Preferred Stock
At December 31, 2020, BXP had 80,000 shares (8,000,000 Depositary Shares each representing 1/100th of a share) outstanding of its 5.25% Series B Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $2,500.00 per share ($25.00 per Depositary Share). BXP paid cumulative cash dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock at a rate of 5.25% per annum of the $2,500.00 liquidation preference per share. BXP did not have the right to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock prior to March 27, 2018, except in certain circumstances relating to the preservation of BXP’s REIT status. On and after March 27, 2018, BXP, at its option, could redeem the Series B Preferred Stock for a cash redemption price of $2,500.00 per share ($25.00 per Depositary Share), plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. The Series B Preferred Stock was not redeemable by the holders, had no maturity date and was not convertible into any other security of BXP or its affiliates.
On March 2, 2021, BXP issued a redemption notice for 80,000 shares of its 5.25% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, which constituted all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, and the corresponding depositary shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of Series B Preferred Stock. The
redemption price per share of Series B Preferred Stock was $2,500, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, totaling $2,516.41 per share. On March 31, 2021, the Company transferred the full redemption price for all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock of approximately $201.3 million, including approximately $1.3 million of accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, to the redemption agent. The excess of the redemption price over the carrying value of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Units of approximately $6.4 million relates to the original issuance costs and is reflected as a reduction to Net Income Attributable to Boston Properties, Inc. Common Shareholders and Net Income Attributable to Boston Properties Limited Partnership Common Unitholders on the Consolidated Income Statements.
On April 1, 2021, BXP redeemed all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and all of the outstanding Depositary Shares. In connection with the redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock, all of the Series B Preferred Units, which had terms and preferences generally mirroring those of the Series B Preferred Stock, were redeemed by BPLP.
