EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 of Boston Properties, Inc. and Boston Properties Limited Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “BXP” mean Boston Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation and real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and references to “BPLP” and the “Operating Partnership” mean Boston Properties Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership. BPLP is the entity through which BXP conducts substantially all of its business and owns, either directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of its assets. BXP is the sole general partner and also a limited partner of BPLP. As the sole general partner of BPLP, BXP has exclusive control of BPLP’s day-to-day management. Therefore, unless stated otherwise or the context requires, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” mean collectively BXP, BPLP and those entities/subsidiaries consolidated by BXP.

As of December 31, 2021, BXP owned an approximate 89.7% ownership interest in BPLP. The remaining approximate 10.3% interest was owned by limited partners. The other limited partners of BPLP are (1) persons who contributed their direct or indirect interests in properties to BPLP in exchange for common units or preferred units of limited partnership interest in BPLP and/or (2) recipients of long-term incentive plan units of BPLP pursuant to BXP’s Stock Option and Incentive Plans. Under the limited partnership agreement of BPLP, unitholders may present their common units of BPLP for redemption at any time (subject to restrictions agreed upon at the time of issuance of the units that may restrict such right for a period of time, generally one year from issuance). Upon presentation of a common unit for redemption, BPLP must redeem the unit for cash equal to the then value of a share of BXP’s common stock. In lieu of a cash redemption by BPLP, however, BXP may elect to acquire any common units so tendered by issuing shares of BXP common stock in exchange for the common units. If BXP so elects, its common stock will be exchanged for common units on a one-for-one basis. This one-for-one exchange ratio is subject to specified adjustments to prevent dilution. BXP generally expects that it will elect to issue its common stock in connection with each such presentation for redemption rather than having BPLP pay cash. With each such exchange or redemption, BXP’s percentage ownership in BPLP will increase. In addition, whenever BXP issues shares of its common stock other than to acquire common units of BPLP, BXP must contribute any net proceeds it receives to BPLP and BPLP must issue to BXP an equivalent number of common units of BPLP. This structure is commonly referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT, or UPREIT.

The Company believes that combining the Annual Reports on Form 10-K of BXP and BPLP into this single report:

  • enhances investors’ understanding of BXP and BPLP by enabling them to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

  • eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more concise and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both BXP and BPLP; and

  • creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between BXP and BPLP in the context of how BXP and BPLP operate as a consolidated company. The financial results of BPLP are consolidated into the financial statements of BXP. BXP does not have any other significant assets, liabilities or operations, other than its investment in BPLP, nor does it have employees of its own. BPLP, not BXP, generally executes all significant business relationships other than transactions involving the securities of BXP. BPLP holds substantially all of the assets of BXP, including ownership interests in joint ventures. BPLP conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from equity issuances by BXP, which are contributed to the capital of BPLP in exchange for common or preferred units of partnership in BPLP, as applicable, BPLP generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources include working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under its credit facilities, the issuance of secured and unsecured debt and equity securities and proceeds received from the disposition of certain properties and interests in joint ventures.

Shareholders’ equity, partners’ capital and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of BXP and BPLP. The limited partners of BPLP are accounted for as partners’ capital in BPLP’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in BXP’s financial statements. The noncontrolling interests in BPLP’s financial statements include the interests of unaffiliated partners in various consolidated partnerships. The noncontrolling interests in BXP’s financial statements include the same

noncontrolling interests in BPLP and limited partners of BPLP. The differences between shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from differences in the equity issued at BXP and BPLP levels.

In addition, the consolidated financial statements of BXP and BPLP differ in total real estate assets resulting from previously applied acquisition accounting by BXP for the issuance of common stock in connection with non-sponsor redemptions of common units of BPLP. This accounting resulted in a step-up of the real estate assets of BXP at the time of such redemptions, resulting in a difference between the net real estate of BXP as compared to BPLP of approximately $261.4 million, or 1.5% at December 31, 2021, and a corresponding difference in depreciation expense, impairment losses and gains on sales of real estate upon the sale of these properties having an allocation of the real estate step-up. The acquisition accounting was nullified on a prospective basis beginning in 2009 as a result of the Company’s adoption of a new accounting standard requiring any subsequent redemptions to be accounted for solely as an equity transaction.

To help investors better understand the key differences between BXP and BPLP, the following items in this report present information separately for BXP and BPLP:

  • Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities;

  • Item 7. Liquidity and Capital Resources includes separate reconciliations of amounts to each entity’s financial statements, where applicable;

  • Note 13. Segment Information; and

  • Note 14. Earnings Per Share / Common Unit;

Summary of Risk Factors

The risk factors detailed in Item 1A titled “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are the risks that we believe are material to our investors and a reader should carefully consider them. Those risks are not all of the risks we face and other factors not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also affect our business if they occur. The following is a summary of the risk factors detailed in Item 1A:

  • Our performance depends upon the economic conditions, particularly the supply and demand characteristics, of our markets—Boston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, DC.

  • Adverse economic and geopolitical conditions, health crises and dislocations in the credit markets could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay dividends and/or distributions.

  • The COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe disruptions in the United States and global economies, including disruptions in the financial and labor markets, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and performance and that of our tenants.

  • Our success depends on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.

  • Our performance and value are subject to risks associated with our real estate assets and with the real estate industry, including, without limitation:

◦potential difficulties or delays renewing leases or re-leasing space;

◦potential adverse effects from major tenants’ bankruptcies or insolvencies;

◦potential delays in completion of development and redevelopment projects due to supply chain disruptions and labor shortages; and

◦potential increase in costs to maintain, renovate and develop our properties related to inflation.

  • Our actual costs to develop properties may exceed our budgeted costs.

  • Our use of joint ventures and participation in the Strategic Capital Program may limit our control over and flexibility with jointly owned investments and other assets we may wish to acquire.

  • We face risks associated with the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments, including refinancing risk.

  • An increase in interest rates would increase our interest costs on variable rate debt and could adversely impact our ability to re-finance existing debt or sell assets on favorable terms or at all.

  • Covenants in our debt agreements could adversely affect our financial condition.

  • Our degree of leverage could limit our ability to obtain additional financing or affect the market price of our equity and debt securities.

  • We face risks associated with the physical effects of climate change.

  • Potential liability for environmental contamination could result in substantial costs.

  • Some potential losses are not covered by insurance.

  • We face risks associated with security breaches through cyber attacks, cyber intrusions or otherwise, as well as other significant disruptions of our information technology (IT) networks and related systems.

  • Our involvement in legal proceedings and other claims may result in substantial monetary and other costs that have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

  • We face risks associated with BXP’s status as a real estate investment trust (REIT), including, without limitation:

◦failure to qualify as a REIT would cause BXP to be taxed as a corporation, which would substantially reduce funds available for payment of dividends;

◦possible adverse state and local tax audits and changes in state and local tax laws could result in increased tax costs that could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and the amount of cash available for the payment of dividends and distributions to our securityholders; and

◦in order to maintain BXP’s REIT status, we may be forced to borrow funds during unfavorable market conditions.

  • Changes in accounting pronouncements could adversely affect our operating results, in addition to the reported financial performance of our tenants.

This section contains forward-looking statements. You should refer to the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on forward-looking statements beginning on page 58.

PART I

Item 1. . Business

General

BXP, a Delaware corporation, is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT, and is one of the largest publicly-traded office REITs (based on total market capitalization as of December 31, 2021) in the United States that develops, owns and manages primarily Class A office properties. BXP was formed in 1997 to succeed the real estate development, redevelopment, acquisition, management, operating and leasing businesses associated with the predecessor company founded by Mortimer B. Zuckerman and Edward H. Linde in 1970.

Our properties are concentrated in six markets—Boston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, DC. At December 31, 2021, we owned or had joint venture interests in a portfolio of 201 commercial real estate properties, aggregating approximately 52.8 million net rentable square feet of primarily Class A office properties, including nine properties under construction/redevelopment totaling approximately 3.4 million net rentable square feet. As of December 31, 2021, our properties consisted of:

  • 182 office properties (including nine properties under construction/redevelopment);

  • 12 retail properties;

  • six residential properties; and

  • one hotel.

We consider Class A office properties to be well-located buildings that are modern structures or have been modernized to compete with newer buildings and professionally managed and maintained. As such, these properties attract high-quality tenants and command upper-tier rental rates. Our definition of Class A office properties may be different than those used by other companies.

We are a full-service real estate company, with substantial in-house expertise and resources in acquisitions, development, financing, capital markets, construction management, property management, marketing, leasing, accounting, risk management, tax and legal services. BXP manages BPLP as its sole general partner. Our principal executive office and Boston regional office are located at The Prudential Center, 800 Boylston Street, Suite 1900, Boston, Massachusetts 02199 and our telephone number is (617) 236-3300. In addition, we have regional offices at 2800 28th Street, Suite 170, Santa Monica, California 90405, 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022, Four Embarcadero Center, San Francisco, California 94111, 1001 Fourth Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98154 and 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20037.

Our internet address is http://www.bxp.com. On our website, you can obtain free copies of our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. You may also obtain BXP’s and BPLP’s reports by accessing the EDGAR database at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov, or we will furnish an electronic or paper copy of these reports free of charge upon written request to: Investor Relations, Boston Properties, Inc., Prudential Center, 800 Boylston Street, Suite 1900, Boston, Massachusetts 02199. “Boston Properties” is a registered trademark and the “bxp” logo is a trademark, in both cases, owned by BPLP.

Boston Properties Limited Partnership

BPLP is a Delaware limited partnership organized in 1997, and the entity through which BXP conducts substantially all of its business and owns, either directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of its assets. BXP is the sole general partner of BPLP and, as of February 14, 2022, the owner of approximately 89.6% of the economic interests in BPLP. Economic interest was calculated as the number of common partnership units of BPLP owned by BXP as a percentage of the sum of (1) the actual aggregate number of outstanding common partnership units of BPLP and (2) the number of common units issuable upon conversion of all outstanding long term incentive plan units of BPLP, or LTIP Units, for which all performance conditions have been satisfied for such conversion. We exclude from (1) and (2) above other LTIP Units issued in the form of Multi-Year Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards in 2020 or later (“MYLTIP Awards”), which remain subject to performance conditions. An LTIP Unit is generally the economic equivalent of a share of BXP’s restricted common stock, although LTIP Units issued in the form of MYLTIP Awards are only entitled to receive one-tenth (1/10th) of the regular quarterly distributions (and no special distributions) prior to being earned.

Transactions During 2021

Acquisitions

On June 2, 2021, we acquired 153 & 211 Second Avenue located in Waltham, Massachusetts for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $100.2 million in cash. 153 & 211 Second Avenue consists of two life sciences lab buildings totaling approximately 137,000 net rentable square feet. The properties are 100% leased.

On August 2, 2021, we acquired Shady Grove Innovation District in Rockville, Maryland, for a purchase price, including transaction costs, of approximately $118.5 million in cash. Shady Grove Innovation District is an approximately 435,000 net rentable square foot, seven-building office park situated on an approximately 31-acre site. We intend to reposition three of the buildings, which are currently vacant, to support lab or life sciences uses. As a result, the three vacant buildings are not part of our in-service portfolio. We anticipate that we will redevelop or convert the remaining four buildings to lab or life sciences-related uses as each becomes vacant.

On December 14, 2021, we completed the acquisition of 360 Park Avenue South, an approximately 450,000 square-foot, 20-story Class A office property located in the Midtown South submarket of Manhattan. The gross purchase price, including transaction costs, was approximately $300.7 million and consisted of (1) the assumption of approximately $200.3 million of mortgage debt collateralized by the property and (2) the issuance of approximately 866,503 common units of limited partnership interest in BPLP (“OP Units”). The OP Units issued totaled approximately $99.7 million based on the average closing price per share of BXP common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the closing date. Following the acquisition, on December 14, 2021, we refinanced the mortgage loan with a new lender. The new mortgage loan totals $220.0 million (See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). On December 15, 2021, we entered into a joint venture with two institutional partners, as part of our Strategic Capital Program (“SCP”), and contributed the property and related loan for our aggregate (direct and indirect) 42.21% ownership interest in the joint venture (See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The joint venture has commenced redevelopment activity.

Pending Acquisition

On April 19, 2021, we entered into an agreement to acquire 11251 Roger Bacon Drive, in Reston, Virginia, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5.6 million. The closing is scheduled to occur in the first or second quarter of 2022. 11251 Roger Bacon Drive is an approximately 65,000 square foot office building situated on approximately 2.6 acres. The property is 100% leased to a single tenant with a lease that expires concurrently with the planned closing. There can be no assurance that this transaction will be consummated on the terms currently contemplated or at all.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Set forth below are the risks that we believe are material to our investors and they should be carefully considered. Throughout this section, we refer to the equity and debt securities of both BXP and BPLP as our “securities,” and the investors who own securities of BXP, BPLP or both, as our “securityholders.” These risks are not all of the risks we face and other factors not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also affect our business if they occur. This section contains forward-looking statements. You should refer to the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on forward-looking statements beginning on page 58.

Risks Related to Our Business and Operations

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe disruptions in the United States and global economies, including disruptions in the financial and labor markets, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and performance and that of our tenants.

There remains uncertainty regarding the duration and breadth of the COVID-19 pandemic. The degree to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operation, cash flows, liquidity and performance, and that of our tenants, will be driven primarily by the emergence of additional variants, the effectiveness, availability and distribution of vaccines, including their efficacy against new variant strains and the willingness of individuals to be vaccinated, the severity and duration of indirect economic and social impacts such as recession, supply chain disruptions, labor market disruptions, inflation, dislocation and volatility in capital markets, job losses, potential longer-term changes in consumer and tenant behavior, as well as current and possible future governmental responses. These uncertainties make it impossible for us to predict with

certainty the overall impact that COVID-19 will have on us and our tenants prospectively. Factors related to COVID-19 that have had, or could have, a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, include:

  • reduced economic activity impacting the businesses, financial condition and liquidity of our tenants has caused, and is expected to continue to cause, one or more of our tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us, including their ability to make timely rental payments, in full or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations, including rent concessions, deferrals or abatements, or to declare bankruptcy;

  • the failure of our tenants to properly implement or deploy their business continuity plans, or if those plans are ineffective, could have a material adverse effect on our tenants’ businesses and their ability to pay rent;

  • the impact of reinstated or new restrictions on the operations of one or more of our tenants’ businesses, including office, life sciences, hotel and retail tenants, and parking operators, temporary or long-term disruptions in our tenants’ supply chains or delays in the delivery of products, services or other materials necessary for our tenants’ operations, could force our tenants to reduce, delay or eliminate offerings of their products and services, which could result in less revenue, income and cash flow, and possibly their bankruptcy or insolvency. Any one or more of the foregoing could:

  • reduce our cash flows,

  • adversely impact our ability to finance, refinance or sell a property,

  • adversely impact our ability to continue paying distributions to our equityholders at current levels, or at all, and

  • result in additional legal and other costs to enforce our rights, collect rent and/or re-lease the space occupied by the distressed tenant;

  • the extent to which COVID-19 and the safety protocols required or suggested by local governmental authorities or businesses in response to COVID-19 continues to decrease customers’ willingness to frequent, or prevents customers from frequenting, our tenants’ businesses in the future, may result in our retail tenants’ continued inability to make timely rental payments to us under their leases;

  • the degree to which our tenants’ businesses have been, and continue to be, negatively impacted has required, and may in the future require, us to write-off a tenant’s accrued rent balance and this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity;

  • the impact of governmental and business travel limitations and restrictions have had, and may continue to have, a material adverse effect on the operators of our parking garages and our hotel property, which negatively impacts our revenues, and may continue to result in decreased demand for hotel stays even after the travel limitations and restrictions are lifted;

  • changes made by companies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that could lead to a sustained shift away from collective in-person work environments or relocations away from the markets in which we operate, either of which could adversely affect the overall demand for office space in the regions in which we operate;

  • new laws, governmental policies, and similar actions, including legal restrictions on prosecutions, could adversely impact public safety and thereby adversely affect (1) the desirability of tenants to lease space in our properties or markets, and (2) businesses’ office re-population plans;

  • the impact of COVID-19 could result in an event or change in circumstances that results in an impairment in the value of our properties or our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and any such impairment could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the periods in which the charge is taken;

  • we may be unable to restructure or amend leases with certain of our tenants on terms favorable to us or at all;

  • the impact and validity of interpretations of lease provisions and applicable laws related to claims by tenants regarding their obligations to pay rent as a result of COVID-19, and any adverse court rulings or

decisions interpreting these provisions and laws, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity;

  • restrictions intended to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have limited, and may continue to limit, our leasing activities, such as property tours, and may have a material adverse effect on our ability to renew leases, lease vacant space, including vacant space from tenant bankruptcies and defaults, or re-lease available space as leases expire in our properties on favorable terms, or at all;

  • the impact of efforts by state, local, federal and industry groups to enact laws and regulations have restricted, and may further restrict, the ability of landlords, such as us, to collect rent, enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent, or otherwise enforce the terms of the lease agreements, such as a rent freeze for tenants or a suspension of a landlord’s ability to enforce evictions;

  • the impact of widely reported supply chain disruptions globally and in the U.S. as a result of, among other things, substantial backlogs of container ships and delays caused or exacerbated by port and trucking labor shortages, railway logistics issues and a shortage of warehouse space, could result in material delays and increased costs for our development and redevelopment activities, as well as the businesses of our tenants;

  • the extent of labor shortages, disruptions in the supply chains, inflation impacting costs of materials, delays in permitting or inspections, and other factors could result in our failure to meet the development milestones set forth in any applicable lease agreement, which could provide the tenant the right to terminate its lease or entitle the tenant to monetary damages, delay the commencement or completion of construction and our anticipated lease-up plans for a d

These units were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based upon factual representations received from the limited partner who received the OP Units.

Each time BXP issues shares of stock (other than in exchange for common units when such common units are presented for redemption), it contributes the proceeds of such issuance to BPLP in return for an equivalent number of partnership units with rights and preferences analogous to the shares issued. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, in connection with issuances of common stock by BXP pursuant to an issuance of restricted common stock to a non-employee director of BXP, the settlement of deferred stock awards and exercises of non-qualified stock options under the Boston Properties, Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan, BPLP issued an aggregate of 42,583 common units to BXP in exchange for approximately $4.2 million, the aggregate proceeds of such common stock issuances to BXP. Such units were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the documents incorporated by reference, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions, in each case, to the extent applicable. Such statements are contained principally, but not only, under the captions “Business—Business and Growth Strategies,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” We caution investors that any such forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs or expectations of future events and on assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “budget,” “could”, “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “project,” “should,” “will” 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 are not guarantees of future performance or occurrences, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are, in some cases, beyond our control. Should one or more of these known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. We caution you that, while forward-looking statements reflect our good-faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance or occurrences and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

The most significant factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include the ongoing impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S. and global economies, which has impacted, and is likely to continue to impact, us directly and indirectly, as well as the other important factors below and the risks set forth in this Form 10-K in Part I, Item 1A.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

  • the risks and uncertainties related to the impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic, including the emergence of additional variants, the effectiveness, availability and distribution of vaccines, including their efficacy against new variant strains and the willingness of individuals to be vaccinated, the severity and duration of indirect economic impacts such as recession, supply chain disruptions, labor market disruptions, inflation, dislocation and volatility in capital markets, job losses, potential longer-term changes in consumer and tenant behavior, as well as possible future governmental responses;

  • volatile or adverse global economic and political conditions, health crises and dislocations in the credit markets could adversely affect our access to cost-effective capital and have a resulting material adverse effect on our business opportunities, results of operations and financial condition;

  • general risks affecting the real estate industry (including, without limitation, the inability to enter into or renew leases, tenant space utilization, dependence on tenants’ financial condition, and competition from other developers, owners and operators of real estate);

  • failure to manage effectively our growth and expansion into new markets and sub-markets or to integrate acquisitions and developments successfully;

  • the ability of our joint venture partners to satisfy their obligations;

  • risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including, without limitation, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, construction delays, increased construction costs, cost overruns, inability to obtain necessary permits, tenant accounting considerations that may result in negotiated lease provisions that limit a tenant’s liability during construction, and public opposition to such activities);

  • risks associated with the availability and terms of financing and the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments or refinance existing indebtedness, including the impact of higher interest rates on the cost and/or availability of financing;

  • risks associated with forward interest rate contracts and the effectiveness of such arrangements;

  • risks associated with downturns in the national and local economies, increases in interest rates, and volatility in the securities markets;

  • risks associated with actual or threatened terrorist attacks;

  • costs of compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other similar laws;

  • potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination;

  • risks associated with the physical effects of climate change;

  • risks associated with security breaches through cyber attacks, cyber intrusions or otherwise, as well as other significant disruptions of our information technology (IT) networks and related systems, which support our operations and our buildings;

  • risks associated with BXP’s potential failure to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

  • possible adverse changes in tax and environmental laws;

  • the impact of newly adopted accounting principles on our accounting policies and on period-to-period comparisons of financial results;

  • risks associated with possible state and local tax audits; and

  • risks associated with our dependence on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.

The risks set forth above are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report, including “Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors,” include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, particularly in light of the circumstances relating to COVID-19. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. Investors should also refer to our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for future periods and Current Reports on Form 8-K as we file them with the SEC, and to other materials we may furnish to the public from time to time through Current Reports on Form 8-K or otherwise, for a discussion of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, future events, or otherwise, and you should not rely upon these forward-looking statements after the dat

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The following table presents the aggregate carrying value of our mortgage notes payable, net, unsecured senior notes, net, unsecured line of credit and our corresponding estimate of fair value as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, approximately $12.8 billion of these borrowings bore interest at fixed rates and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in the market interest rates. As of December 31, 2021, the weighted-average interest rate on our variable rate debt was LIBOR plus 0.775% (0.87%) per annum. The following table presents our aggregate debt obligations with corresponding weighted-average interest rates sorted by maturity date.

The table below does not include our unconsolidated joint venture debt. For a discussion concerning our unconsolidated joint venture debt, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Capitalization—Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements—Joint Venture Indebtedness.”

At December 31, 2021, the weighted-average coupon/stated rates on the fixed rate debt stated above was 3.32% per annum. At December 31, 2021, our outstanding variable rate debt based on LIBOR totaled

approximately $145.0 million. At December 31, 2021, the coupon/stated rate on our variable rate debt was

approximately 0.87% per annum. If market interest rates on our variable rate debt had been 100 basis points greater, total interest expense would have increased approximately $1.5 million, on an annualized basis, for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The fair value amounts were determined solely by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. Due to the uncertainty of specific actions, we may undertake to minimize possible effects of market interest rate increases, this analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure.

On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced that USD LIBOR will no longer be published after June 30, 2023. This announcement has several implications, including setting the spread that may be used to automatically convert contracts from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Additionally, banking regulators are encouraging banks to discontinue new LIBOR debt issuances by December 31, 2021.

We anticipate that LIBOR will continue to be available at least until June 30, 2023. Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.

We and our unconsolidated joint ventures have contracts that are indexed to LIBOR and we are monitoring and evaluating the related risks. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to an alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur, and are likely to vary by contract. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR, as well as interest rates on our unconsolidated joint ventures current or future indebtedness, may also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued. For some instruments the

method of transitioning to an alternative reference rate may be challenging, especially if we cannot agree with the respective counterparty about how to make the transition.

While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until at least the end of June 30, 2023, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.

Alternative rates and other market changes related to the replacement of LIBOR, including the introduction of financial products and changes in market practices, may lead to risk modeling and valuation challenges, such as adjusting interest rate accrual calculations and building a term structure for an alternative rate.

The introduction of an alternative rate also may create additional basis risk and increased volatility as alternative rates are phased in and utilized in parallel with LIBOR.

Adjustments to systems and mathematical models to properly process and account for alternative rates will be required, which may strain the model risk management and information technology functions and result in substantial incremental costs for us.
