Analysis · PSA · Real Estate & Construction
Terms are now final for a $900 million senior notes offering, split into $400 million of 4.700% notes due 2032 and $500 million of 5.150% notes due 2036. Proceeds will partially fund the pending acquisition of National Storage Affiliates Trust. A special mandatory redemption feature protects investors by requiring redemption at 101% of principal if the NSA deal fails to close by the outside date, though it also creates a contingent liability. The offering secures long-term fixed-rate financing at a modest spread to Treasuries, underscoring the REIT's strong access to credit markets.
