LOS ANGELES, Mar 16, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) –
Kilroy Realty Corporation


/quotes/zigman/171049/quotes/nls/krc KRC
-0.59%



today announced that
it has priced its public offering of 4,000,000 shares of 6.875% Series G
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at $25.00 per share, plus accrued
dividends, if any. The offering is expected to close on Tuesday, March
27, 2012, subject to customary closing conditions. Dividends on the
Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock will be paid quarterly in
arrears on the 15th day of each February, May, August and
November, commencing May 15, 2012 at a rate of 6.875% annually of the
stated liquidation value of $25.00 per share, which is equivalent to
$1.71875 per share on an annualized basis.

The underwriters for the public offering have been granted a 30-day
option to purchase up to 600,000 additional shares of Series G
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock to cover overallotments, if any.
The Company intends to file an application to list the Series G
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock on the New York Stock Exchange. If
the application is approved, trading of the Series G Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock on the New York Stock Exchange is expected to
begin within 30 days after the initial issuance of the Series G
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.

Wells Fargo Securities, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner Smith
Incorporated, Barclays Capital, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC
are acting as joint book-running managers. The estimated net proceeds
from the offering are expected to be approximately $96.4 million, after
deducting the underwriting discount and our estimated expenses, but
before giving effect to any exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment
option.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to redeem
a portion of the outstanding shares of its 7.80% Series E Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock and 7.50% Series F Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Stock and for other general corporate purposes, which may
include acquiring properties and repaying outstanding indebtedness,
including borrowings under our operating partnership’s unsecured
revolving credit facility. The Company plans to redeem all of its
outstanding shares of Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and
Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock on April 16, 2012 for an
aggregate redemption price of approximately $126.5 million, plus accrued
dividends. Accordingly, because the net proceeds the Company receives
from this offering will not be sufficient to redeem all of the
outstanding shares of its Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock
and Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, and because the
Company may elect to apply a portion of such net proceeds for purposes
other than such redemption, the Company plans to finance the remaining
portion of the redemption price of the Series E Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Stock and Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock with
cash on hand or borrowings under the credit facility, or both.

This offering is being made pursuant to an effective shelf registration
statement and prospectus and related prospectus supplement filed by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This press release
shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to
buy any securities nor will there be any sale of these securities in any
jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful
prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any
such jurisdiction.
