$900M Notes Offering Completed
Public Storage Operating Company issued $400 million of 4.700% Senior Notes due 2032 and $500 million of 5.150% Senior Notes due 2036. The notes are guaranteed by Public Storage and rank equally with existing unsecured debt.

Proceeds Earmarked for NSA Acquisition
The offering is part of the financing for the pending all-stock acquisition of National Storage Affiliates Trust, a deal valued at approximately $5.5 billion. The notes supplement a $3.5 billion credit facility and a prior $900 million notes offering.
-
Special Mandatory Redemption Protects Bondholders
If the NSA acquisition is not completed by December 16, 2026 (or a later agreed date), or if Public Storage abandons the deal, the company must redeem the notes at 101% of principal plus accrued interest. This creates a contingent cash outflow of up to $909 million plus interest.
-
Debt Covenants Maintained
The indenture includes standard REIT covenants: total debt cannot exceed 65% of total assets, secured debt cannot exceed 50% of total assets, and unencumbered assets must be at least 125% of unsecured debt. The debt service coverage ratio must stay above 1.50x.
Analysis · PSA · Real Estate & Construction
The operating company of Public Storage has completed a $900 million senior notes offering, split between $400 million of 4.700% notes due 2032 and $500 million of 5.150% notes due 2036. Proceeds are earmarked to partially fund the pending acquisition of National Storage Affiliates Trust. A special mandatory redemption clause requires the company to redeem the notes at 101% of principal plus accrued interest if the NSA deal falls through by December 16, 2026. This adds a layer of protection for bondholders but also creates a contingent liability for Public Storage. The offering is part of a broader financing strategy that includes a recent $3.5 billion credit facility and a $900 million notes offering priced earlier this month, all aimed at funding the transformative NSA acquisition.
