Note Offering
On February 3, 2020, the Operating Partnership priced an offering of
$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.125% Notes due 2027 (the "2027
Notes"), $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.250% Notes due 2030

into an Underwriting Agreement, dated February 3, 2020 (the "Underwriting
Agreement"), with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, SMBC Nikko Securities America,
Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and the other underwriters named in Schedule A

The net proceeds to the Operating Partnership from the sale of the Notes, after

approximately $2.17 billion. The Operating Partnership intends to use the
amounts received by them to fund the redemption of certain notes issued by
Liberty OP to be acquired under the previously announced Liberty Merger. Any
remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. In the
short-term, the Operating Partnership may also use the amounts received from the
issuance of all series of notes to repay borrowings under its global line of
credit.
The 2027 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 2.125% per annum and mature on
April 15, 2027. The 2030 Notes will bear interest at a rate of 2.250% per annum
and mature on April 15, 2030. The 2050 Notes will bear interest at a rate of
3.000% per annum and mature on April 15, 2050.
The Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time,
at the option of the Operating Partnership, at a redemption price equal to the
greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or
(ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of
principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed that would be due if such
Notes matured on February 15, 2027, in the case of the 2027 Notes, January 15,
2030, in the case of the 2030 Notes and October 15, 2049, in the case of the
2050 Notes (each, the "Applicable Par Call Date" as to the applicable series of
Notes) (in each case exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date)
discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at the then current
Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points, in the case of the 2027 Notes, 15 basis
points, in the case of the 2030 Notes, or 20 basis points, in the case of the
2050 Notes. In addition, on or after the Applicable Par Call Date, such
applicable series of Notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part
from time to time, at the Operating Partnership's option, at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. In each case,
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid on the Notes being redeemed
to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The Indenture governing the Notes restricts, among other things, the Operating
Partnership's and its subsidiaries ability to incur additional indebtedness and
to merge or consolidate with any other person or sell, assign, transfer, lease,
convey or otherwise dispose of substantially all of its assets.
The Notes are being issued pursuant to the Registration Statement as amended by
