EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2015 of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “our Company” refer to Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “our operating partnership” refer to Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
Our Company is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the sole general partner of our operating partnership. As of June 30, 2015, we owned approximately 61.4% of the outstanding common units of partnership interest in our operating partnership, or common units. The remaining approximately 38.6% of outstanding common units are owned by certain of our executive officers and directors, certain of their affiliates, and other outside investors, including funds affiliated with Farallon Capital Management, LLC and Blackstone Real Estate Partners V and VI (“Blackstone”). As the sole general partner of our operating partnership, our Company has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for our operating partnership’s day-to-day management and control.
We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of our Company and our operating partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:
•
enhancing investors’ understanding of our Company and our operating partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
•
eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both our Company and our operating partnership; and
•
creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

There are a few differences between our Company and our operating partnership, which are reflected in the disclosures in this report. We believe it is important to understand the differences between our Company and our operating partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated, consolidated company. Our Company is a REIT, the only material assets of which are the partnership units of our operating partnership. As a result, our Company does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of our operating partnership, issuing equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of our operating partnership. Our Company itself does not issue any indebtedness but guarantees some of the debt of our operating partnership. We own our interests in all of our properties and conduct substantially all of our business through our operating partnership, of which we serve as the sole general partner.  Our operating partnership is structured as a partnership and has no public traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by our Company, which are generally contributed to our operating partnership in exchange for units of partnership interest in our operating partnership, our operating partnership generates the capital required by our Company’s business through our operating partnership’s operations, our operating partnership’s incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of units of partnership interest in our operating partnership.
The presentation of non-controlling common units, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of our Company and those of our operating partnership. The common units in our operating partnership are accounted for as partners’ capital in our operating partnership’s consolidated financial statements and, to the extent not held by our Company, as non-controlling common units in our Company’s consolidated financial statements. The differences between stockholders’ equity, partners’ capital and non-controlling common units result from the differences in the equity issued by our Company and our operating partnership.
To help investors understand the few but significant differences between our Company and our operating partnership, this report presents the consolidated financial statements separately for our Company and our operating partnership. All other sections of this report, including “Selected Financial Data,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” are presented together for our Company and our operating partnership.
In order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that our Company and our operating partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act and 18 U.S.C. §1350, this report also includes separate “Item 4. Controls and Procedures” sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of our Company and our operating partnership.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share data or as otherwise noted)




1. Organization

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (which is referred to in these financial statements as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a Maryland corporation formed on November 9, 2009 that did not have any meaningful operating activity until the consummation of our initial public offering and the related acquisition of our predecessor and certain other entities on June 29, 2010 (“IPO”).

Since the completion of the IPO and the related formation transactions, we have been a fully integrated, self-administered, and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Through our controlling interest in Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. (“our operating partnership” or the “Operating Partnership,” which is also referred to in these financial statements as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and its subsidiaries, we own, manage, lease, acquire and develop real estate, consisting primarily of office and media and entertainment properties. On April 1, 2015, the Company completed (the “Acquisition”) of the EOP Northern California Portfolio from Blackstone Real Estate Partners V and VI (“Blackstone”). The EOP Northern California Portfolio consists of 26 high-quality office assets totaling approximately 8.2 million square feet and two development parcels located throughout the San Francisco Peninsula, Redwood Shores, Palo Alto, Silicon Valley and San Jose Airport submarkets. The total consideration paid for the EOP Northern California Portfolio before certain credits, proration, and closing costs included a cash payment of $1.75 billion and an aggregate of 63,474,791 shares of common stock of the Company and common units in the Operating Partnership.  See Note 10, Related Party Transaction — Acquisition of EOP Northern California Portfolio for additional details.

As of June 30, 2015, we owned a portfolio of 53 office properties and two media and entertainment properties. These properties are located in California and Washington. The results of operations for properties acquired after our IPO are included in our consolidated statements of operations from the date of each such acquisition.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The unaudited interim financial statements of the Company include the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership and all of our wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. The unaudited interim financial statements of the Operating Partnership include the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership and all wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The effect of all significant intercompany balances and transactions has been eliminated.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make their presentation not misleading. The accompanying unaudited financial statements include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2015. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the notes thereto. Any reference to the number of properties and square footage are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to acquiring, developing and assessing the carrying values of its real estate properties, its accrued liabilities, and its performance-based equity compensation awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current market conditions, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

Investment in Real Estate Properties

The properties are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company assigns the cost of an acquisition, including the assumption of liabilities, to the acquired tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values in accordance with GAAP. The Company assesses fair value based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors, including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it was vacant.

Acquisition-related expenses associated with acquisition of operating properties are expensed in the period incurred.

The Company records acquired above- and below- market leases at fair value using discount rates that reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired. The amount recorded is based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the extended term for any leases with below-market renewal options. Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes estimates of lost rents at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, which are dependent on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, the Company considers leasing commissions, legal and other related costs.

The Company capitalizes direct construction and development costs, including predevelopment costs, interest, property taxes, insurance and other costs directly related and essential to the acquisition, development or construction of a real estate project. Indirect development costs, including salaries and benefits, office rent, and associated costs for those individuals directly responsible for and who spend their time on development activities are also capitalized and allocated to the projects to which they relate. Capitalized personnel costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were approximately $1.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, and $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Interest is capitalized on the construction in progress at a rate equal to the Company’s weighted average cost of debt. Capitalized interest for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $0.9 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and $1.7 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. Construction and development costs are capitalized while substantial activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use. The Company considers a construction project as substantially complete and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements but no later than one year after cessation of major construction activity. Costs incurred after a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, or after development activities have ceased, are expensed as they are incurred. Costs previously capitalized related to abandoned acquisitions or developments are charged to earnings. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as they are incurred.

The Company computes depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 39 years for building and improvements, 15 years for land improvements, five to seven years for furniture and fixtures and equipment, and over the shorter of asset life or life of the lease for tenant improvements. Above- and below-market lease intangibles are amortized to revenue over the remaining non-cancellable lease terms and bargain renewal periods, if applicable. Other in-place lease intangibles are amortized to expense over the remaining non-cancellable lease term. Depreciation is discontinued when a property is identified as held for sale.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses the carrying value of real estate assets and related intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable in accordance with GAAP. Impairment losses are recorded on real estate assets held for investment when indicators of impairment are present and the future undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. The Company recognizes impairment losses to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the properties. Properties held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less cost to sell. There were no properties held for sale at June 30, 2015 and one property held for sale at December 31, 2014. The Company recorded no impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share data)



Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations. Our goodwill balance as of June 30, 2015 was $8.8 million. We do not amortize this asset but instead analyze it on an annual basis for impairment. No impairment indicators have been noted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand and in banks, plus all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.

The Company maintains some of its cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed the federally insured limit. No losses have been experienced related to such accounts.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of amounts held by lenders to provide for future real estate taxes and insurance expenditures, repairs and capital improvements reserves, general and other reserves and security deposits.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable consist of amounts due for monthly rents and other charges. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from tenant defaults or the inability of tenants to make contractual rent and tenant recovery payments. The Company monitors the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants and operators on an ongoing basis. This evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, property performance, credit enhancements and other factors. For straight-line rent amounts, the Company’s assessment is based on amounts estimated to be recoverable over the term of the lease. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had reserved $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of straight-line receivables. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on specific identification of uncollectible accounts and the Company’s historical collection experience. The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment and the Company’s historical experience. Historical experience has been within management’s expectations. The Company recognized $0.39 million and $0.1 million of bad debt (recovery) expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The following summarizes our accounts receivable net of allowance for doubtful accounts as of:

Notes Receivable

On August 19, 2014, the Company entered into a loan participation agreement for a loan with a maximum principal of $140.0 million. The Company’s share was 23.77%, or $33.3 million. The note receivable is secured by real property, has a balance of $28.5 million as of June 30, 2015, bears interest at 11.0% and matures on August 18, 2016. Interest is payable monthly with the principal due at maturity. The Company received a $0.4 million commitment fee as a result of this transaction. The balance as of June 30, 2015, net of the commitment fee, was $28.5 million and was classified as a note receivable on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company believes these balances are fully collectible.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes rental revenue from tenants on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the

18
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share data)



tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:

•
whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;

•
whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;

•
whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general-purpose in nature; and

•
whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.

Certain leases provide for additional rents contingent upon a percentage of the tenant’s revenue in excess of specified base amounts or other thresholds. Such revenue is recognized when actual results reported by the tenant, or estimates of tenant results, exceed the base amount or other thresholds. Such revenue is recognized only after the contingency has been removed (when the related thresholds are achieved), which may result in the recognition of rental revenue in periods subsequent to when such payments are received.

Other property-related revenue is revenue that is derived from the tenants’ use of lighting, equipment rental, parking, power, HVAC and telecommunications (phone and Internet). Other property-related revenue is recognized when these items are provided.

Tenant recoveries related to reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period during which the applicable expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recognized and presented gross, as the Company is generally the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, has discretion in selecting the supplier and bears the associated credit risk.

The Company recognizes gains on sales of properties upon the closing of the transaction with the purchaser. Gains on properties sold are recognized using the full accrual method when (i) the collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured, (ii) the Company is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale, (iii) the initial investment from the buyer is sufficient and (iv) other profit recognition criteria have been satisfied. Gains on sales of properties may be deferred in whole or in part until the requirements for gain recognition have been met.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of the respective loan.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company manages interest rate risk associated with borrowings by entering into interest rate derivative contracts. The Company recognizes all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value and the changes in fair value are reflected as income or expense. If the derivative is an effective hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income, which is a component of equity. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.

The Company held seven and three interest rate contracts as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, all of which have been accounted for as cash flow hedges as more fully described in Note 6 below.

(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share data)



Stock-Based Compensation

Accounting Standard Codification, (ASC), Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (referred to as ASC Topic 718), requires us to recognize an expense for the fair value of equity-based compensation awards. Grants of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units under our equity incentive award plans are accounted for under ASC Topic 718. Our compensation committee regularly considers the accounting implications of significant compensation decisions, especially in connection with decisions that relate to our equity incentive award plans and programs.

Income Taxes

Our property-owning subsidiaries are limited liability companies and are treated as pass-through entities or disregarded entities (or, in the case of the entity that owns the 1455 Market Street property, a REIT) for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the activities of these entities.

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) commencing with our initial taxable year. To qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to such matters as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Provided we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders that we derive from our REIT-qualifying activities. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and are unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, all of our taxable income would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax.

We have elected, together with one of our subsidiaries, to treat such subsidiary as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes. Certain activities that we undertake, such as non-customary services for our tenants and holding assets that we cannot hold directly, will be conducted by a TRS. A TRS is subject to federal and, where applicable, state income taxes on its net income.

The Company is subject to the statutory requirements of the states in which it conducts business.

The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

The REIT and its TRS file income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various state and local jurisdictions. The REIT and the TRS are no longer subject to tax examinations by taxing authorities for the years prior to 2011. Generally, the Company has assessed its tax positions for all open years, which includes 2011 to 2014, and concluded that there are no material uncertainties to be recognized.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other financial instruments and balances at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

•
Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

•
Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

•
Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

20
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share data)




When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from an independent third-party source to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require the Company to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When the Company determines the market for a financial instrument owned by the Company to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, the Company uses several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establishes a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources.

Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of an inactive market: (i) there are few recent transactions, (ii) price quotations are not based on current information, (iii) price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers (for example, some brokered markets), (iv) indexes that previously were highly correlated with the fair values of the asset or liability are demonstrably uncorrelated with recent indications of fair value for that asset or liability, (v) there is a significant increase in implied liquidity risk premiums, yields, or performance indicators (such as delinquency rates or loss severities) for observed transactions or quoted prices when compared with the Company’s estimate of expected cash flows, considering all available market data about credit and other nonperformance risk for the asset or liability, (vi) there is a wide bid-ask spread or significant increase in the bid-ask spread, (vii) there is a significant decline or absence of a market for new issuances (that is, a primary market) for the asset or liability or similar assets or liabilities, and (viii) little information is released publicly (for example, a principal-to-principal market).

The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of non-orderly transactions: (i) there was not adequate exposure to the market for a period before the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities under current market conditions, (ii) there was a usual and customary marketing period, but the seller marketed the asset or liability to a single market participant, (iii) the seller is in or near bankruptcy or receivership (that is, distressed), or the seller was required to sell to meet regulatory or legal requirements (that is, forced), and (iv) the transaction price is an outlier when compared with other recent transactions for the same or similar assets or liabilities.    

The Company’s interest rate contract agreements are classified as Level 2 and their fair value is derived from estimated values obtained from observable market data for similar instruments.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Recently Issued Accounting Literature

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, in the form of ASUs. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Recently issued ASUs not listed below are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations, because either the ASU is not applicable or the impact is expected to be immaterial.

On April 7, 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 (ASU 2015-03) “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Cost” to amend the accounting guidance for the presentation of debt issuance costs. The standard requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. ASU 2015-03 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 and retrospective application is required. Early adoption of the guidance is permitted. The Company expects to adopt the guidance effective January 1, 2016 and our adoption of the guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On April 1, 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (ASU 2014-09), which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenues arising from contracts with customers and notes that lease contracts with customers are a scope exception. Public business entities may elect to adopt the amendments as of the original effective date; however, if the proposed deferral is approved, adoption is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our consolidated financial statements or notes to our consolidated financial statements.


On February 18, 2015 the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02 “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis” (ASU 2015-02) to amend the accounting guidance for consolidation. The standard simplifies the current guidance for

22

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share data)



consolidation and reduces the number of consolidation models through the elimination of the indefinite deferral of Statement 167. Additionally, the standard places more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest. ASU 2015-02 is effective for all entities for reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt the guidance effective January 1, 2016, and our adoption of the guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On January 9, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, “Income Statement — Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items,” (ASU 2015-01). ASU 2015-01 eliminates the concept of an extraordinary item from GAAP. As a result, an entity will no longer be required to segregate extraordinary items from the results of ordinary operations, to separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations or to disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. However, ASU 2015-01 will still retain the presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature and occur infrequently. ASU 2015-01 will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016 and subsequent interim periods. The adoption of ASU 2015-01 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On August 27, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (ASU 2014-15). This update requires an entity to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the financial statements are available to be issued, when applicable) and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances.  This update is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter with early adoption permitted. The implementation of this update is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Investment in Real Estate

The Company’s acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method. The results of operations for each of these acquisitions are included in our consolidated statements of operations from the date of acquisition.

Acquisitions

On April 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of the EOP Northern California Portfolio from Blackstone Real Estate Partners V and VI (“Blackstone”). The EOP Northern California Portfolio consists of 26 high-quality office assets totaling approximately 8.2 million square feet and two development parcels located throughout the San Francisco Peninsula, Redwood Shores, Palo Alto, Silicon Valley and San Jose Airport submarkets. The total consideration paid for the EOP Northern California Portfolio before certain credits, proration, and closing costs included a cash payment of $1.75 billion (financed with proceeds received from the Company’s January 2015 common equity offering and $1.3 billion of new term debt), an aggregate of 63,474,791 shares of common stock of the company and common units in the Operating Partnership.

On May 22, 2015, the Company acquired a three-story, 120,937-square-foot former manufacturing facility known as “4th & Traction” in Los Angeles, California for $49.3 million (before certain credits, prorations and closing costs). The Company funded this off-market transaction with proceeds from its unsecured revolving credit facility.

Included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were revenues and net income from 2015 acquisitions of $87.6 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

(1)
Interest rate with respect to indebtedness is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, excluding the amortization of loan fees and costs. Interest rates as of June 30, 2015, which may be different than the interest rates as of December 31, 2014 for corresponding indebtedness.
(2)
Effective as of May 1, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate contract with respect to $300.0 million of the $550.0 million 5-year term loan facility that swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 1.36% through the loan’s maturity on April 1, 2020. As a result, $300.0 million of this facility currently bears interest at a rate equal to 2.66% to 3.56% per annum depending on our leverage ratio.
(3)
Effective as of May 1, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate contract with respect to the entire $350.0 million 7-year term loan facility that swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 1.61% through the loan’s maturity on April 1, 2022. As a result, this facility currently bears interest at a rate equal to 3.21% to 4.16% per annum depending on our leverage ratio.
(4)
On April 10, 2015, the loan was fully repaid.
(5)
This loan was assumed on June 14, 2013 in connection with the contribution of the Pinnacle II building to the Company’s joint venture with M. David Paul & Associates/Worthe Real Estate Group.

Beginning with the payment due October 6, 2011, monthly debt service includes annual debt amortization payments based on a 30-year amortization schedule.
(6)
On October 29, 2012, we obtained a loan for our 901 Market property pursuant to which we borrowed $49.6 million upon closing. On April 10, 2015, we repaid $19.6 million of this loan.
(7)
On November 24, 2014, we amended our construction loan for Element LA to, among other things, increase availability from $65.5 million to $102.4 million for budgeted site-work, construction of a parking garage, base building, tenant improvement, and leasing commission costs associated with the renovation and lease-up of the property.
(8)
This loan is amortizing based on a 30-year amortization schedule.
(9)
On March 16, 2011, we purchased an interest rate cap in order to cap one-month LIBOR at 3.715% with respect to $50.0 million of the loan through February 11, 2016. On January 11, 2012 we purchased an interest rate cap in order to cap one-month LIBOR at 2.00% with respect to $42.0 million of the loan through February 11, 2016. Effective March 4, 2015, the terms of this loan were amended and restated to introduce the ability to draw up to an additional $160.0 million for budgeted construction costs associated with our ICON development and to extend the maturity date from February 11, 2018 to March 4, 2019 with a 1-year extension option.
(10)
This loan bears interest only at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.55%. The full loan amount is subject to an interest rate contract that swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 2.1644% through the loan’s maturity on August 1, 2020. As a result, this loan bears interest at a rate equal to 3.7144% per annum.

Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities

A&R Credit Agreement

On April 1, 2015, the Operating Partnership funded the facilities entered into pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 31, 2015 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith, Incorporated and Keybanc Capital Markets, Inc. as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, with respect to the Existing Facilities (as defined below), and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Keybanc Capital Markets, Inc. as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, with respect to the 7-Year Term Loan Facility (as defined below), Bank of America, N.A., and KeyBank National Association, as syndication agents with respect to the Existing Facilities, and KeyBank National Association, as syndication agent with respect to the 7-Year Term Loan Facility, Barclays Bank PLC, Fifth Third Bank, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., Royal Bank of Canada, Goldman Sachs Bank USA, and U.S. Bank National Association, as documentation agents with respect to the Existing Facilities, and the lenders party thereto (the “A&R Credit Agreement”).

The A&R Credit Agreement amended and restated the Operating Partnership’s existing $300.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and $150.0 million unsecured term loan facility entered into on September 23, 2014 to, among other things, extend the term, increase the unsecured revolving credit facility to $400.0 million, increase the unsecured 5-year term loan facility to $550.0 million (the “5-Year Term Loan Facility” and, together with the unsecured revolving credit facility, the “Existing Facilities”), and add a $350.0 million unsecured 7-year term loan facility (the “7-Year Term Loan Facility,” and, together with the Existing Facilities, the “A&R Credit Facilities”), which A&R Credit Facilities were or will be used: (a) for the payment of pre-development and development costs incurred in connection with properties owned by the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary; (b) to finance acquisitions otherwise permitted under the A&R Credit Agreement (including the Acquisition); (c) to finance capital expenditures

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share data)



and the repayment of indebtedness of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries; (d) to provide for the general working capital needs of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and for other general corporate purposes of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries; and (e) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the A&R Credit Agreement. The Operating Partnership continues to be the borrower under the A&R Credit Agreement. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries that own unencumbered properties are required to provide guaranties unless the Company obtains and maintains a credit rating of at least BBB- from S&P or Baa3 from Moody’s, in which case such guaranties by its subsidiaries are not required, except under limited circumstances. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and lender commitments, the Operating Partnership may increase the availability of the A&R Credit Facilities so long as the aggregate commitments under the A&R Credit Facilities do not exceed $2.0 billion.

For borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility, the Operating Partnership may elect to pay interest at a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 115 basis points to 185 basis points per annum or a specified base rate plus 15 basis points to 85 basis points per annum, depending on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio. For borrowings under the 5-Year Term Loan Facility, the Operating Partnership may elect to pay interest at a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 130 basis points to 220 basis points per annum or a specified base rate plus 30 basis points to 120 basis points per annum, depending on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio. For borrowings under the 7-Year Term Loan Facility, the Operating Partnership may elect to pay interest at a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 160 basis points to 255 basis points per annum or a specified base rate plus 60 basis points to 155 basis points per annum, depending on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio. If the Company obtains a credit rating for the Company’s senior unsecured long term indebtedness, the Operating Partnership may make an irrevocable election to change the interest rate for the unsecured revolving credit facility to a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 87.5 basis points to 155 basis points per annum or the specified base rate plus zero basis points to 55 basis points per annum, for the 5-Year Term Loan Facility to a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 90 basis points to 185 basis points per annum or the specified base rate plus zero basis points to 85, and for the 7-Year Term Loan Facility to a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 140 basis points to 235 basis points per annum or the specified base rate plus 40 basis points to 135 basis points per annum, in each case, depending on the credit rating.

The unsecured revolving credit facility is subject to a facility fee in an amount equal to the Operating Partnership’s revolving credit commitments (whether or not utilized) multiplied by a rate per annum equal to 20 basis points to 35 basis points, depending on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio, or, if the Operating Partnership makes the credit rating election, in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Operating Partnership’s revolving credit commitments (whether or not utilized) multiplied by a rate per annum equal to 12.5 basis points to 30 basis points, depending upon the credit rating. Unused amounts under the facility are not subject to a separate fee.

The amount available for us to borrow under the A&R Credit Agreement remains subject to compliance with a number of customary restrictive covenants contained therein, including:

•
a maximum leverage ratio (defined as consolidated unsecured indebtedness plus the Operating Partnership’s pro rata share of indebtedness of unconsolidated affiliates to total asset value) of 0.60:1:00, provided that such ratio may increase to 0.65 to 1.00 for up to two (2) consecutive calendar quarters immediately following a material acquisition not more than twice during the term of the A&R Credit Agreement;

•
a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (defined as the Operating Partnership’s adjusted EBITDA to its fixed charges) of 1.50:1.00;

•
a maximum secured indebtedness leverage ratio (defined as consolidated secured indebtedness plus the Operating Partnership’s pro rata share of secured indebtedness of unconsolidated affiliates to total asset value) of 0.55:1:00;

•
a minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio (defined as consolidated net operating income from unencumbered properties plus the Operating Partnership’s pro rata share of net operating income from unencumbered properties to unsecured interest expense) of 2.00:1.00; and

•
a maximum recourse debt ratio (defined as recourse indebtedness other than indebtedness under the revolving credit facility but including unsecured lines of credit to total asset value) of 0.15:1.00, provided that such test does not apply so long as the Company maintains an investment grade credit rating.

In addition to these covenants, the A&R Credit Agreement also includes certain limitations on dividend payouts and distributions, limits on certain types of investments outside of the Operating Partnership’s primary business, and other customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Operating Partnership’s ability to borrow under the A&R Credit Agreement is subject to continued compliance with these covenants.

28
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share data)




The original revolving loan maturity date for the A&R Credit Agreement may be extended once, for an additional one-year term. A fee equal to 0.15% of the aggregate outstanding revolving commitments at such time (whether or not utilized) must be paid to the administrative agent to exercise the right to extend.

If the Operating Partnership voluntarily prepays any of the borrowings under the 7-year term loan facility prior to the first anniversary of the closing of such facility, such prepayments are subject to a 2% prepayment premium on the principal amount of such loans that are prepaid. If the Operating Partnership voluntarily prepays any of the borrowings under the 7-year term loan facility on or after the first anniversary of the closing of such facility and prior to the second anniversary of the closing of such facility, such prepayments are subject to a 1% prepayment premium on the principal amount of such loans that are prepaid.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with its unsecured revolving credit facility’s financial covenants. As of June 30, 2015, we had total borrowing capacity of $400.0 million under our unsecured revolving credit facility, $45.0 million of which had been drawn.

New Credit Agreement

On April 1, 2015, the Operating Partnership funded the facility entered into pursuant to a separate Term Loan Credit Agreement dated March 31, 2015 with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith, Incorporated, and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, and the lenders party thereto (the “New Credit Agreement”).

The New Credit Agreement provides a $550.0 million unsecured 2-year term loan credit facility (the “2-Year Term Loan Facility”), which was fully drawn by us on the date of the New Credit Agreement to consummate the Acquisition, with the remaining funds used to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Acquisition and the New Credit Agreement. The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the New Credit Agreement and the Company and all of its subsidiaries that own unencumbered properties will provide guaranties unless the Company obtains and maintains a credit rating of at least BBB- from S&P or Baa3 from Moody’s, in which case such guaranties are not required, except under limited circumstances.

For borrowings under the 2-Year Term Loan Facility, the Operating Partnership may elect to pay interest at a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 130 basis points to 220 basis points per annum or a specified base rate plus 30 basis points to 120 basis points per annum, depending on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio. If the Company obtains a credit rating for its senior unsecured long term indebtedness, the Operating Partnership may make an irrevocable election to change the interest rate for the 2-Year Term Loan Facility to a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 90 basis points to 185 basis points per annum or the specified base rate plus zero basis points to 85 basis points per annum, depending on the credit rating.

The term of the New Credit Agreement is two years, with one one-year extension option. If any undrawn commitments remain as of April 1, 2016, a fee equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate amount of the commitments (whether disbursed or undisbursed) is due and payable on April 1, 2016. If the Operating Partnership exercises the one-year extension option, it is required to pay to the administrative agent a fee equal to one and half percent (1.5%) of the aggregate outstanding commitments so extended (whether or not utilized).

Except as noted herein, the New Credit Agreement is on terms substantially similar to the terms and subject to the financial covenants provided in the A&R Credit Agreement, as applicable to the 5-Year Term Loan Facility thereunder.

Furthermore, we agreed to guarantee the completion of the construction improvements including tenant improvements, as defined in the agreement, in the event of any default of the borrower. If the borrower fails to complete the remaining required work, the guarantor agrees to perform timely all of the completion obligations, as defined in the agreement.

Upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, as defined in the repayment guaranty agreement, our liability with respect to the principal under this loan will be reduced to zero, unless certain further events, described in the guarantee occur, in which case our maximum liability as guarantor will be restored to 25.0% of the principal under the loan. Furthermore, we agreed to guarantee the completion of the construction improvements including tenant improvements, as defined in the agreement, in the event of any default of the borrower. If the borrower fails to complete the remaining required work, the guarantor agrees to perform timely all of the completion obligations, as defined in the agreement.

Furthermore, we agreed to guarantee the completion of the construction improvements including tenant improvements, as defined in the agreement, in the event of any default of the borrower. The borrower has completed various of the improvements subject to this completion guaranty. If the borrower fails to complete the remaining required work, the guarantor agrees to perform timely all of the completion obligations, as defined in the agreement. Subsequent to June 30, 2015, we paid down the outstanding loan balance by $19.6 million. As of the date of this filing, there has been no event of default associated with this loan.

The loan initially bore interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 3.50%. On March 16, 2011, we purchased an interest rate cap in order to cap one-month LIBOR at 3.715% on $50.0 million of the loan through its maturity on February 11, 2016.

We designated each of these interest rate cap contracts as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes.

Effective August 22, 2013, the terms of this loan were amended to, among other changes, increase the outstanding balance from $92.0 million to $97.0 million, reduce the interest to a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 2.25%, and extend the maturity date from February 11, 2016 to February 11, 2018.

The share-based awards are generally issued in the second quarter, and the individual share awards vest in equal annual installments over the applicable service vesting period, which is three years.

In addition, the Board of Directors awards restricted shares to certain employees on an annual basis as part of the employees’ annual compensation.

Under each OPP, participants will be entitled to share in a performance pool with a value, subject to the applicable dollar-denominated cap described above, equal to the sum of: (i) 4% of the amount by which our TSR during the applicable performance period exceeds 9% simple annual TSR (the “absolute TSR component”), plus (ii) 4% of the amount by which our TSR during the applicable performance period exceeds that of the SNL Equity REIT Index (determined on a percentage basis that is then multiplied by the sum of (A) our market capitalization on that date, plus (B) the aggregate per share dividend over the applicable performance period through such date) (the “relative TSR component”), except that the relative TSR component will be reduced on a linear basis from 100% to zero percent for absolute TSR ranging from 7% to zero percent simple annual TSR over the applicable performance period. In addition, the relative TSR component may be a negative value equal to 4% of the amount by which we underperform the SNL Equity REIT Index by more than 3% per year during the applicable performance period (if any).

With respect to the 2013 OPP, if we attain pro-rated TSR performance goals during 2013 and/or 2014 that yield hypothetical bonus pools of up to $2 million for 2013 performance and/or up to $4 million for combined 2013/2014 performance, stock awards issued under the final bonus pool at the end of the applicable performance period will cover a number of shares in the aggregate at least equal to the number of shares that would have been subject to stock awards issued at the end of 2013 or 2014 (whichever is greater) based on our TSR performance and common stock price for such prior years (subject to reduction to comply with the $11 million bonus pool limitation).

At the end of the applicable three-year performance period, participants who remain employed with us will be paid their percentage interest in the bonus pool as stock awards based on the value of our common stock at the end of the performance period. Half of each such participant’s bonus pool interest will be paid in fully vested shares of our common stock and the other half will be paid in RSUs that vest in equal annual installments over the two years immediately following the applicable performance period (based on continued employment) and which carry tandem dividend equivalent rights. However, if the applicable performance period is terminated in connection with a change in control, OPP awards will be paid entirely in fully vested shares of our common stock immediately prior to the change in control. In addition to these share/RSU payments, each OPP award entitles its holder to a cash payment equal to the aggregate dividends that would have been paid during the applicable performance period on the total

(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share data)



number of shares and RSUs ultimately issued or granted in respect of such OPP award, had such shares and RSUs been outstanding throughout the performance period.

If a participant’s employment is terminated without “cause,” for “good reason” or due to the participant’s death or disability during the applicable performance period (referred to as qualifying terminations), the participant will be paid his or her OPP award at the end of the performance period entirely in fully vested shares (except for the performance period dividend equivalent, which will be paid in cash at the end of the performance period). Any such payment will be pro-rated in the case of a termination without “cause” or for “good reason” by reference to the participant’s period of employment during the applicable performance period. If we experience a change in control or a participant experiences a qualifying termination of employment, in either case, after the end of the applicable performance period, any unvested RSUs that remain outstanding will accelerate and vest in full upon such event.

With respect to the 2012 OPP, we attained the maximum $10.0 million bonus pool. Only 75% of the participation interests remained outstanding at the end of the 2012 OPP performance period; therefore we granted 125,477 shares of common stock and 125,475 RSUs with respect to the outstanding participation interests.

The cost of the 2012 OPP, 2013 OPP, the 2014 OPP and the 2015 OPP (approximately $2.62 million, $3.52 million, $3.21 million and $3.98 million, respectively, subject to a forfeiture adjustment equal to 6%, 6% , 10% and 6%, respectively, of the total cost) will be amortized through the final vesting period under a graded vesting expense recognition schedule.

The 2012 OPP, 2013 OPP, 2014 OPP and 2015 OPP were valued, in accordance with ASC 718, at an aggregate of approximately $3.49 million, $4.14 million, $3.21 million and $4.27 million, respectively, utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the probability of the performance vesting conditions being satisfied. The Monte Carlo simulation used a statistical formula underlying the Black-Scholes and binomial formulas and such simulation was run 100,000 times. For each simulation, the payoff is calculated at the settlement date, which is then discounted to the award date at a risk-free interest rate. The average of the values over all simulations is the expected value of the unit on the award date. Assumptions used in the valuations included (1) factors associated with the underlying performance of the Company’s stock price and total shareholder return over the term of the performance awards including total stock return volatility and risk-free interest and (2) factors associated with the relative performance of the Company’s stock price and total shareholder return when compared to the SNL Equity REIT Index. The valuation was performed in a risk-neutral framework, so no assumption was made with respect to an equity risk premium. The fair value of the OPP awards is based on the sum of: (1) the present value of the expected payoff to the awards on the measurement date, if the TSR over the applicable measurement period exceeds performance hurdles of the absolute and the relative TSR components; and (2) the present value of the distributions payable on the awards. The ultimate reward realized on account of the OPP awards by the holders of the awards is contingent on the TSR achieved on the measurement date, both in absolute terms and relative to the TSR of the SNL Equity REIT Index. The per unit fair value of each 2012 OPP award, 2013 OPP award, 2014 OPP award and 2015 OPP award was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions in the Monte Carlo valuation: expected price volatility for the Company and the SNL Equity REIT index of 36% and 35%, 33% and 25%, and 28% and 26% and 22% and 22%, respectively; a risk-free rate of 0.40%, 0.38%, 0.77% and 1.13%, respectively; and total dividend payments over the measurement period of $1.62, $1.50, $1.50 and $1.50 , respectively, per share.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, $4.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense for all stock compensation was recognized as additional paid-in capital, of which $4.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively, was included in general and administrative expenses, with the remaining $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of stock compensation capitalized to tenant improvement and deferred leasing costs and lease intangibles, net.

The Stockholders Agreement

On April 1, 2015, in connection with the closing of the acquisition as described below, the Company entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) by and among the Company, the Operating Partnership, Blackstone Real Estate Advisors L.P. (“BREA”) and the other affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P. (the “Sponsor Stockholders”). The Stockholders Agreement sets forth various arrangements and restrictions with respect to the governance of the Company and certain rights of the Sponsor Stockholders with respect to the shares of common stock of the Company and common units of in the Operating Partnership received by the Sponsor Stockholders in connection with the Acquisition (the “Equity Consideration”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has expanded from eight to eleven directors, and three director nominees designated by the Sponsor Stockholders to the Board have been elected. Subject to certain exceptions, the Board will continue to include the Sponsor Stockholders’ designees in its slate of nominees, and will continue to recommend such nominees, and will otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to solicit the vote of the Company’s stockholders to elect to the Board the slate of nominees which includes those designated by the Sponsor Stockholders. The Sponsor Stockholders will have the right to designate three nominees for so long as the Sponsor Stockholders continue to beneficially own, in the aggregate, greater than 50% of the Equity Consideration. If the Sponsor Stockholders’ beneficial ownership of the Equity Consideration decreases, then the number of director nominees that the Sponsor Stockholders will have the right to designate will be reduced (i) to two, if the Sponsor Stockholders beneficially own greater than or equal to 30% but less than or equal to 50% of the Equity Consideration and (ii) to one, if the Sponsor Stockholders beneficially own greater than or equal to 15% but less than 30% of the Equity Consideration. The Board nomination rights of the Sponsor Stockholders will terminate at such time as the Sponsor Stockholders beneficially own less than 15% of the Equity Consideration or upon written notice of waiver or termination of such rights by the Sponsor Stockholders. So long as the Sponsor Stockholders retain the right to designate at least one nominee to the Board, the Company will not be permitted to increase the total number of directors comprising the Board to more than twelve persons without the prior written consent of the Sponsor Stockholders.

For so long as the Sponsor Stockholders have the right to designate at least two director nominees, subject to the satisfaction of applicable NYSE independence requirements, the Sponsor Stockholders will also be entitled to appoint one such nominee then serving on the Board to serve on each committee of the Board (other than certain specified committees).

The Stockholders Agreement also includes: (i) standstill provisions, which require that, until such time as the Sponsor Stockholders beneficially own shares of common stock representing less than 10% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a fully-diluted basis, the Sponsor Stockholders and BREA are restricted from, among other things, acquiring additional equity or debt securities (other than non-recourse debt and certain other debt) of the Company and its subsidiaries without the Company’s prior written consent; and (ii) transfer restriction provisions, which restrict the Sponsor Stockholders from transferring any of the Equity Consideration (including shares of common stock issued to the Sponsor Stockholders in exchange of common units pursuant to the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement) (collectively, the “Covered Securities”) until November 1, 2015 (other than pursuant to certain specified exceptions), at which time such transfer restrictions will cease to be applicable to 50% of the Covered Securities. The transfer restrictions applicable to the remaining 50% of the Covered Securities will cease to be applicable on March 1, 2016 (or, if earlier, 30 days following written notice of waiver or termination by the Sponsor Stockholders of their board nomination rights described above). If, prior to November 1, 2015, the Sponsor Stockholders provide written notice waiving and terminating their director nomination rights described above, the transfer restrictions applicable to all the Covered Securities will cease to be applicable on November 1, 2015 and, if such written notice of waiver and termination is provided after November 1, 2015, then the transfer restrictions will cease to be applicable as of the earlier of March 1, 2016 and 30 days following the Issuer’s receipt of such written notice.

In addition, pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, until April 1, 2017, the Company is required to obtain the prior written consent of the Sponsor Stockholders prior to the issuance of common equity securities by it or any of its subsidiaries other than up to an aggregate of 16,843,028 shares of common stock (and certain other exceptions).

Further, until such time as the Sponsor Stockholders beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 15% of the Equity Consideration, each Sponsor Stockholder will cause all common stock held by it to be voted by proxy (i) in favor of all persons nominated to serve as directors of the Company by the Board (or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee thereof) in any slate of nominees which includes the Sponsor Stockholders’ nominees and (ii) otherwise in accordance with the recommendation of the Board (to the extent the recommendation is not inconsistent with the rights of the Sponsor Stockholders under the Stockholders Agreement) with respect to any other action, proposal or other matter to be voted upon by the Company’s stockholders, other than in connection with (A) any proposed transaction relating to a change of control of the Company, (B) any amendments to the Company’s charter or bylaws, (C) any other transaction that the Company submits to a vote of its stockholders pursuant to Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual or (D) any other transaction that the Company submits to a vote of its stockholders for approval.

As required by the Stockholders Agreement, the Company has agreed that the Sponsor Stockholders and certain of their affiliates may engage in investments, strategic relationships or other business relationships with entities engaged in other business, including those that compete with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and will have no obligation to present any particular investment or business opportunity to the Company, even if the opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Company, could be undertaken by the Company. As required by the Stockholders Agreement, to the maximum extent permitted under Maryland law, the Company has renounced any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any such investment, opportunity or activity presented to or developed by the Sponsor Stockholders, their nominees for election as directors and certain of their affiliates, other than any opportunity expressly offered to a director nominated at the direction of the Sponsor Stockholders in his or her capacity as a director of the Company.

Further, without the prior written consent of the Sponsor Stockholders, the Company may not amend certain provisions of its Bylaws relating to the ability of its directors and officers to engage in other business or to adopt qualification for directors other than those in effect as of the date of the Stockholders Agreement or as are generally applicable to all directors, respectively.

The Stockholders Agreement also includes certain provisions that, together, are intended to enhance the liquidity of common units to be held by the Sponsor Stockholders.

Redemption Rights of Sponsor Stockholders

Under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, the Company (in its capacity as the general partner of the Operating Partnership) has waived the 14-month holding period set forth in the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement (as defined below) before the Sponsor Stockholders may require the Operating Partnership to redeem the common units and grants certain additional rights to the Sponsor Stockholders in connection with such redemptions. Among other things, the Company generally must give the Sponsor Stockholder notice before 9:30 a.m. Eastern time on the business day after the business day on which a Sponsor Stockholder gives the Company notice of redemption of any common units of the Company’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (A) cause the Operating Partnership to redeem all of the tendered common units in exchange for a cash amount per common units equal to the value of one share of common stock on the date that the Sponsor Stockholder provided

39
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share data)



its notice of redemption, calculated in accordance with and subject to adjustment as provided in the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement, or (B) subject to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company’s stock set forth in its charter, acquire all of the tendered common units from the Sponsor Stockholder in exchange for shares of common stock, based on an exchange ratio of one share of common stock for each OP Unit, subject to adjustment as provided in the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement. If the Company fails to timely provide such notice, the Company will be deemed to have elected to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem all such tendered common units in exchange for shares of common stock.

The Company may also elect to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem all common units tendered by a Sponsor Stockholder with the proceeds of a public or private offering of common stock under certain circumstances as discussed more fully below.

Restrictions on Transfer of Common Units by Sponsor Stockholders

Under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, the Company (in its capacity as the general partner of the Operating Partnership) has waived the 14-month holding period set forth in the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement before the Sponsor Stockholders may transfer any common units, and has agreed to admit any permitted transferee of a Sponsor Stockholder as a substituted limited partner of the Operating Partnership upon the satisfaction of certain conditions described in the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement. Nevertheless, the Covered Securities are subject to the transfer restrictions described above.

Amendments to the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement

The Stockholders Agreement prohibits the Company, without the prior written consent of the Sponsor Stockholders, from amending certain provisions of the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement in a manner adverse in any respect to the Sponsor Stockholders (in their capacity as limited partners of the Operating Partnership), or to add any new provision to the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement that would have a substantially identical effect or from taking any action that is intended to or otherwise would have a substantially identical effect.

Ownership Limits

In connection with the issuance of the Equity Consideration, the Board has granted to the Sponsor Stockholders and certain of their affiliates a limited exception to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of common stock set forth in the Company’s charter (the “Charter”) that will allow the Sponsor Stockholders and such affiliates to own, directly, or indirectly, in the aggregate, up to 17,707,056 shares of common stock (the “Excepted Holder Limit”). The grant of this exception is conditioned upon the receipt of various representations and covenants set forth in the Sponsor Stockholders’ request delivered on April 1, 2015, confirming, among other things, that neither the Sponsor Stockholders nor certain of their affiliates may own, directly or indirectly, (i) more than 9.9% of the interests in a tenant of the Company (other than a tenant of the 1455 Market Street office property) or (ii) more than 5.45% of the interests in a tenant of the 1455 Market Street office property, in each case subject to certain exceptions that may reduce such ownership percentage, but not below 2% The request also includes representations intended to confirm that the Sponsor Stockholders’ and certain of their affiliates’ ownership of common stock will not cause the Company to otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT.

The Board will provide the exception to the Sponsor Stockholders and certain of their affiliates until (i) any such Sponsor Stockholder or affiliate violates any of the representations or covenants in the Sponsor Stockholders’ request or (ii) (a) any such Sponsor Stockholder or affiliate owns, directly or indirectly, more than the applicable ownership percentage (as described above) of the interests in any tenant(s) and (b) the maximum rental income expected to be produced by such tenant(s) exceeds (x) 0.5% of the Company’s gross income (in the case of tenants other than tenants of the 1455 Market Street office property) or (y) 0.5% of the 1455 Market Street Joint Venture’s gross income (in the case of tenants of the 1455 Market Street office property) for any taxable year (the “Rent Threshold”), at which time the number of shares of common stock that the Sponsor Stockholders and certain of their affiliates may directly or indirectly own will be reduced to the number of shares of common stock which would result in the amount of rent from such tenant(s) (that would be treated as related party rents under certain tax rules) representing no more than the Rent Threshold.

In addition, due to the Sponsor Stockholders’ ownership of common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and the application of certain constructive ownership rules, the Operating Partnership will be considered to own the common stock that is directly or indirectly owned by the Sponsor Stockholders and certain of their affiliates. For this reason, the Board has also granted the Operating Partnership an exception to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of common stock set

forth in the Charter.

The Registration Rights Agreement

On April 1, 2015, in connection with the closing of the Acquisition, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated April 1, 2015 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) by and among the Company and the Sponsor Stockholders. The Registration Rights Agreement provides for customary registration rights with respect to the Equity Consideration, including the following:

•
Shelf Registration. The Company will prepare and file not later than August 1, 2015 a resale shelf registration statement covering the Sponsor Stockholders’ shares of common stock received as part of the Equity Consideration as well as shares issuable upon redemption of common units received as part of the Equity Consideration, and the Company is required to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such resale shelf registration statement to become effective prior to the termination of the transfer restrictions under the Stockholders Agreement (as described above).

•
Demand Registrations. Beginning November 1, 2015 (or earlier if transfer restrictions under the Stockholders Agreement are terminated earlier), the Sponsor Stockholders may cause the Company to register their shares if the foregoing resale shelf registration statement is not effective or if the Company is not eligible to file a shelf registration statement.

•
 Qualified Offerings. Any registered offerings requested by the Sponsor Stockholders that are to an underwriter on a firm commitment basis for reoffering and resale to the public, in an offering that is a “bought deal” with one or more investment banks or in a block trade with a broker-dealer will be (subject to certain specified exceptions): (i) no more frequent than once in any 120-day period, (ii) subject to underwriter lock-ups from prior offerings then in effect, and (iii) subject to a minimum offering size of $50 million.
 
•
 Piggy-Back Rights. Beginning November 1, 2015 (or earlier if transfer restrictions under the Stockholders Agreement are terminated earlier), the Sponsor Stockholders will be permitted to, among other things, participate in offerings for the Company’s account or the account of any other securityholder of the Company (other than in certain specified cases). If underwriters advise that the success of a proposed offering would be significantly and adversely affected by the inclusion of all securities in an offering initiated by the Company for the Company’s own account, then the securities proposed to be included by the Sponsor Stockholders together with other stockholders exercising similar piggy-back rights are cut back first.

 
Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement

On April 1, 2015, in connection with the closing of the Acquisition, the Company, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, entered into the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership dated April 1, 2015 (the “Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement”) along with the Sponsor Stockholders and the other limited partners of the Operating Partnership. The principal changes to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended and as in effect immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition, made by the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement were to add the provisions described below.

Restrictions on Mergers, Sales, Transfers and Other Significant Transactions of the Company

Prior to the date on which the Sponsor Stockholders and any of their affiliates own less than 9.8% of the Equity Consideration, the Company may not consummate any of (a) a merger, consolidation or other combination of the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s assets with another person, (b) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Operating Partnership, (c) sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets not in the ordinary course of the Operating Partnership’s business or (d) a reclassification, recapitalization or change in the Company’s outstanding equity securities (other than in connection with a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, change in par value, increase in authorized shares, designation or issuance of new classes of equity securities or any event that does not require the approval of the Company’s stockholders), in each case, which is submitted to the holders of common stock for approval, unless such transaction is also approved by the partners of the Operating Partnership holding common units on a “pass through” basis, which, in effect, affords the limited partners of the Operating Partnership that hold common units the right to vote on such transaction as though such limited partners held the number of shares of common stock into which their common units were then exchangeable and voted together with the holders of the Company’s outstanding common stock with respect to such transaction.

Stock Offering Funding of Redemption

If any Sponsor Stockholder or any of its affiliates who become limited partners of the Operating Partnership (“Specified Limited Partners”) delivers a notice of redemption with respect to common units that, if exchanged for common stock, would result in a violation of the Excepted Holder Limit (as defined below) or otherwise violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company’s stock set forth in its charter and that have an aggregate value in excess of $50 million as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, then, if the Company is then eligible to register the offering of its securities on Form S-3 (or any successor form similar thereto), the Company may elect to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem such common units with the net proceeds from a public or private offering of the number of shares of common stock that would be deliverable in exchange for such common units but for the application of the Excepted Holder Limit and other restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company’s stock. If the Company elects to fund the redemption of any common units with such an offering, it will allow all Specified Limited Partners the opportunity to include additional common units held by such Specified Limited Partners in such redemption.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal

From time to time, the Company is party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings arising out of, or incident to, our ordinary course of business. Management believes, based in part upon consultation with legal counsel, that the ultimate resolution of all such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. As of June 30, 2015, the risk of material loss from such legal actions impacting the Company’s financial condition or results from operations has been assessed as remote.

Concentrations

As of June 30, 2015, the majority of the Company’s properties were located in California, which exposes the Company to greater economic risks than if it owned a more geographically dispersed portfolio. Further, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, approximately 8% and 16%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were derived from tenants in the media and entertainment industry, which makes the Company susceptible to demand for rental space in such industry. Consequently, the Company is subject to the risks associated with an investment in real estate with a concentration of tenants in that industry.

Repayment Guaranties

Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson Loan    

In connection with the loan secured by our Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson properties, we have guaranteed in favor of and promised to pay to the lender 19.5% of the principal payable under the loan in the event the borrower, a wholly-owned entity of our Operating Partnership, does not do so. At June 30, 2015, the outstanding balance was $97.0 million, which results in a maximum guarantee amount for the principal under this loan of $18.9 million. Furthermore, we agreed to guarantee the completion of the construction improvements, including tenant improvements, as defined in the agreement, in the event of any default of the borrower. If the borrower fails to complete the remaining required work, the guarantor agrees to perform timely all of the completion obligations, as defined in the agreement. As of the date of this filing, there has been no event of default associated with this loan.

Element LA Loan

In connection with our Element LA construction loan, we have guaranteed in favor of and promised to pay to the lender 25.0% of the principal, together with all interest and any other sum payable under the loan in the event the borrower, a wholly-owned entity of our Operating Partnership, does not do so. At June 30, 2015, the outstanding balance was $82.6 million, which results in a maximum guarantee amount for the principal under this loan of $20.7 million. Upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, as defined in the repayment guaranty agreement, our liability with respect to the principal under this loan will be reduced to zero, unless certain further events, described in the guarantee occur, in which case our maximum liability as guarantor will be restored to 25.0% of the principal under the loan. Furthermore, we agreed to guarantee the completion of the construction improvements, including tenant improvements, as defined in the agreement, in the event of any default of the borrower. If the borrower fails to complete the remaining required work, the guarantor agrees to perform timely all of the completion obligations, as defined in the agreement. As of the date of this filing, there has been no event of default associated with this loan.

901 Market Loan

In connection with our 901 Market Street loan, we have guaranteed in favor of and promised to pay to the lender 35.0% of the principal under the loan in the event the borrower, a wholly-owned entity of our Operating Partnership, does not do so.

The borrower has completed various of the improvements subject to this completion guaranty. If the borrower fails to complete the remaining required work, the guarantor agrees to perform timely all of the completion obligations, as defined in the agreement. Subsequent to June 30, 2015, we paid down the outstanding loan balance by $19.6 million. As of the date of this filing, there has been no event of default associated with this loan.

Although the rest of our loans are secured and non-recourse to the Company and the Operating Partnership, the Operating Partnership provides limited customary secured debt guarantees for items such as voluntary bankruptcy, fraud, misapplication of payments and environmental liabilities.

Letters of Credit

As of June 30, 2015, the Company has outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $3.3 million under the unsecured revolving credit facility. The letters of credit are primarily related to utility company security deposit requirements.

12. Subsequent Events

Bay Park Plaza Sale

Subsequent to June 30, 2015 we entered into an agreement to sell Bay Park Plaza for approximately $90.0 million (before certain credits, prorations and closing costs), which we expect to close prior to the end of the third quarter.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements
We make statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act). In particular, statements pertaining to our liquidity and capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. We are including this cautionary statement to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any such forward-looking statements. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “result” and similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected.
Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, liquidity or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:
•
adverse economic or real estate developments in our target markets;
•
general economic conditions;
•
defaults on, early terminations of or non-renewal of leases by tenants;
•
fluctuations in interest rates and increased operating costs;
•
our failure to obtain necessary outside financing or maintain an investment grade rating;
•
our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness and maintain dividend payments;
•
lack or insufficient amounts of insurance;
•
decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates;
•
difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions;
•
our failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations;
•
our failure to maintain our status as a REIT;
•
environmental uncertainties and risks related to adverse weather conditions and natural disasters;
•
financial market fluctuations;
•
risks related to acquisitions generally, including the disruption of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and the impact on customers, tenants, lenders, operating results and business;
•
the inability to successfully integrate acquired properties, realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or capitalize on value creation opportunities;
•
changes in real estate and zoning laws, and increases in real property tax rates; and
•
other factors affecting the real estate industry generally.
We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which were based on results and trends at the time they were made, to anticipate future results or trends. Additional information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties is contained in our other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

All amounts and percentages used in this discussion of our results of operations are calculated using the numbers presented in the financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report rather than the rounded numbers appearing in this discussion.

Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2015 to the three months ended June 30, 2014
    
Net Operating Income

We evaluate performance based upon property net operating income (“NOI”) from continuing operations. NOI is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to income from continuing operations or cash flows, as an indication of our performance or of our ability to make distributions, or as a measure of our liquidity. Companies may not calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be a useful performance measure to investors and management because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating our properties, and the impact to operations from trends on occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, thus providing a perspective not immediately apparent from income from continuing operations. We define NOI as operating revenues (including rental revenues, other property-related revenue, tenant recoveries and other operating revenues), less property-level operating expenses (which includes external management fees, if any, and property-level general and administrative expenses). NOI excludes corporate general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairments, gain/loss on sale of real estate, interest expense, acquisition-related expenses and other non-operating items. We believe that NOI on a cash basis (which we define as NOI on a GAAP basis, adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments required by GAAP) is helpful to investors as an additional measure of operating performance.

Management further evaluates NOI by evaluating the performance from the following property groups:

•
Same-store properties, which include all of the properties owned and included in our stabilized portfolio as of January 1, 2014 and still owned and included in the stabilized portfolio as of June 30, 2015;

•
Non-same store properties, development projects, redevelopment properties, and lease-up properties as of June 30, 2015 and other properties not owned or in operation from January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the non-same-store properties include the activity from the acquisition of the Blackstone portfolio on April 1, 2015.

Total NOI increased $62.3 million, or 165.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to:

•
A $(1.6) million, or (5.1)%, decrease in NOI from our same-store office properties resulting primarily from a one-time lease termination fee at our 625 Second Street (Fox Interactive) property during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and a one-time GAAP straight line rent write-off at our Howard Street (Heald College) property during the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was partially offset by the lease-up of our 1455 Market (Uber and Square) and Rincon Center (Sales Force) properties.

•
A $64.1 million, or 1,735.4%, increase in NOI from our non-same office store properties resulting primarily from the EOP Northern California portfolio acquisition on April 1, 2015. The remaining increase is as a result of lease-up of our Element LA (Riot Games), 901 Market (Nordstrom Rack, Saks and Company, Nerdwallet), 3401 Exposition (Deluxe Entertainment Services) properties and income from our purchase of the Broadway property note receivable. This increase was partially offset by the sale of our First Financial property on March 5, 2015 and Tierrasanta property on July 16, 2014.

•
A $(0.2) million, or (5.7)%, decrease in NOI from our same-store media and entertainment properties resulting primarily from the higher rental revenue generated by strong occupancy and heightened production activity at the Sunset Gower property, partially offset by Company’s decision to take certain buildings and stages off-line to facilitate our ICON development and other longer-term plans for the Sunset Bronson property.

Same-Store Office NOI

Office rental revenue increased $0.5 million, or 1.6%, to $35.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $34.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is primarily due to rental income relating to new leases signed at our 1455 Market (Uber and Square) and Rincon Center (Sales Force) properties at higher rents than expiring leases, partially offset by a one-time GAAP straight line rent write-off at our Howard Street (Heald College).

Office tenant recoveries increased $1.1 million, or 19.0% to $6.7 million for three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is primarily due to an increase in real estate tax expense as a result of a reassessment of our 1455 Market and Rincon properties in the third quarter of 2014.

Office parking and other revenue decreased by $(2.2) million, or (34.2)%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease is primarily due to a termination fee at our 625 Second Street (Fox interactive) property recognized in 2014.

Office operating expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 6.0%, to $17.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $16.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is primarily due to an increase in property taxes at our 1455 Market and Rincon Properties.

Same-Store Media & Entertainment NOI

Media and entertainment, rental revenue, tenant recoveries and other property-related revenue decreased by $(1.0) million, or (10.4)%, to $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease is the result of our decision to take certain buildings and stages off-line to facilitate its ICON development and other longer-term plans for the Sunset Bronson property, partially offset by the heightened production activity at the Sunset Gower property.
 
Media and entertainment operating expenses decreased by $(0.8) million or (13.2)% to $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $5.8 million the three months ended June 30, 2014. We incurred additional lighting expense in connection with the heightened production activity at the Sunset Gower property partially offset by our decision to take certain buildings and stages off-line to facilitate its ICON development and other longer-term plans for the Sunset Bronson property.

Other Expenses Income

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expense include wages and salaries for corporate-level employees, accounting, legal and other professional services, office supplies, entertainment, travel, and automobile expenses, telecommunications and computer-related expenses, and other miscellaneous items. General and administrative expenses increased $3.8 million, or 57.7%, to $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the adoption of the 2015 Outperformance Program and increased staffing to meet operational needs stemming from growth related to the EOP Northern California portfolio acquisition which was completed on April 1, 2015.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $55.6 million, or 310.1%, to $73.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $17.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily related to depreciation expenses associated with the acquisition of the EOP Northern California portfolio on April 1, 2015. The remaining increase is a result of a write-off of assets associated with the early termination of a tenant at our Howard street property, lease-up of our Element LA, 1455 Market, 901 Market Street and 3401 Exposition properties, partially offset by the reduction of depreciation expense as a result of the sale of our First Financial property on March 5, 2015 and Tierrasanta property on July 16, 2014.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $7.7 million, or 119.0%, to $14.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2015, we had $2.1 billion of notes payable, compared to $852.5 million at June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to $1.3 billion of term loan borrowings as a result of the EOP Northern California portfolio acquisition, partially offset by interest savings related to our repayment of indebtedness associated with our 6922 Hollywood, 275 Brannan and First and King properties and repayment of debt associated with the sale of our First Financial property on March 5, 2015.
    
Acquisition-Related Expenses

Acquisition-related expenses increased by $37.5 million, or 100% to $37.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $0.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of acquisition costs related to the EOP Northern California portfolio acquisition.

(Loss) / gain on sale of real estate

On March 3, 2015, we completed the sale of our First Financial property for $89.0 million (before certain credits, prorations, and closing costs). We updated the gain on sale calculation which resulted with a reduction of $(0.6) million to the gain recognized in the previous quarter. There was no comparable activity in the same period a year ago.

Total NOI increased $68.4 million, or 95.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to:

•
A $1.4 million, or 2.4%, increase in NOI from our same-store office properties resulting primarily by the lease-up of our 1455 Market property (Uber and Square) and Rincon Center property (Sales Force). The increase was partially offset by a one-time lease termination fee at our 625 Second Street property (Fox Interactive) and our 222 Kearny property (The Children’s place), during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and a one time GAAP straight line rent write-off at our Howard Street property (Heald College) during the six months ended June 30, 2015.


53


•
A $66.8 million, or 1,007.4%, increase in NOI from our non-same store office properties resulting primarily from the EOP Northern California portfolio acquisition on April 1, 2015. The remaining increase is as a result of lease-up of our Element LA (Riot Games), 901 Market (Nordstrom Rack, Saks and Company, Nerdwallet), 3401 Exposition (Deluxe Entertainment Services) properties and income from our purchase of the Broadway property note receivable. This increase was partially offset by the sale of our First Financial property on March 5, 2015 and the sale of our Tierrasanta property on July 16, 2014.

•
A $0.2 million, or 2.3%, increase in NOI from our same-store media and entertainment properties resulting primarily from the higher rental revenue generated by strong occupancy and heightened production activity at the Sunset Gower property, partially offset by Company’s decision to take certain buildings and stages off-line to facilitate our ICON development and other longer-term plans for the Sunset Bronson property.

Same-Store Office NOI

Office rental revenue increased $4.6 million, or 6.9%, to $71.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $66.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is primarily due to rental income relating to new leases signed at our 1455 Market (Uber and Square) and Rincon Center (Sales Force) properties at higher rents than expiring leases, partially offset by a one time GAAP straight line rent write-off at our Howard Street property (Heald College).

Office tenant recoveries increased $1.2 million, or 11.4% to $12.0 million for six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $10.8 million the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is primarily due to an increase in real estate tax expense as a result of a reassessment of our 1455 Market and Rincon properties in the third quarter of 2014.

Office parking and other revenue decreased by $(2.3) million, or (21.5)%, to $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $10.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease is primarily due to a termination fee at our 625 Second Street (Fox interactive) and our 222 Kearny (The Children’s place) properties recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Office operating expenses increased by $2.2 million, or 7.3%, to $32.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $30.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase is primarily due to an increase in property taxes at our 1455 Market and Rincon Center properties.

Same-Store Media & Entertainment NOI

Media and entertainment, rental revenue, tenant recoveries and other property-related revenue decreased by $(0.6) million, or (3.2)%, to $18.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $18.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease is the result of our decision to take certain buildings and stages off-line to facilitate the ICON development and other longer-term plans for the Sunset Bronson property, partially offset by the heightened production activity at the Sunset Gower property.
 
Media and entertainment operating expenses decreased by $(0.8) million or (6.5)% to $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $11.8 million the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease is result of our decision to take certain buildings and stages off-line to facilitate the ICON development and other longer-term plans for the Sunset Bronson property partially offset by additional lighting expense in connection with the heightened production activity at the Sunset Gower property.

Other Expenses Income

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expense include wages and salaries for corporate-level employees, accounting, legal and other professional services, office supplies, entertainment, travel, and automobile expenses, telecommunications and computer-related expenses, and other miscellaneous items. General and administrative expenses increased $7.2 million, or 58.4%, to $19.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the adoption of the 2015 Outperformance Program and increased staffing to meet operational needs stemming from growth related to the EOP Northern California portfolio acquisition, which was completed on April 1, 2015.


54


Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $56.1 million, or 162.2%, to $90.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $34.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily related to depreciation expenses associated with the acquisition of the EOP Northern California portfolio on April 1, 2015. The remaining increase is a result of a write-off of assesst associated with the early termination of a tenant at our Howard street property, lease-up of our Element LA, 1455 Market, 901 Market Street and 3401 Exposition properties, partially offset by the reduction of depreciation expense as a result of the sale of our First Financial property on March 5, 2015 and sale of our Tierrasanta property on July 16, 2014.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $6.6 million, or 51.2%, to $19.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $13.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2015, we had $2.1 billion of notes payable, compared to $852.5 million at June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to $1.3 billion of term loan borrowings as a result of the EOP Northern California portfolio acquisition, partially offset by interest savings related to our repayment of indebtedness associated with our 6922 Hollywood, 275 Brannan and First and King properties and repayment of debt associated with the sale of our First Financial property on March 5, 2015.
    
Acquisition-Related Expenses

Acquisition-related expenses increased by $43.4 million, or 41,352.4% to $43.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as a result of acquisition costs related to the EOP Northern California portfolio acquisition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had approximately $40.3 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2015.

On January 20, 2015, we closed the public offering of 12,650,000 shares of our common stock for net proceeds of approximately $385.6 million. We used $130.0 million of the net proceeds to fully pay down the $130.0 million then outstanding balance on our unsecured revolving credit facility.

In addition, the lead arrangers for our unsecured revolving credit facility have secured commitments that will allow borrowings of up to $400.0 million to the extent our unencumbered pool properties support such borrowings. As of June 30, 2015, $45.0 million had been drawn under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

We also have an at-the-market equity offering program, or ATM program, that allows us to sell up to $125.0 million of shares of our common stock, $14.5 million of which has been sold as of June 30, 2015.
We intend to use the unsecured revolving credit facility and ATM program, among other things, to finance the acquisition of other properties, to provide funds for tenant improvements and capital expenditures, and for working capital and other corporate purposes.
As of June 30, 2015, based on the closing price of our common stock of $28.37 on June 30, 2015, our ratio of debt to total market capitalization was approximately 33.2% (counting series A preferred units as debt). Our total market capitalization is defined as the sum of the market value of our outstanding common stock (which may decrease, thereby increasing our debt to total capitalization ratio), including restricted stock that we may issue to certain of our directors and executive officers, plus the aggregate value of common units not owned by us, plus the liquidation preference of outstanding series A preferred units and series B preferred stock, plus the book value of our total consolidated indebtedness.
Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, distributions to our limited partners and dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT status, capital expenditures and, potentially, acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through cash on hand, net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash and, if necessary, by drawing upon our unsecured revolving credit facility.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the repayment of debt at maturity, property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements using our unsecured credit facility pending permanent financing.
We believe we have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements, including the incurrence of additional debt and the issuance of additional equity. However, our ability to incur additional debt will be dependent on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders. Our ability to access the equity capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions about us.

Indebtedness

Our indebtedness creates the possibility that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay the principal of, interest on or other amounts in respect of our indebtedness and other obligations. In addition, we may incur additional debt from time to time to finance strategic acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or for other purposes, subject to the restrictions contained in the documents governing our indebtedness. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our leverage, including our ability to service our debt, would increase.

As of June 30, 2015, we had outstanding notes payable of $2.12 billion (before loan premium), of which $1.77 billion, or 83.6%, was variable rate debt. $806.5 million of such variable rate debt is subject to the interest rate contracts described in footnotes 2, 3, 9 and 10 in the table below.

Senior Unsecured Credit Facilities

On April 1, 2015, the Operating Partnership funded the facilities entered into pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 31, 2015 (the “A&R Credit Agreement”). The A&R Credit Agreement amended and restated the Operating Partnership’s existing $300.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and $150 million unsecured term loan facility entered into on September 23, 2014 to, among other things, extend the term, increase the unsecured revolving credit facility to $400.0 million, increase the unsecured 5-year term loan facility to $550.0 million (the “5-Year Term Loan Facility” and, together with the unsecured revolving credit facility, the “Existing Facilities”), and add a $350.0 million unsecured 7-year term loan facility (the “7-Year Term Loan Facility”, and, together with the Existing Facilities, the “A&R Credit Facilities”), which A&R Credit Facilities will be used: (a) for the payment of pre- development and development costs incurred in connection with properties owned by the Operating Partnership or any subsidiary; (b) to finance acquisitions otherwise permitted under the A&R Credit Agreement (including the EOP Northern California portfolio acquisition); (c) to finance capital expenditures and the repayment of indebtedness of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries; (d) to provide for the general working capital needs of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and for other general corporate purposes of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries; and (e) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the A&R Credit Agreement.

The Operating Partnership continues to be the borrower under the A&R Credit Agreement. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries that own unencumbered properties are required to provide guaranties unless the Company obtains and maintains a credit rating of at least BBB- from S&P or Baa3 from Moody’s, in which case such guaranties by its subsidiaries are not required, except under limited circumstances. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and lender commitments, the Operating Partnership may increase the availability of the A&R Credit Facilities so long as the aggregate commitments under the A&R Credit Facilities do not exceed $2.0 billion.

For borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility, the Operating Partnership may elect to pay interest at a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 115 basis points to 185 basis points per annum or a specified base rate plus 15 basis points to 85 basis points per annum, depending on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio. For borrowings under the 5-Year Term Loan Facility, the Operating Partnership may elect to pay interest at a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 130 basis points to 220 basis points per annum or a specified base rate plus 30 basis points to 120 basis points per annum, depending on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio. For borrowings under the 7-Year Term Loan Facility, the Operating Partnership may elect to pay interest at a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 160 basis points to 255 basis points per annum or a specified base rate plus 60 basis points to 155 basis points per annum, depending on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio. If the Company obtains a credit rating for the Company’s senior unsecured long term indebtedness, the Operating Partnership may make an irrevocable election to change the interest rate for the unsecured revolving credit facility to a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 87.5 basis points to 155 basis points per annum or the specified base rate plus zero basis points to 55 basis points per annum, for the 5-Year Term Loan Facility to a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 90 basis points to 185 basis points per annum or the specified base rate plus zero basis points to 85, and for the 7-Year Term Loan Facility to a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 140 basis points to 235 basis points per annum or the specified base rate plus 40 basis points to 135 basis points per annum, in each case, depending on the credit rating.

Effective as of May 1, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate contract with respect to $300.0 million of the $550.0 5-year Term Loan Facility that swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 1.36% through the loan’s maturity on April 1, 2020. As a result, $300.0 million of the 5-year Term Loan Facility currently bears interest at a rate equal to 2.66% to 3.56% per annum depending on our leverage ratio. Effective as of May 1, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate contract with respect to the entire $350.0 million 7-year Term Loan Facility that swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 1.61% through the loan’s maturity on April 1, 2022. As a result, this facility currently bears interest at a rate equal to 3.21% to 4.16% per annum depending on our leverage ratio.

The unsecured revolving credit facility is subject to a facility fee in an amount equal to the Operating Partnership’s revolving credit commitments (whether or not utilized) multiplied by a rate per annum equal to 20 basis points to 35 basis points, depending on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio, or, if the Operating Partnership makes the credit rating election, in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Operating Partnership’s revolving credit commitments (whether or not utilized) multiplied by a rate per annum equal to 12.5 basis points to 30 basis points, depending upon the credit rating. Unused amounts under the facility are not subject to a separate fee.

The amount available for us to borrow under the A&R Credit Agreement remains subject to compliance with a number of customary restrictive covenants contained therein, including:

•
a maximum leverage ratio (defined as consolidated total indebtedness plus the Operating Partnership's pro rata share of indebtedness of unconsolidated affiliates to total asset value) of 0.60:1.00; provided that such ratio may increase to 0.65 to 1.00 for up to two (2) consecutive calendar quarters immediately following a material acquisition not more than twice during the term of the A&R Credit Agreement;

•
a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (defined as the Operating Partnership’s adjusted EBITDA to its fixed charges) of 1.50:1.00;

•
a maximum secured indebtedness leverage ratio (defined as consolidated secured indebtedness plus the Operating Partnership’s pro rata share of secured indebtedness of unconsolidated affiliates to total asset value) of 0.55:1:00;

•
a minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio (defined as consolidated net operating income from unencumbered properties plus the Operating Partnership’s pro rata share of net operating income from unencumbered properties to unsecured interest expense) of 2.00:1.00; and

•
a maximum recourse debt ratio (defined as recourse indebtedness other than indebtedness under the revolving credit facility but including unsecured lines of credit to total asset value) of 0.15:1.00, provided that such test does not apply so long as the Company maintains an investment grade credit rating.

In addition to these covenants, the A&R Credit Agreement also includes certain limitations on dividend payouts and distributions, limits on certain types of investments outside of the Operating Partnership’s primary business, and other customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Operating Partnership’s ability to borrow under the A&R Credit Agreement is subject to continued compliance with these covenants.

The original revolving loan maturity date for the A&R Credit Agreement may be extended once, for an additional one year term. A fee equal to 0.15% of the aggregate outstanding revolving commitments at such time (whether or not utilized) must be paid to the administrative agent to exercise the right to extend.

If the Operating Partnership voluntarily prepays any of the borrowings under the 7-year term loan facility prior to the first anniversary of the closing of such facility, such prepayments are subject to a 2% prepayment premium on the principal amount of such loans that are prepaid. If the Operating Partnership voluntarily prepays any of the borrowings under the 7-year term loan facility on or after the first anniversary of the closing of such facility and prior to the second anniversary of the closing of such facility, such prepayments are subject to a 1% prepayment premium on the principal amount of such loans that are prepaid.

On April 1, 2015, the Operating Partnership entered into pursuant to a separate Term Loan Credit Agreement dated March 31, 2015 (the “New Credit Agreement”). The New Credit Agreement provides a $550.0 million unsecured 2-year term loan credit facility (the “2-Year Term Loan Facility”), which was fully drawn by us on the date of the New Credit Agreement to consummate the EOP Northern California portfolio acquisition, with the remaining funds used to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith and the New Credit Agreement. The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the New Credit Agreement and the Company and all of its subsidiaries that own unencumbered properties will provide guaranties unless the Company obtains and maintains a credit rating of at least BBB- from S&P or Baa3 from Moody’s, in which case such guaranties are not required, except under limited circumstances.

For borrowings under the 2-Year Term Loan Facility, the Operating Partnership may elect to pay interest at a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 130 basis points to 220 basis points per annum or a specified base rate plus 30 basis points to 120 basis points per annum, depending on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio. If the Company obtains a credit rating for its senior unsecured long term indebtedness, the Operating Partnership may make an irrevocable election to change the interest rate for

59


the 2-Year Term Loan Facility to a rate equal to either LIBOR plus 90 basis points to 185 basis points per annum or the specified base rate plus zero basis points to 85 basis points per annum, depending on the credit rating.

The term of the New Credit Agreement is two years, with one one-year extension option. If any undrawn commitments remain as of April 1, 2016, a fee equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate amount of the commitments (whether disbursed or undisbursed) is due and payable on April 1, 2016. If the Operating Partnership exercises the one-year extension option, it is required to pay to the administrative agent a fee equal to one and half percent (1.5%) of the aggregate outstanding commitments so extended (whether or not utilized).

Except as noted herein, the New Credit Agreement is on terms substantially similar to the terms and subject to the financial covenants provided in the A&R Credit Agreement, as applicable to the 5-Year Term Loan Facility thereunder.

Cash and cash equivalents were $40.3 million and $17.8 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $27.7 million to $63.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $35.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in cash NOI, as defined, from our office properties, primarily from the acquisition of the EOP Northern California portfolio, increased occupancy and higher rental revenue from our 1455 Market, Rincon Center, 901 Market Street and 3401 Exposition properties, partially offset by the sale of our First Financial property on March 5, 2015 and Tierrasanta property on July 16, 2014. The increase was also attributable to an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, partially offset by an increase in leasing costs primarily related to our Element LA property, increase in general and administrative expenses and an increase in acquisition related costs associated with the EOP Northern California acquisition as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $1.6 billion to $1.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $127.1 million for six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of the EOP Northern California portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in investing activities was partially offset by the cash provided by the sale of our First Financial property on March 5, 2015.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $1.6 billion to $1.7 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $93.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the $1.3 billion of borrowing associated with the acquisition of the EOP Northern California portfolio, an increase total proceeds generated by the issuance of common equity securities, after underwriters’ discounts, of approximately $385.6 million (before transaction costs) in 2015, compared to the issuance of equity securities generating total proceeds, after underwriters’ discounts, of approximately $197.5 million (before transaction costs) in 2014 and increase in total proceeds from our joint venture at our 1455 Market property of $219.2 million. The increase was partially offset by an increase in repayment of debt, an increase in dividends paid to common stock and unit holders and an increase in loan costs as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments

During the second quarter of 2015, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the information regarding specified contractual obligations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates of certain items and judgments as to certain future events, for example with respect to the allocation of the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings, improvements, equipment, and any related intangible assets and liabilities, or the effect of a property tax reassessment of our properties. These determinations, even though inherently subjective and prone to change, affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. While we believe that our estimates are based on reasonable assumptions and judgments at the time they are made, some of our assumptions, estimates and judgments will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, actual outcomes will likely differ from our accruals, and those differences—positive or negative—could be material. Some of our accruals are subject to adjustment, as we believe appropriate based on revised estimates and reconciliation to the actual results when available.

In addition, we identified certain critical accounting policies that affect certain of our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have not made any material changes to these policies during the periods covered by this Report.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Funds From Operations
We calculate FFO in accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets) and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our calculation of FFO includes the amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets.
We believe that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. The exclusion from FFO of gains and losses from the sale of operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the assets that form the core of our activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Also, because FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs, it facilitates comparisons of operating performance to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO, and accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs.
Implicit in historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, we believe that FFO along with the required GAAP presentations provides a more complete measurement of our performance relative to our competitors and a more appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities than the required GAAP presentations alone would provide.
However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance because it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations.
The following table presents our FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. As more fully described below, we use derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings. We only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors.
Interest risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.
On February 11, 2011, we closed a five-year term loan totaling $92.0 million with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., secured by our Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson media and entertainment properties. The loan initially bore interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 3.50%. On March 16, 2011, we purchased an interest rate cap in order to cap one-month LIBOR at 3.715% on $50.0 million of the loan through its original maturity of February 11, 2016. On January 11, 2012 we purchased an interest rate cap in order to cap one-month LIBOR at 2.00% with respect to $42.0 million of the loan through its original maturity of February 11, 2016. Effective August 22, 2013, the terms of this loan were amended to, among other changes, increase the outstanding balance from $92.0 million to $97.0 million, reduce the interest to a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 2.25%, and extend the maturity date from February 11, 2016 to February 11, 2018. The interest rate contracts described above were not changed in connection with this loan amendment. Effective March 4, 2015, the terms of this loan were amended and restated to introduce the ability to draw up to an additional $160.0 million for budgeted construction costs associated with our ICON development and to extend the maturity date from February 11, 2018 to March 4, 2019. The interest rate contracts described above were not changed in connection with this loan amendment.

On July 31, 2013, we closed a seven-year loan totaling $64.5 million with Union Bank, N.A., secured by our Met Park North property. The loan bears interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 155 basis points. The full loan is subject to an interest rate contract that swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 2.1644% through the loan’s maturity on August 1, 2020.

On September 23, 2014, we amended and restated our $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility to, among other things, increase the unsecured revolving credit facility to $300.0 million, extend the term of that facility, and add a five-year, $150.0 million unsecured term loan facility. The $150.0 million unsecured term loan facility was fully drawn by the Company on the closing date. On March 31, 2015, we amended and restated our existing $300.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility and $150 million unsecured term loan facility to, among other things, extend the term, increase the unsecured revolving credit facility to $400.0 million, increase the unsecured 5-year term loan facility to $550.0 million, and add a $350.0 million unsecured 7-year term loan facility.

In addition, on March 31, 2015, the Company entered into a $550.0 million new unsecured 2-year term loan facility. For borrowings under the 2-Year Term Loan Facility.

Effective as of May 1, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate contract with respect to $300.0 million of the $550.0 5-year Term Loan Facility that swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 1.36% through the loan’s maturity on April 1, 2020. As a result, $300.0 million of the 5-year Term Loan Facility currently bears interest at a rate equal to 2.66% to 3.56% per annum depending on our leverage ratio. Effective as of May 1, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate contract with respect to the entire $350.0 million 7-year Term Loan Facility that swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 1.61% through the loan’s maturity on April 1, 2022. As a result, this facility currently bears interest at a rate equal to 3.21% to 4.16% per annum depending on our leverage ratio.

Our unsecured revolving credit facility and our $550.0 million 2-year term loan, as well as the loans on each of our 901 Market, 275 Brannan, and Element LA properties, are not subject to interest rate hedges. As of June 30, 2015, we had total borrowing capacity of $400 million under our unsecured revolving credit facility, $45.0 million of which had been drawn.

With respect to our unsecured revolving credit facility, the $550.0 million 5-year term loan ($250.0 million of which is not subject to an interest rate contract), the $550.0 million 2-year term loan, the $97.0 million loan on our Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson media and entertainment properties ($5.0 million of which is not subject to an interest rate contract), the $30.0 million loan on our 901 Market property, the $82.6 million loan on our Element LA property, if one-month LIBOR as of June 30, 2015

63


was to increase by 100 basis points, or 1.0%, the resulting increase in annual interest expense would impact our future earnings and cash flows by $10.5 million.

As of June 30, 2015, we had outstanding notes payable of $2.1 billion (before loan premium), of which $347.8 million, or 16.4%, consisted of fixed rate secured mortgage loans, and $1.8 billion, or 83.6%, was variable rate debt. Approximately $92.0 million of the variable rate debt is subject to the interest rate contracts described in footnote 9 to the table above, approximately $64.5 million of the variable rate debt is subject to the interest rate contract described in footnote 10 to the table above, approximately $300.0 million of the variable rate debt is subject to the interest rate contract described in footnote 2 to the table above and approximately $350.0 million of the variable rate debt is subject to the interest rate contract described in footnote 3 to the table above. As of June 30, 2015, the estimated fair value of our fixed rate secured mortgage loans was $354.2 million. The estimated fair value of our variable rate debt equals the carrying value.
