Alexandria Real Estate Equities, L.P. entered into an escrow agreement (the “Citibank Escrow Agreement”) with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, certain lenders, and Shearman & Sterling LLP, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), to which the Company and the other parties to the Fifth Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (the “Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan”) submitted their pages to the Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan to be held by the Escrow Agent in escrow.

The terms and conditions of the above-described Citibank Escrow Agreement were satisfied on June 28, 2019 and, on that date, the Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan was deemed executed and became effective. The terms of such agreements were unchanged from those anticipated in the Form 8-K filed on April 29, 2019, and are summarized below.

The Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan extends the maturity date of the Existing Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan to January 2, 2025.

Affiliates of lenders under the Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory, investment banking, and general financing services for the Company.
