Our operating partnership, Kilroy Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, issued and sold $172,500,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.250% Exchangeable Senior Notes Due 2014 in a private transaction in November 2009. Under certain circumstances, we may issue shares of our common stock upon the exchange of the notes. In such circumstances, the recipients of such common stock, whom we refer to as the selling securityholders, may use this prospectus or any accompanying prospectus supplement to resell from time to time some or all the shares of our common stock that we may issue to them upon the exchange of the notes. Additional selling securityholders may be named by future prospectus supplements.

The registration of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplements does not necessarily mean that any of the selling securityholders will exchange their notes for shares of our common stock, that upon any exchange of the notes we will elect, in our sole and absolute discretion, to exchange some or all of the notes for shares of our common stock rather than cash, or that any shares of our common stock received upon exchange of the notes will be sold by the selling securityholders.

We will not receive any proceeds from any issuance of shares of our common stock to the selling securityholders upon exchange of notes or from any sale of such shares of common stock by the selling securityholders, but we have agreed to pay certain registration expenses relating to these shares of our common stock. The selling securityholders from time to time may offer and sell shares of our common stock held by them directly or through agents or broker-dealers on terms to be determined at the time of sale, as described in more detail in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplements.

To assist us in complying with certain federal income tax requirements applicable to real estate investment trusts, or REITs, among other purposes, our charter contains certain restrictions relating to the ownership and transfer of our common stock, preferred stock and capital stock, including an ownership limit of 7.0% on our common stock. See “Description of Capital Stock—Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer of Our Capital Stock” in this prospectus.

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, under the symbol “KRC”. The last reported sales price per share of our common stock on the NYSE on February 26, 2010 was $28.33 per share.

Investing in our common stock involves risks. See “Risk Factors” on page 1 of this prospectus.

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities, or determined if this prospectus or any accompanying prospectus supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

KILROY REALTY CORPORATION

We are a Maryland corporation that owns, operates, develops, and acquires Class A suburban office and industrial real estate in key submarkets in Southern California, which we believe have strategic advantages and strong barriers to entry. We qualify and operate as a self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code.

As of December 31, 2009, our stabilized portfolio of operating properties was comprised of 93 office buildings (the “Office Properties”) and 41 industrial buildings (the “Industrial Properties”), which encompassed an aggregate of approximately 8.7 million and 3.7 million rentable square feet, respectively. As of December 31, 2009, the Office Properties were approximately 80.6% leased to 286 tenants, and the Industrial Properties were approximately 88.2% leased to 58 tenants. All of our properties are located in Southern California. Our stabilized portfolio excludes undeveloped land and one industrial property that we are in the process of reentitling for residential use.

We own our interests in all of our properties through Kilroy Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), and Kilroy Realty Finance Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Finance Partnership”). We conduct substantially all of our activities through the Operating Partnership in which, as of December 31, 2009, we owned an approximate 96.2% general partnership interest. The remaining 3.8% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership was owned by certain of our executive officers and directors, certain of their affiliates, and other outside investors. Kilroy Realty Finance, Inc., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, is the sole general partner of the Finance Partnership and owns a 1.0% general partnership interest. The Operating Partnership owns the remaining 99.0% limited partnership interest of the Finance Partnership. We conduct substantially all of our development activities through Kilroy Services, LLC (“KSLLC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” include the Operating Partnership, the Finance Partnership, KSLLC, Kilroy Realty Finance, Inc., and all other wholly-owned subsidiaries, which include, Kilroy Realty TRS, Inc., Kilroy Realty Management, L.P., Kilroy RB, LLC, and Kilroy RB II, LLC.

Our common stock is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “KRC,” our 7.80% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock under the symbol “KRC-PE” and our 7.50% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock under the symbol “KRC-PF.” Our principal executive offices are located at 12200 West Olympic Boulevard, Suite 200, Los Angeles, California 90064.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, including the documents that we incorporate by reference, contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions.

Additionally, documents we subsequently file with the SEC and incorporate by reference will contain forward-looking statements. In particular, statements pertaining to our capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Likewise, pro forma financial statements and other pro forma information incorporated by reference and all of our statements regarding anticipated growth in our funds from operations and anticipated market conditions, demographics, results of operations and charges are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the

negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategies, plans or intentions. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants, particularly any of our largest office tenants and our largest industrial tenants;

 

   

adverse economic or real estate developments in the Southern California region;

 

   

our ability to re-lease property at or above current market rates;

 

   

increased interest rates and operating costs;

 

   

our access to capital to satisfy our liquidity needs;

 

   

significant competition, which may decrease the occupancy and rental rates of properties;

 

   

potential losses that may not be covered by insurance;

 

   

our ability to successfully complete acquisitions and operate acquired properties;

 

   

our ability to successfully complete development and redevelopment properties on schedule and within budgeted amounts;

 

   

fluctuations in availability and cost of construction materials and labor resulting from the effects of recent natural disasters and increased worldwide demand;

 

   

our ability to maintain our status as a REIT;

 

   

future terrorist activity in the United States or war;

 

   

adverse changes to, or implementations of, income tax laws, governmental regulations or legislation;

 

   

decreases in the population in geographic areas where our properties are located;

 

   

elevated utility costs and power outages in California; and

 

   

costs to comply with governmental regulations.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. We disclaim any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes.

We may, however, under certain circumstances, make a distribution of capital or of assets. The actual amount and timing of distributions, however, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our financial condition in addition to the requirements of the Code, and we cannot assure you as to the amounts or timing of future distributions.

Distributions will be made in cash to the extent that cash is available for distribution.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

The 4.250% Exchangeable Senior Notes Due 2014, were originally issued by Kilroy Realty, L.P., our operating partnership, and sold by the initial purchasers of the notes in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act to persons reasonably believed by the initial purchasers to be qualified institutional buyers as defined by Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Under certain circumstances, we may issue shares of our common stock upon the exchange of the notes. In such circumstances, the recipients of shares of our common stock, whom we refer to as the selling securityholders, may use this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement to resell from time to time the shares of our common stock that we may

issue to them upon the exchange of the notes. Information about selling securityholders is set forth in this prospectus, and information about additional selling securityholders may be set forth in a prospectus supplement, in a post-effective amendment, or in filings we make with the SEC under the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

The following table sets forth information, as of February 26, 2010, with respect to the selling securityholders and the maximum number of shares of our common stock that could become beneficially owned by each selling securityholder should we issue shares of our common stock to such selling securityholder that may be offered pursuant to this prospectus upon the exchange of the notes. The information is based on information provided by or on behalf of the selling securityholders. The selling securityholders may offer all, some or none of the shares of our common stock which we may issue upon the exchange of the notes. The number of shares of our common stock issuable upon the exchange of the notes shown in the table below assumes exchange of the full amount of notes held by each selling securityholder at an assumed maximum exchange rate of 32.7011 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes and a cash payment in lieu of any fractional share (the initial exchange rate of the notes is 27.8307 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes). The exchange rate on the notes is subject to adjustment in certain events. Accordingly, the maximum number of shares of our common stock issuable upon the exchange of the notes may increase or decrease from time to time. In addition, due to the exchange settlement provisions of the notes, we may not be required to issue the maximum number of shares of our common stock upon any exchanges of notes. The shares of common stock beneficially owned following the exchange is based on 43,092,980 shares of common stock outstanding as of February 26, 2010.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following is a summary of some of the terms of our capital stock, charter and bylaws and Maryland law. This description is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our charter and bylaws and Maryland law. You should read our charter and bylaws, which are incorporated by reference to the Company’s SEC filings. See “Available Information” in this prospectus.

Common Stock

General

Our charter authorizes us to issue 150,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of December 31, 2009, we had 43,148,762 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The 43,148,762 outstanding shares excludes the 1,723,131 shares of common stock, as of December 31, 2009, that we may issue in exchange for presently outstanding common units that may be tendered for redemption to the operating partnership.

Shares of our common stock:

 

   

are entitled to one vote per share on all matters presented to stockholders generally for a vote, including the election of directors, with no right to cumulative voting;

 

   

do not have any conversion rights;

 

   

do not have any exchange rights;

 

   

do not have any sinking fund rights;

 

   

do not have any redemption rights;

 

   

do not have any appraisal rights;

 

   

do not have any preemptive rights to subscribe for any of our securities; and

 

   

are subject to restrictions on ownership and transfer.

Table of Contents

We may pay distributions on shares of our common stock, subject to the preferential rights of our Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock, and, when issued, our Series A Preferred Stock, and any other series or class of capital stock that we may issue in the future with rights to dividends and other distributions senior to our common stock. However, we may only pay distributions when our board of directors authorizes a distribution out of legally available funds. We make, and intend to continue to make, quarterly distributions on outstanding shares of our common stock.

Our board of directors may:

 

   

reclassify any unissued shares of our common stock into other classes or series of capital stock;

 

   

establish the number of shares in each of these classes or series of capital stock;

 

   

establish any preference rights, conversion rights and other rights, including voting powers, of each of these classes or series of capital stock;

 

   

establish restrictions, such as limitations and restrictions on ownership, dividends or other distributions, of each of these classes or series of capital stock; and

 

   

establish qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each of these classes or series of capital stock.

Certain Provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law

Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, or the MGCL, our stockholders are generally not liable for our debts or obligations. If we liquidate, we must first pay all debts and other liabilities, including debts and liabilities arising out of our status as general partner of the operating partnership, and any preferential distributions on any outstanding shares of preferred stock. Each holder of our common stock then will share ratably in our remaining assets. All shares of our common stock have equal distribution, liquidation and voting rights, and have no preference or exchange rights, subject to the ownership limits in our charter or as permitted by our board of directors pursuant to executed waiver agreements.

Under the MGCL, we generally require approval by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to vote before we can:

 

   

dissolve;

 

   

amend our charter;

 

   

merge;

 

   

sell all or substantially all of our assets;

 

   

engage in a share exchange; or

 

   

engage in similar transactions outside the ordinary course of business.

Because the term “substantially all of a company’s assets” is not defined in the MGCL, it is subject to Maryland common law and to judicial interpretation and review in the context of the unique facts and circumstances of any particular transaction. Although the MGCL allows our charter to establish a lesser percentage of affirmative votes by our stockholders for approval of those actions, our charter does not include such a provision.

Preferred Stock

Our charter authorizes us to issue 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. Of the 30,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, we have classified and designated 1,500,000 shares as Series A Preferred Stock, 1,610,000 shares as Series E Preferred Stock and 3,450,000 shares as Series F Preferred Stock. As of February 26, 2010, 1,610,000 shares of our Series E Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding and 3,450,000 shares of our Series F Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.

Table of Contents

We may classify, designate and issue additional shares of currently authorized shares of preferred stock, in one or more classes, as authorized by our board of directors without the prior consent of our stockholders. The board of directors may afford the holders of preferred stock preferences, powers and rights—voting or otherwise—senior to the rights of holders of shares of our common stock. Our board of directors can authorize the issuance of currently authorized shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control transaction that might involve a premium price for holders of shares of our common stock or otherwise be in their best interest. All shares of preferred stock which are issued and are or become outstanding are or will be fully paid and nonassessable. Before we may issue any shares of preferred stock of any class, the MGCL and our charter require our board of directors to determine the following:

 

   

the designation;

 

   

the terms;

 

   

preferences;

 

   

conversion and other rights;

 

   

voting powers;

 

   

restrictions;

 

   

limitations as to distributions;

 

   

qualifications; and

 

   

terms or conditions of redemption.

7.45% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, 7.80% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and 7.50% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock

General

Of our 30,000,000 authorized preferred shares, 1,500,000 shares have been classified and designated as Series A Preferred Stock, 1,610,000 shares have been classified and designated as Series E Preferred Stock and 3,450,000 shares have been classified and designated as Series F Preferred Stock. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issuable on a one-for-one basis only upon redemption or exchange of the Series A Preferred Units of the operating partnership. All of the designated shares of Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding.

Dividends

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock is entitled to receive dividends that are:

 

   

cumulative preferential dividends, in cash, from the date of issue payable in arrears on the 15th of February, May, August and November of each year, including in the case of Series A Preferred Stock, any accumulated but unpaid distributions in respect of Series A Preferred Units at the time they are exchanged for shares of Series A Preferred Stock;

 

   

on parity with any payments made to each other and with all other preferred stock designated as ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock;

 

   

in preference to any payment made on our common stock or any other classes or series of our capital stock or the Company’s other equity securities ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock; and

 

   

at a rate of 7.45% per annum for shares of Series A Preferred Stock, at a rate of 7.80% per annum for shares of Series E Preferred Stock and at a rate of 7.50% per annum for shares of Series F Preferred Stock.

Table of Contents

Ranking

The Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock will, with respect to dividends and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs, rank:

 

   

senior to our common stock and all other preferred stock designated as ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock;

 

   

on parity with each other and with all other preferred stock designated as ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock; and

 

   

junior to all other preferred stock designated as ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock.

Redemption

At our option, we may redeem, in whole or in part, from time to time, upon not less than 30 or more than 60 days written notice:

 

   

shares of Series A Preferred Stock;

 

   

shares of Series E Preferred Stock and shares of Series F Preferred Stock;

 

   

shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a redemption price payable in cash equal to $50.00 per share, and shares of Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock at a redemption price payable in cash equal to $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends whether or not declared up to and including the date of redemption;

 

   

by paying the redemption price of the Series E Preferred Stock and/or Series F Preferred Stock; and

 

   

by paying the redemption price of the Series A Preferred Stock, excluding the portion consisting of accumulated but unpaid dividends, solely out of proceeds from issuance of our capital stock.

No Maturity, Sinking Fund or Mandatory Redemption

The Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock have no maturity date, and we are not required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock at any time. Accordingly, the Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock will remain outstanding indefinitely, unless we decide, at our option, to exercise our redemption rights. None of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock is subject to any sinking fund.

Limited Voting Rights

If we do not pay dividends on any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock for six or more quarterly periods, including any periods during which we do not make distributions in respect of Series A Preferred Units prior to their exchange into shares of Series A Preferred Stock, whether or not consecutive, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock will have the right to vote as a single class with all other shares of capital stock ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock which have similar vested voting rights for the election of two additional directors to our board of directors. The directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in the election for a one-year term and each such director will serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until the director’s right to hold the office terminates, whichever occurs earlier, subject to the director’s earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. The election will take place at:

 

   

special meetings called at the request of the holders of at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock, or Series F Preferred Stock, or the holders of shares of any other class or series of stock on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock

 

10


Table of Contents
 

and the Series F Preferred Stock with respect to which dividends are also accumulated and unpaid, if this request is received more than 90 days before the date fixed for our next annual or special meeting of stockholders or, if we receive the request for a special meeting less than 90 days before the date fixed for our next annual or special meeting of stockholders, at our annual or special meeting of stockholders, and

 

   

each subsequent annual meeting (or special meeting in its place) until all dividends accumulated on the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock, the Series F Preferred Stock and any such other class or series of stock on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods and the dividend for the then current dividend period, including accumulated but unpaid distributions in respect of Series A Preferred Units at the time they are exchanged for shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been fully paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment of the dividends is irrevocably set aside in trust for payment in full.

When all of the dividends have been paid in full, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock will be divested of their voting rights and the term of any member of our board of directors elected by the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock and holders of any other shares of stock on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock will terminate.

In addition, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock are outstanding, without the consent of at least two-thirds of the holders of the series of preferred stock then outstanding, as applicable, we may not:

 

   

authorize or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any shares of capital stock ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs,

 

   

reclassify any of our authorized shares of capital stock into any shares ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock,

 

   

designate or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, or reclassify any of our authorized shares of capital stock into any stock on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock, or create, authorize or issue any obligations or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such shares, but only to the extent the shares on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, the Series E Preferred Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock are issued to one of our affiliates, or

 

   

either

 

   

consolidate, merge into or with, or convey, transfer or lease our assets substantially as an entirety, to any corporation or other entity, or

 

   

amend, alter or repeal the provisions of our charter or bylaws, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise,

in each case that would materially and adversely affect the powers, special rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock or the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock.

For purposes of the previous paragraph, the following events will not be deemed to materially and adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock or any of their holders:

 

   

any merger, consolidation or transfer of all or substantially all of our assets, so long as either:

 

   

we are the surviving entity and the Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock, respectively, remain outstanding on the same terms, or

 

11


Table of Contents
   

the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is a corporation, business trust or other like entity organized under the laws of any state and substitutes for the Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock, respectively, other preferred stock having substantially the same terms and same rights as the Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock, respectively, including with respect to dividends, voting rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up; and

 

   

any increase in the amount of authorized preferred stock or the creation or issuance of any other class or series of preferred stock, or any increase in an amount of authorized shares of each class or series, in each case ranking either junior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up to the extent such preferred stock is not issued to one of our affiliates.

In addition, we may increase the authorized or issued amount of the Series F Preferred Stock, whether by amendment or supplement of our charter or otherwise, without any vote of the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock, if all such additional shares:

 

   

remain unissued, and/or

 

   

are issued to an underwriter in a public offering registered with the SEC.

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock shall have

one vote per $50.00 of stated liquidation preference. The voting provisions above will not apply if, at or prior to

the time when the act with respect to which the vote would otherwise be required would occur, we have redeemed or called for redemption upon proper procedures all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock, as applicable.

The Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock will have no voting rights other than as discussed above.

Liquidation Preference

Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs, each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference of $50.00 per share and each share of Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends, in preference to any of our common stock or any other class or series of our capital stock, other than those equity securities expressly designated as ranking on a parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, Series E Preferred Stock and Series F Preferred Stock.

Restrictions on Ownership and Transfer of Our Capital Stock

Internal Revenue Code Requirements

To maintain our tax status as a REIT, five or fewer “individuals,” as that term is defined in the Code, which includes certain entities, may not own, actually or constructively, more than 50% in value of our issued and outstanding capital stock at any time during the last half of a taxable year. Constructive ownership provisions in the Code determine if any individual or entity constructively owns our capital stock for purposes of this requirement. In addition, 100 or more persons must beneficially own our capital stock during at least 335 days of a taxable year or during a proportionate part of a short taxable year. Also, rent from tenants in which we actually or constructively own a 10% or greater interest is not qualifying income for purposes of the gross income tests of the Code. To help ensure we meet these tests, our charter restricts the acquisition and ownership of shares of our capital stock.

 

12


Table of Contents

Transfer Restrictions in Our Charter

Subject to exceptions specified therein, our charter provides that no holder may own, either actually or constructively under the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code:

 

   

more than 7.0%, by number of shares or value, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of our common stock;

 

   

if and when issued, shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, which, taking into account all other shares of our capital stock actually or constructively held, would cause a holder to own more than 7.0% by value of our outstanding shares of capital stock; or

 

   

more than 9.8%, by number of shares or value, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of our Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock.

In addition, because rent from tenants in which we actually or constructively own a 10% or greater interest is not qualifying rent for purposes of the gross income tests under the Code, our charter provides that no holder may own, either actually or constructively by virtue of the constructive ownership provisions of the Code, which differ from the constructive ownership provisions used for purposes of the preceding sentence:

 

   

more than 9.8%, by number of shares or value, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of our common stock;

 

   

if and when issued, shares of our Series A Preferred Stock which, taking into account all other shares of our capital stock actually or constructively held, would cause a holder to own more than 9.8% by value of our outstanding shares of capital stock; or

 

   

more than 9.8%, by number of shares or value, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of our Series E Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock.

We refer to the limits described in this paragraph and the preceding paragraph, together, as the “ownership limits.”

The constructive ownership provisions set forth in the Code are complex, and may cause shares of our capital stock owned actually or constructively by a group of related individuals and/or entities to be constructively owned by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of shares of our capital stock in an amount that does not exceed the ownership limits, or the acquisition of an interest in an entity that actually or constructively owns our capital stock, could, nevertheless cause that individual or entity, or another individual or entity, to own constructively shares in excess of the ownership limits and thus violate the ownership limits described above or otherwise permitted by our board of directors. In addition, if and when such shares are issued, a violation of the ownership limits relating to the Series A Preferred Stock could occur as a result of a fluctuation in the relative value of any outstanding series of our preferred stock and our common stock, even absent a transfer or other change in actual or constructive ownership.

Our charter permits our board of directors to waive the ownership limits with respect to a particular stockholder if the board of directors:

 

   

determines that the ownership will not jeopardize our status as a REIT; and

 

   

otherwise decides that this action would be in our best interest.

As a condition of this waiver, our board of directors may require opinions of counsel satisfactory to it and/or undertakings or representations from the applicant with respect to preserving our REIT status. Our board of directors has waived the ownership limit applicable to our common stock for John B. Kilroy, Sr. and John B. Kilroy, Jr., members of their families and some of their affiliated entities, allowing them to own up to 19.6% of our common stock. However, the board of directors conditioned this waiver upon the receipt of undertakings and

 

13


Table of Contents

representations from Messrs. Kilroy which it believed were reasonably necessary in order to conclude that the waiver would not cause us to fail to qualify and maintain our status as a REIT. Our board of directors has also waived the ownership limits with respect to the initial purchasers and certain of their affiliated entities in the offering of 3.250% Exchangeable Senior Notes Due 2012, and in the offering of 4.250% Exchangeable Senior Notes Due 2014, by our operating partnership, allowing each of such initial purchasers and certain of their affiliated entities to beneficially own up to 9.8%, in the aggregate, of our common stock in connection with hedging of certain capped call transactions relating to these notes.

In addition to the foregoing ownership limits, our charter provides that no holder may own, either actually or constructively under the applicable attribution rules of the Code, any shares of any class of our capital stock if, as a result of this ownership:

 

   

more than 50% in value of our outstanding capital stock would be owned, either actually or constructively under the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Code, by five or fewer individuals, as defined in the Code,

 

   

our capital stock would be beneficially owned by less than 100 persons, determined without reference to any constructive ownership provisions, or

 

   

we would fail to qualify as a REIT.

Under our charter, any person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire actual or constructive ownership of our shares of capital stock that will or may violate any of the foregoing restrictions on transferability and ownership must give us notice immediately and provide us with any other information that we may request in order to determine the effect of the transfer on our status as a REIT. The foregoing restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply if our board of directors determines that it is no longer in our best interest to attempt to qualify, or to continue to qualify, as a REIT.

Effect of Violation of Ownership Limits and Transfer Restrictions

Our charter provides that if any attempted transfer of our capital stock or any other event would result in any person violating the ownership limits described above, unless otherwise permitted by our board of directors, then the purported transfer will be void ab initio and of no force or effect with respect to the attempted transferee as to that number of shares in excess of the applicable ownership limit, and the transferee shall acquire no right or interest in the excess shares. Our charter further provides that in the case of any event other than a purported transfer, the person or entity holding record title to any of the excess shares shall cease to own any right or interest in the excess shares.

Our charter provides that any excess shares described above will be transferred automatically, by operation of law, to a trust, the beneficiary of which will be a qualified charitable organization selected by us. The automatic transfer will be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the violative transfer.

The trustee must:

 

   

within 20 days of receiving notice from us of the transfer of shares to the trust,

 

   

sell the excess shares to a person or entity who could own the shares without violating the ownership limits or as otherwise permitted by our board of directors, and

 

   

distribute to the prohibited transferee or owner, as applicable, an amount equal to the lesser of the price paid by the prohibited transferee or owner for the excess shares or the sales proceeds received by the trust for the excess shares;

 

   

in the case of any excess shares resulting from any event other than a transfer, or from a transfer for no consideration, such as a gift,

 

14


Table of Contents
   

sell the excess shares to a qualified person or entity, and

 

   

distribute to the prohibited transferee or owner, as applicable, an amount equal to the lesser of the market price of the excess shares as of the date of the event or the sales proceeds (net of any commissions and other expenses of sale) received by the trust for the excess shares; and

 

   

in either case above, distribute any proceeds in excess of the amount distributable to the prohibited transferee or owner, as applicable, to the charitable organization selected by us as beneficiary of the trust.

The trustee shall be designated by us and be unaffiliated with us and any prohibited transferee or owner. Prior to a sale of any excess shares by the trust, the trustee will receive, in trust for the beneficiary, all dividends and other distributions paid by us with respect to the excess shares, and may also exercise all voting rights with respect to the excess shares.

Our charter provides that, subject to Maryland law, effective as of the date that the shares have been transferred to the trust, the trustee shall have the authority, at the trustee’s sole discretion:

 

   

to rescind as void any vote cast by a prohibited transferee or owner, as applicable, prior to our discovery that our shares have been transferred to the trust, and

 

   

to recast the vote in accordance with the desires of the trustee acting for the benefit of the beneficiary of the trust.

However, if we have already taken irreversible corporate action, then the trustee may not rescind and recast the vote. Any dividend or other distribution paid to the prohibited transferee or owner, prior to our discovery that the shares had been automatically transferred to a trust as described above, must be repaid to the trustee upon demand for distribution to the beneficiary of the trust. If the transfer to the trust as described above is not automatically effective, for any reason, to prevent violation of the applicable ownership limit or as otherwise permitted by the board of directors, then our charter provides that the transfer of the excess shares will be void ab initio.

If shares of capital stock are transferred to any person in a manner which would cause us to be beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, our charter provides that the transfer shall be null and void in its entirety, and the intended transferee will acquire no rights to the stock.

If our board of directors shall at any time determine in good faith that a person intends to acquire or own, has attempted to acquire or own, or may acquire or own our capital stock in violation of the limits described above, our charter provides that the board of directors shall take actions to refuse to give effect to or to prevent the ownership or acquisition, including, but not limited to:

 

   

authorizing us to repurchase stock,

 

   

refusing to give effect to the ownership or acquisition on our books, or

 

   

instituting proceedings to enjoin the ownership or acquisition.

All certificates representing shares of our capital stock bear a legend referring to the restrictions described above.

All persons who own at least a specified percentage of the outstanding shares of our stock must file with us a completed questionnaire annually containing information about their ownership of the shares, as set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations. Under current Treasury regulations, the percentage is between 0.5% and 5.0%, depending on the number of record holders of our shares. In addition, each stockholder may be required to disclose to us in writing information about the actual and constructive ownership of our shares as our board of directors deems necessary to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to a REIT or to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or governmental agency.

These ownership limitations could discourage a takeover or other transaction in which holders of some,

or a majority, of our shares of capital stock might receive a premium for their shares over the then prevailing market price or which stockholders might believe to be otherwise in their best interest.

DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL PROVISIONS OF THE

PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT OF KILROY REALTY, L.P.

We have summarized the material terms and provisions of the Fifth Amended and Restated Agreement

of Limited Partnership of the operating partnership, as amended, which we refer to as the “partnership agreement.” This summary is not complete. For more detail, you should refer to the partnership agreement itself, which we have previously filed with the SEC and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Management of the Partnership

The operating partnership is a Delaware limited partnership. We are the sole general partner of the operating partnership and conduct substantially all of our business through it.

As the sole general partner of the operating partnership, we exercise exclusive and complete discretion in its day-to-day management and control. We can cause the operating partnership to enter into certain major transactions including acquisitions, dispositions and refinancings and cause changes in its line of business, capital structure and distribution policies. The operating partnership has both preferred limited partnership interests and common limited partnership interests. As of December 31, 2009, the Operating Partnership had issued and outstanding 1,500,000 Series A Preferred Units, 1,610,000 Series E Preferred Units, 3,450,000 Series F Preferred Units and 1,723,131 common units. We refer collectively to the Series A Preferred Units, Series E Preferred Units, Series F Preferred Units and the common units as the units. Limited partners may not transact business for, or participate in the management activities or decisions of, the operating partnership, except as provided in the partnership agreement and as required by applicable law.

Indemnification of our Officers and Directors

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the partnership agreement provides indemnity to us, as general partner, and our officers and directors and any other persons we may designate. Similarly, the partnership agreement limits our liability, as well as that of our officers and directors, to the operating partnership.

Transferability of Partnership Interests

Generally, we may not voluntarily withdraw from or transfer or assign our interest in the operating partnership without the consent of the holders of at least 60% of the common partnership interests including our interests. The limited partners may, without the consent of the general partner, transfer, assign, sell, encumber or otherwise dispose of their interest in the operating partnership to family members, affiliates (as defined under federal securities laws) and charitable organizations and as collateral in connection with certain lending transactions, and, with the consent of the general partner, may also transfer, assign or sell their partnership interest to accredited investors. In each case, the transferee must agree to assume the transferor’s obligations under the partnership agreement. This transfer is also subject to our right of first refusal to purchase the limited partner’s units for our benefit.

In addition, without our consent, limited partners may not transfer their units:

 

   

to any person who lacks the legal capacity to own the units;

 

   

in violation of applicable law;

 

   

where the transfer is for only a portion of the rights represented by the units, such as the partner’s capital account or right to distributions;

 

   

if we believe the transfer would cause the termination of the operating partnership or would cause it to no longer be classified as a partnership for federal or state income tax purposes;

 

   

if the transfer would cause the operating partnership to become a party-in-interest within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or ERISA, or would cause its assets to constitute assets of an employee benefit plan under applicable regulations;

if the transfer would require registration under applicable federal or state securities laws;

 

   

if the transfer could cause the operating partnership to become a “publicly traded partnership” under applicable Treasury regulations;

 

   

if the transfer could cause the operating partnership to be regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or ERISA; or

 

   

if the transfer would adversely affect our ability to maintain our qualification as a REIT.

We may not engage in any “termination transaction” without the approval of at least 60% of the common units in the operating partnership, including our general partner interest in the operating partnership. Examples of termination transactions include:

 

   

a merger;

 

   

a consolidation or other combination with or into another entity;

 

   

a sale of all or substantially all of our assets; or

 

   

a reclassification, recapitalization or change of our outstanding equity interests.

In connection with a termination transaction, all common limited partners must either receive, or have the right to elect to receive, for each common unit an amount of cash, securities or other property equal to the product of:

 

   

the number of shares of common stock into which each common unit is then exchangeable; and

 

   

the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid to the holder of one share of common stock in consideration for one share of common stock pursuant to the termination transaction.

If, in connection with a termination transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer is made to holders

of our common stock, and the common stockholders accept this purchase, tender or exchange offer, each holder of common units must either receive, or must have the right to elect to receive, the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property which that holder would have received if immediately prior to the purchase, tender or exchange offer it had exercised its right to redemption, received shares of common stock in exchange for its common units, and accepted the purchase, tender or exchange offer.

We also may merge or otherwise combine our assets with another entity with the approval of at least 60% of the common units if:

 

   

substantially all of the assets directly or indirectly owned by the surviving entity are held directly or indirectly by the operating partnership as the surviving partnership or another limited partnership or limited liability company is the surviving partnership of a merger, consolidation or combination of assets with the operating partnership;

 

   

the common limited partners own a percentage interest of the surviving partnership based on the relative fair market value of the net assets of the operating partnership and the other net assets of the surviving partnership immediately prior to the consummation of this transaction;

 

   

the rights, preferences and privileges of the common limited partners in the surviving partnership are at least as favorable as those in effect immediately prior to the consummation of the transaction and as those applicable to any other limited partners or non-managing members of the surviving partnership; and

 

   

the common limited partners may exchange their interests in the surviving partnership for either:

 

   

the consideration available to the common limited partner pursuant to the preceding paragraph, or

 

   

if the ultimate controlling person of the surviving partnership has publicly traded common equity securities, shares of those common equity securities, at an exchange ratio based on the relative fair market value of those securities and our common stock.

Table of Contents

Our board of directors, in our capacity as general partner, will reasonably determine relative fair market values and rights, preferences and privileges of the limited partners as of the time of the termination transaction. These values may not be less favorable to the limited partners than the relative values reflected in the terms of the termination transaction.

We must use commercially reasonable efforts to structure transactions like those described above to avoid causing the common limited partners to recognize gain for federal income tax purposes by virtue of the occurrence of or their participation in the transaction. In addition, the Operating Partnership must use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the common limited partners to minimize any taxes payable in connection with any repayment, refinancing, replacement or restructuring of indebtedness, or any sale, exchange or other disposition of its assets.

Issuance of Additional Units Representing Partnership Interests

As sole general partner of the operating partnership, we have the ability to cause it to issue additional units representing general and limited partnership interests. These units may include units representing preferred limited partnership interests, subject to the approval rights of holders of the Series A Preferred Units with respect to the issuance of preferred units ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Units, holders of the Series E Preferred Units with respect to the issuance of preferred units ranking senior to the Series E Preferred Units and holders of Series F Preferred Units with respect to the issuance of preferred units ranking senior to the Series F Preferred Units as described under the heading “—7.45% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units, 7.80% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units and 7.50% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units.”

Capital Contributions by us to the Operating Partnership

We may borrow additional funds in excess of the funds available from borrowings or capital contributions from a financial institution or other lender or through public or private debt offerings. We may then lend these funds to the operating partnership on the same terms and conditions that applied to us. In some cases, we may instead contribute these funds as an additional capital contribution to the operating partnership and increase our interest in it and decrease the interests of the limited partners.

The Effect of Awards Granted Under Our Stock Incentive Plans

If options to purchase shares of our common stock granted in connection with our 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan or our 2006 Incentive Award Plan, or any successor equity incentive award plan, are exercised at any time, or restricted shares of common stock are issued under the plans, we must contribute to the operating partnership the exercise price that we receive in connection with the issuance of the shares of common stock to the exercising participant or the proceeds that we receive when we issues the shares. In exchange, we will be issued units in the operating partnership equal to the number of shares of common stock issued to the exercising participant in the plans.

Tax Matters that Affect the Operating Partnership

We have the authority under the partnership agreement to make tax elections under the Code on the operating partnership’s behalf.

Allocations of Net Income and Net Losses to Partners

The net income of the operating partnership will generally be allocated:

 

   

first, to the extent holders of units have been allocated net losses, net income shall be allocated to such holders to offset these losses, in an order of priority which is the reverse of the priority of the allocation of these losses;

 

19


Table of Contents
   

next, pro rata among the holders of Series A Preferred Units in an amount equal to a 7.45% per annum cumulative return on the stated value of $50.00 per Series A Preferred Unit, holders of Series E Preferred Units in an amount equal to a 7.80% per annum cumulative return on the stated value of $25.00 per Series E Preferred Unit, and holders of Series F Preferred Units in an amount equal to 7.50% per annum cumulative return on the stated value of $25.00 per Series F Preferred Unit, which are referred to as the “preferred returns”; and

 

   

the remaining net income, if any, will be allocated to us and to the common limited partners in accordance with their respective percentage interests.

Net losses of the operating partnership will generally be allocated:

 

   

first, to us and the common limited partners in accordance with their respective percentage interests, but only to the extent the allocation does not cause a partner to have a negative adjusted capital account (ignoring any limited partner capital contribution obligations);

 

   

next, pro rata among the holders of the Series A Preferred Units, Series E Preferred Units and Series F Preferred Units, but only to the extent that the allocation does not cause a partner to have a negative adjusted capital account (ignoring any limited partner capital contribution obligations);

 

   

next, to partners pro rata in proportion to their positive adjusted capital accounts, until such capital accounts are reduced to zero; and

 

   

the remainder, if any, will be allocated to us.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the partnership agreement generally provides that the operating partnership’s adjusted net income (as defined in the partnership agreement) will first be allocated to the holders of the operating partnership’s Series A Preferred Units, the Series E Preferred Units and the Series F Preferred Units to the extent of their preferred returns, with the remaining items of net income or net loss allocated according to the provisions described above. The allocations described above are subject to compliance with the provisions of Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code and the associated Treasury regulations. See the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences—Tax Aspects of Kilroy Realty, L.P., the Subsidiary Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies.”

Operations and Management of the Operating Partnership

The operating partnership must be operated in a manner that will enable us to maintain our qualification as a REIT and avoid any federal income tax liability. The partnership agreement provides that we will determine from time to time, but not less frequently than quarterly, the net operating cash revenues of the operating partnership, as well as net sales and refinancing proceeds, pro rata in accordance with the partners’ respective percentage interests, subject to the distribution preferences with respect to the Series A Preferred Units, Series E Preferred Units and Series F Preferred Units. The partnership agreement further provides that the operating partnership will assume and pay when due, or reimburse us for payment of, all expenses that we incur relating to the ownership and operation of, or for the benefit of, the operating partnership and all costs and expenses relating to our operations.

Term of the Partnership Agreement

The operating partnership will continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2095, or until sooner dissolved in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement.

7.45% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units, 7.80% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units and 7.50% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units

General

The operating partnership has designated classes of preferred limited partnership units as the 7.45% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units, the 7.80% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units and the 7.50% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units, representing preferred limited partnership interests. As of December 31, 2009, 1,500,000 Series A Preferred Units, 1,610,000 Series E Preferred Units and 3,450,000 Series F Preferred Units are issued and outstanding.

Distributions

Each Series A Preferred Unit, Series E Preferred Unit and Series F Preferred Unit is entitled to receive cumulative preferential distributions payable on or before the 15th day of February, May, August and November of each year. Series A Preferred Units will be entitled to distributions at a rate of 7.45% per annum, Series E Preferred Units will be entitled to distributions at a rate of 7.80% per annum and Series F Preferred Units will be entitled to distributions at a rate of 7.50% per annum. The cumulative preferential distributions will be paid in preference to any payment made on any other class or series of partnership interest of the operating partnership, other than any other class or series of partnership interest expressly designated as ranking on parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Units, the Series E Preferred Units and the Series F Preferred Units.

Ranking

The Series A Preferred Units, the Series E Preferred Units and the Series F Preferred Units rank:

 

   

senior to the Operating Partnership’s common units and to all classes or series of preferred partnership units designated as ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Units, the Series E Preferred Units and the Series F Preferred Units with respect to distributions and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up;

 

   

on parity with each other and with all other classes or series of preferred partnership units designated as ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Units, the Series E Preferred Units and the Series F Preferred Units with respect to distributions and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up; and

 

   

junior to all other classes or series of preferred partnership units designated as ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Units, the Series E Preferred Units and the Series F Preferred Units.

Limited Approval Rights

For as long as any Series A Preferred Units remain outstanding, the Operating Partnership will not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the units of such class, as applicable:

 

   

authorize, create or increase the authorized or issued amount of any class or series of partnership interests ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Units, or reclassify any partnership interests of the Operating Partnership into any class or series of partnership interest ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Units, or create, authorize or issue any obligations or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any class or series of partnership interests ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Units,

 

   

authorize or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of any preferred partnership units on parity with the Series A Preferred Units, or reclassify any partnership interest into any preferred partnership units on parity with the Series A Preferred Units, or create, authorize or issue any obligations or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any preferred partnership units on parity with the Series A Preferred Units, but only to the extent that these preferred partnership units on parity with the Series A Preferred Units are issued to an affiliate of the Operating Partnership, other than to us to the extent the issuance of these interests was to allow us to issue corresponding preferred stock to persons who are not affiliates of the Operating Partnership, or

either consolidate, merge into or with, or convey, transfer or lease its assets substantially as an entirety to, any corporation or other entity or amend, alter or repeal the provisions of the partnership agreement, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, in each case in a manner that would materially and adversely affect the powers, special rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of the Series A Preferred Units or the holders of the Series A Preferred Units.

Redemption

We may redeem the Series A Preferred Units, the Series E Preferred Units and the Series F Preferred Units at any time. The Series A Preferred Units may be redeemed solely out of the sale proceeds from the issuance of our capital stock or out of the sale of limited partner interests in the operating partnership, at a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the capital account balance of the holder of the Series A Preferred Units; provided, however, that no redemption will be permitted if the redemption price does not equal or exceed the original capital contribution of such holder plus accumulated and unpaid distributions to the date of redemption. If fewer than all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as practicable without creating fractional units). We may not redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Units unless all accumulated and unpaid distributions have been paid on all Series A Preferred Units for all quarterly distribution periods terminating on or prior to the date of redemption. The Series E Preferred Units may be redeemed at a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the sum of $25.00 plus accumulated and unpaid distributions to the date of redemption per Series E Preferred Unit, if any. The Series F Preferred Units may be redeemed at a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the sum of $25.00 plus accumulated and unpaid distributions to the date of redemption per Series F Preferred Unit, if any.

Exchange

The Series A Preferred Units may be exchanged on and after September 30, 2015, in whole but not in part, into shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, at the option of 51% of the holders of all outstanding Series A Preferred Units. In addition, the Series A Preferred Units may be exchanged, in whole but not in part, into shares of Series A Preferred Stock at any time at the option of 51% of the holders if:

 

   

distributions on the Series A Preferred Units have not been timely made for six prior quarterly distribution periods, whether or not consecutive, or

 

   

the operating partnership or a subsidiary of the operating partnership is or is likely to become a “publicly traded partnership.”

In addition, the Series A Preferred Units may be exchanged prior to September 30, 2015, in whole but not in part, at the option of the holders of 51% of the Series A Preferred Units if the Series A Preferred Units would not be considered “stock and securities” for United States federal income tax purposes.

The Series A Preferred Units also are exchangeable, in whole but not in part, if the operating partnership believes, or the initial holder believes, based upon the opinion of counsel, that the character of the operating partnership’s assets and income would not allow us to qualify as a REIT. We may, in lieu of exchanging the Series A Preferred Units for shares of Series A Preferred Stock, elect to redeem all or a portion of the Series A Preferred Units for cash in an amount equal to the original capital contribution per Series A Preferred Unit and all accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to the date of redemption. If we elect to redeem fewer than all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Units, the number of Series A Preferred Units held by each holder to be redeemed shall equal such holder’s pro rata share of the aggregate number of Series A Preferred Units being redeemed.

The right of the holders of Series A Preferred Units to exchange their units for shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be subject to the ownership limitations in our charter in order for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes.

Liquidation Preference

The distribution and income allocation provisions of the partnership agreement have the effect of providing each Series A Preferred Unit, Series E Preferred Unit and Series F Preferred Unit with a liquidation preference to each holder equal to $50.00, $25.00 and $25.00 per share, respectively, plus any accumulated but unpaid distributions, in preference to any other class or series of partnership interest.

Common Limited Partnership Units

General

The partnership agreement provides that, subject to the distribution preferences of the Series A, Series E and Series F Preferred Units, common units are entitled to receive quarterly distributions of available cash on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage interests. As of December 31, 2009, 1,723,131 common limited partnership units were issued and outstanding.

Redemption/Exchange Rights

Common limited partners have the right to require the operating partnership to redeem part or all of their common units for cash based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock at the time of the redemption. Alternatively, we may elect to acquire those units tendered for redemption in exchange for shares of our common stock. Our acquisition will be on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of some rights, some extraordinary distributions and similar events. However, even if we elect not to acquire tendered units in exchange for shares of common stock, holders of common units that are corporations or limited liability companies may require that we issue common stock in exchange for their common units, subject to applicable ownership limits or any other limit as provided in our charter or as otherwise determined by our board of directors, as applicable. We presently anticipate that we will elect to issue shares of common stock in exchange for common units in connection with each redemption request, rather than having the operating partnership redeem the common units for cash. With each redemption or exchange, we increase our percentage ownership interest in the operating partnership. Common limited partners may exercise this redemption right from time to time, in whole or in part, except when, as a consequence of shares of common stock being issued, any person’s actual or constructive stock ownership would exceed the ownership limits, or any other limit as provided in our charter or as otherwise determined by our board of directors.

Common Limited Partner Approval Rights

The partnership agreement provides that if the limited partners own at least 5% of the common units representing common partnership interests in the operating partnership, including those common units held by us as general partner, we will not, on behalf of the operating partnership and without the prior consent of the holders of more than 50% of the common units representing limited partnership interests in the operating partnership dissolve the operating partnership, unless the dissolution or sale is incident to a merger or a sale of substantially all of our assets.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF MARYLAND LAW AND OF OUR CHARTER AND BYLAWS

The following is a description of certain provisions of Maryland law and our charter and bylaws. This description is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, Maryland law and our charter and bylaws. You should read our charter and bylaws, which are incorporated by reference to our SEC filings. See “Available Information” in this prospectus.

The Board of Directors

Our charter provides that the number of our directors shall be established by our bylaws, but cannot be less than the minimum number required by the MGCL, which is one. Our bylaws allow our board of directors to fix or change the number to not fewer than three and not more than 13 members. The number of directors is currently fixed at six. A majority of our remaining board of directors may fill any vacancy, other than a vacancy caused by removal. A majority of our board of directors may fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors. The stockholders entitled to vote for the election of directors at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders may fill a vacancy resulting from the removal of a director.

Our charter and bylaws provide that a majority of the board of directors must be “independent directors.” An “independent director” is a director who is not:

 

   

an employee, officer or affiliate of ours or one of our subsidiaries or divisions;

 

   

a relative of a principal executive officer; or

 

   

an individual member of an organization acting as advisor, consultant or legal counsel, who receives compensation on a continuing basis from us in addition to director’s fees.

No Cumulative Voting

Holders of shares of our common stock have no right to cumulative voting for the election of directors. Consequently, at each annual meeting of our stockholders, the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote will be able to elect all of the successors of the directors at that meeting.

Removal of Directors

Our charter provides that our stockholders may remove a director only for “cause” and only by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors. The MGCL does not define the term “cause.” As a result, removal for “cause” is subject to Maryland common law and to judicial interpretation and review in the context of the unique facts and circumstances of any particular situation.

We are not Subject to the Maryland Business Combination Statute

We have elected not to be subject to the “business combination” provisions of the MGCL (sections 3-601 through 3-604) and we cannot rescind such election and become subject to these business combination provisions without the approval of holders of a majority of our shares entitled to vote.

In the event that we decide to be subject to the business combinations provision, “business combinations” between a Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder or an affiliate of an interested stockholder are generally prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. A business combination includes a merger, consolidation or share exchange. A business combination may also include an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. An interested stockholder is defined in the MGCL as:

 

   

any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, ten percent or more of the voting power of the corporation’s shares; or

 

24


Table of Contents
   

an affiliate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the corporation.

A person is not an interested stockholder under the business combinations provisions of the MGCL if the board of directors approved in advance the transaction by which such person would otherwise have become an interested stockholder.

At the conclusion of the five-year prohibition, any business combination between the Maryland corporation and an interested stockholder generally must be recommended by the board of directors of the corporation and approved by the affirmative vote of at least:

 

   

80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation; and

 

   

two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by the interested stockholder with whom or with whose affiliate the business combination is to be effected.

These super-majority vote requirements do not apply if the corporation’s common stockholders receive a minimum price, as defined under Maryland law, for their shares in the form of cash or other consideration in the same form as previously paid by the interested stockholder for its shares. None of these provisions of Maryland law will apply, however, to business combinations that are approved or exempted by the board of directors of the corporation prior to the time that the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder.

As a result of our decision not to be subject to the business combinations statute, an interested stockholder would be able to effect a “business combination” without complying with the requirements discussed above, which may make it easier for stockholders who become interested stockholders to consummate a business combination involving us. However, we cannot assure you that any business combinations will be consummated or, if consummated, will result in a purchase of shares of capital stock from our stockholders at a premium.

We are not Subject to the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Statute

We have elected in our bylaws not to be subject to the “control share acquisition” provisions of the MGCL (sections 3-701 through 3-710). If we want to be subject to these provisions, our bylaws would need to be amended. Such amendments would require the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote.

Maryland law provides that “control shares” of a company acquired in a “control share acquisition” have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to vote, excluding shares owned by the acquiror or by officers or directors who are employees of the company. “Control shares” are voting shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other voting shares of stock previously acquired by the acquiror, or over which the acquiror is able to directly or indirectly exercise voting power, except solely by revocable proxy, would entitle the acquiror to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting power:

 

   

one-tenth or more but less than one-third;

 

   

one-third or more but less than a majority; or

 

   

a majority or more of all voting power.

“Control shares” do not include shares of stock the acquiring person is entitled to vote having obtained prior stockholder approval. Generally, “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of control shares.

 

25


Table of Contents

A person who has made or proposes to make a control share acquisition may compel the board of directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to consider voting rights for the shares. The meeting must be held within 50 days of demand. If no request for a meeting is made, the company may present the question at any stockholders’ meeting.

If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute, then, subject to conditions and limitations, the corporation may redeem any or all of the control shares, except those for which voting rights previously have been approved, for fair value. Fair value is determined without regard to the absence of voting rights for control shares, as of the date of the last control share acquisition or of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting rights of control shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights for control shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquiror becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as determined for purposes of these appraisal rights may not be less than the highest price per share paid in the control share acquisition. Limitations and restrictions otherwise applicable to the exercise of dissenters’ rights do not apply in the context of a control share acquisition.

The control share acquisition statute does not apply to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation or share exchange if the company is a party to the transaction, or to acquisitions approved or exempted by its charter or bylaws. Because we are not subject to these provisions, stockholders who acquire a substantial block of our common stock do not need approval of the other stockholders before exercising full voting rights with respect to their shares on all matters. This may make it easier for any of these control share stockholders to effect a business combination with us. However, we cannot assure you that any business combinations will be consummated or, if consummated, will result in a purchase of shares of our common stock from any stockholder at a premium.

Unsolicited Takeovers

Under certain provisions of the MGCL relating to unsolicited takeovers, a Maryland corporation with a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and at least three independent directors may elect to be subject to certain statutory provisions relating to unsolicited takeovers which, among other things, would automatically classify its board of directors into three classes with staggered terms of three years each and vest in its board of directors the exclusive right to determine the number of directors and the exclusive right, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, to fill vacancies on the board of directors, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum. These statutory provisions also provide that any director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred, rather than the next annual meeting of directors as would otherwise be the case, and until his successor is elected and qualified.

An election to be subject to any or all of the foregoing statutory provisions may be made in our charter or bylaws, or by resolution of our board of directors. Any such statutory provision to which we elect to be subject will apply even if other provisions of Maryland law or our charter or bylaws provide to the contrary.

If we made an election to be subject to the statutory provisions described above, our board of directors would automatically be classified into three classes with staggered terms of office of three years each, and would have the exclusive right to determine the number of directors and the exclusive right to fill vacancies on the board of directors. Moreover, any director elected to fill a vacancy would hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred.

In such instance, the classification and staggered terms of office of our directors would make it more difficult for a third party to gain control of our board of directors since at least two annual meetings of stockholders, instead of one, generally would be required to effect a change in the majority of our board of directors.

 

26


Table of Contents

We have not elected to become subject to the foregoing statutory provisions relating to unsolicited takeovers. However, we could by resolutions adopted by our board of directors and without stockholder approval, elect to become subject to some or all of these statutory provisions.

Amendment of Our Charter and Bylaws

Our charter may generally be amended only if the amendment is declared advisable by our board of directors and approved by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote on the amendment. Our bylaws generally may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the board of directors or of a majority of our shares entitled to vote. However, the following bylaw provisions may be amended only by the approval of a majority of our shares of capital stock entitled to vote:

 

   

provisions opting out of the control share acquisition statute;

 

   

provisions requiring approval by the independent directors for selection of operators of our properties or of transactions involving John B. Kilroy, Sr. and John B. Kilroy, Jr. and their affiliates; and

 

   

provisions governing amendment of our bylaws.

Meetings of Stockholders

Our bylaws provide for annual meetings of our stockholders to elect directors and to transact other business properly brought before the meeting. In addition, a special meeting of stockholders may be called by:

 

   

the president;

 

   

the board of directors;

 

   

the chairman of the board;

 

   

holders of at least a majority of our outstanding common stock entitled to vote by making a written request;

 

   

holders of 10% of our Series A Preferred Stock for the stockholders of Series A Preferred Stock and all other classes or series of preferred stock ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock to elect two additional directors to our board of directors if dividends on any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain unpaid for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive;

 

   

holders of 10% of our Series E Preferred Stock for the stockholders of Series E Preferred Stock and all other classes or series of preferred stock ranking on parity with the Series E Preferred Stock to elect two additional directors to our board of directors if dividends on any shares of Series E Preferred Stock remain unpaid for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive; and

 

   

holders of 10% of our Series F Preferred Stock for the stockholders of Series F Preferred Stock and all other classes or series of preferred stock ranking on parity with the Series F Preferred Stock to elect two additional directors to our board of directors if dividends on any shares of Series F Preferred Stock remain unpaid for six or more quarterly periods, whether or not consecutive.

The MGCL provides that our stockholders also may act by unanimous written consent without a meeting with respect to any action that they are required or permitted to take at a meeting. To do so, each stockholder entitled to vote on the matter must sign the consent setting forth the action.

 

27


Table of Contents

Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business

Our bylaws provide that with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders, nominations of persons for election to our board of directors and the proposal of other business to be considered by stockholders at the meeting may be made only:

 

   

pursuant to our notice of the meeting;

 

   

by or at the direction of our board of directors; or

 

   

by a stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting and has complied with the advance notice procedures of our bylaws.

Our bylaws also provide that with respect to special meetings of stockholders, only the business specified in the notice of meeting may be brought before the meeting.

The advance notice provisions of our bylaws could have the effect of discouraging a takeover or other transaction in which holders of some, or a majority, of the shares of common stock might receive a premium for their shares over the then prevailing market price or which holders of our common stock believe is in their best interests.

Dissolution of our Company

Under the MGCL, we may be dissolved if a majority of our entire board of directors determines by resolution that dissolution is advisable and submits a proposal for dissolution for consideration at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, and this proposal is approved, by the vote of the holders of two-thirds of the shares of our capital stock entitled to vote on the dissolution.

Indemnification and Limitation of Liability of Directors and Officers

Our charter and bylaws, and the partnership agreement, provide for indemnification of our officers and directors against liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by the MGCL, as amended from time to time.

The MGCL permits us to indemnify our directors and officers and other parties against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that:

 

   

the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;

 

   

the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or

 

   

in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

Under the MGCL, we may indemnify our directors or officers against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses that they actually incur in connection with the proceeding unless the proceeding is one by us or in our right and the director or officer has been found to be liable to us. In addition, we may not indemnify a director or officer in any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to them if they were found to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was received. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the director or officer did not meet the requisite standard of conduct required for indemnification to be permitted. The termination of any proceeding by conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of any order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the director or officer did not meet the requisite standard of conduct required for indemnification to be permitted.

Table of Contents

In addition, the MGCL provides that, unless limited by its charter, a corporation shall indemnify any director or officer who is made a party to any proceeding by reason of service in that capacity against reasonable expenses incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceeding, in the event that the director or officer is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding. Our charter contains no such limitation.

As permitted by the MGCL, our charter limits the liability of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders for money damages, subject to specified restrictions. However, the liability of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders for money damages is not limited if:

 

   

it is proved that the director or officer actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services; or

 

   

a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer is entered in a proceeding based on a finding that the director’s or officer’s action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding.

This provision does not limit our ability or our stockholders’ ability to obtain other relief, such as an injunction or rescission.

The partnership agreement provides that we, as general partner, and our officers and directors are indemnified to the same extent our officers and directors are indemnified in our charter. The partnership agreement limits our liability and the liability of our officers and directors to the operating partnership and its partners to the same extent that our charter limits the liability of our officers and directors to us and our stockholders. See “Description of Material Provisions of the Partnership Agreement of Kilroy Realty, L.P.—Indemnification of Our Officers and Directors.”

Insofar as the foregoing provisions permit indemnification of directors, officers or persons controlling us for liability arising under the Securities Act, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with certain of our executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements provide that:

 

   

we must indemnify our executive officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and advance to our executive officers and directors all expenses related to the defense of indemnifiable claims against them, subject to reimbursement if it is subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted;

 

   

we must indemnify and advance all expenses incurred by executive officers and directors seeking to enforce their rights under the indemnification agreements; and

 

   

to the extent we maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, we must provide coverage under such insurance to our executive officers and directors.

Our indemnification agreements with our executive officers and directors offer substantially the same scope of coverage afforded by applicable law. In addition, as contracts, these indemnification agreements provide greater assurance to our directors and executive officers that indemnification will be available because they cannot be modified unilaterally in the future by the board of directors or the stockholders to eliminate the rights that they provide.

Anti-takeover Effect of Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of our Charter and Bylaws

If the resolution of our board of directors exempting us from the business combination provisions of the MGCL and the applicable provision in our bylaws exempting us from the control share acquisition provisions of the MGCL are rescinded or revoked (which in each case would require stockholder approval) or we elect to be subject to the unsolicited takeover provisions of the MGCL, the business combination, control share acquisition and unsolicited takeover provisions of the MGCL, the provisions of our charter on removal of directors, the advance notice provisions of our bylaws and certain other provisions of our charter and bylaws and Maryland law could delay, defer or prevent a change in control of our company or other transactions that might involve a premium price for holders of our capital stock or otherwise be in our best interest.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling securityholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of the shares of our common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers, agents or any combination thereof. The term “selling securityholder” includes pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors-in-interest that receive the resale shares from a selling securityholder as a gift, distribution or other transfer (including a purchase) after the date of this prospectus. To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.

The selling securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale of the resale shares. The selling securityholders will be responsible for any underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The selling securityholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares (which may involve crosses or block transactions):

 

   

on the NYSE or any other national securities exchange or quotation service on which the common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

 

   

in the over-the-counter market;

 

   

in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

 

   

through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

 

   

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

   

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;

 

   

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

   

in privately negotiated transactions;

 

   

through the settlement of short sales;

 

   

broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

   

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

   

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

In connection with the distributions of the resale shares or otherwise, the selling securityholders, underwriters, selling group members and their respective affiliates may:

 

   

enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the resale shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume;

 

   

sell our shares short and deliver the resale shares to close out such short positions;

 

   

enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to them of resale shares offered by this prospectus, which they may in turn resell; or

 

   

pledge shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, which, upon a default by the selling securityholder under the transaction to which such pledge relates, they may in turn resell.

 

31


Table of Contents

In addition, the selling securityholders may sell the shares pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act, as permitted by that rule, or under Section 4(1) of the Securities Act, rather than pursuant to this prospectus. In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the selling securityholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Brokerdealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the selling securityholders, in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.

The selling securityholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

The selling securityholders will be subject to the Exchange Act, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of common stock by the selling securityholders and their affiliates.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, the resale shares must be sold in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.

We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling securityholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the resale shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

At the time a particular offer of resale shares is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth:

 

   

the number of resale shares being offered;

 

   

the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent;

 

   

the purchase price paid by any underwriter;

 

   

any discount, commission and other underwriter compensation;

 

   

any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer; and

 

   

the proposed selling price to the public.

We have agreed to indemnify the selling securityholders against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.

LEGAL MATTERS

Latham & Watkins LLP, Los Angeles, California will pass upon certain legal matters described under “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this prospectus. Certain legal matters with respect to the validity of shares of our common stock and certain other legal matters relating to Maryland law will be passed upon for us by Ballard Spahr LLP, Baltimore, Maryland, our Maryland counsel.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers and other parties against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that:

 

   

the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; or

 

   

the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or

 

   

in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

Indemnification may be made against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceeding; provided, however, that if the proceeding is one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may not be made with respect to any proceeding in which the director or officer has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation. In addition, a director or officer may not be indemnified with respect to any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director or officer, whether or not involving action in the director’s or officer’s official capacity, in which the director or officer was adjudged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, or settlement does not create a presumption that the director or officer did not meet the requisite standard of conduct required for indemnification to be permitted. The termination of any proceeding by conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of any order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the director or officer did not meet the requisite standard of conduct required for indemnification to be permitted.

In addition, Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law provides that, unless limited by its charter, a corporation shall indemnify any director or officer who is made a party to any proceeding by reason of service in that capacity against reasonable expenses incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceeding, in the event that the director or officer is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding. Our charter contains no such limitation.

 

II-1


Table of Contents

Our charter and bylaws provide in effect that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. We have purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the benefit of our directors and officers.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with certain of our executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements require, among other matters, that we indemnify our executive officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law and reimburse them for all related expenses as incurred, subject to return if it is subsequently determined that indemnification is not permitted.

As permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law, our charter limits the liability of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders for money damages, subject to specified restrictions. However, the liability of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders is not limited if:

 

   

it is proved that the director or officer actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services; or

 

   

a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer is entered in a proceeding based on a finding that the director’s or officer’s action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding.

This provision does not limit our ability or our stockholders’ ability to obtain other relief, such as an injunction or rescission.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

II-3


Table of Contents

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(i) each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the

 

II-4


Table of Contents

purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
