**Item 8.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other Events**

On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which immediately appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") as receiver. The closure of SVB represents the second largest bank failure in the history of the United States. On Sunday, March 12, 2023, the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve Board, and the FDIC announced a set of extraordinary actions to ensure that SVB depositors have access to all of their money starting on Monday, March 13, 2023.

SVB provided commercial and private banking products and services to various industries, including technology, life science, and healthcare. According to SVB Financial Group's fourth quarter 2022 earnings slides filed with the SEC on January 19, 2023, early stage life science/healthcare and life science/healthcare companies represented an aggregate of 12% of its approximately $173 billion in total deposits as of December 31, 2022. Additionally, SVB's slides highlighted that early stage life science/healthcare and life science/healthcare companies represented an aggregate of 36% of $168 billion in its off-balance sheet funds, including managed funds, sweep funds, and repo funds.

Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. ("Alexandria") does not have any bank accounts with SVB, does not have any loans to or from SVB, and does not have any other amounts due to or due from SVB. Alexandria has one lease in the Greater Boston market, aggregating 32,152 rentable square feet, to an affiliate of SVB, that was in place at a recently acquired operating property. As of December 31, 2022, Alexandria's annual rental revenue associated with this SVB lease was $1.7 million, or 0.08% of total annual rental revenue. As of March 13, 2023, there were no amounts due to Alexandria under this lease.

Alexandria has a high-quality and diverse list of client tenants primarily in the life science industry. Also, as of December 31, 2022, Alexandria held venture investments in publicly traded and privately held entities primarily involved in the life science, agtech, and technology industries. As of December 31, 2022, Alexandria's venture investments had gross unrealized gains of $506.4 million and gross unrealized losses of $109.4 million on a cost basis of $1.2 billion, or 2.9% of total gross assets.

Although Alexandria does not have investments in any venture funds led by SVB and/or its affiliates, some tenants and venture investments may have banking relationships or other business relationships with SVB. In addition, some of Alexandria's leases require tenants to provide security deposits to cover certain lease obligations. If a tenant fulfills its lease obligations through the term of its lease, Alexandria will return the security deposit to the tenant. A portion of these security deposits take the form of letters of credit, some of which were issued by SVB and/or its affiliates. To the extent certain tenants have provided a letter of credit issued by SVB and/or its affiliates, Alexandria will be working with such tenants to replace their letters of credit with another acceptable security deposit as required under their lease agreement. As of March 10, 2023, the aggregate security deposits in the form of letters of credit issued by SVB and/or its affiliates to Alexandria aggregate $108.3 million.

Alexandria will continue to monitor this situation closely and expects to report on any significant direct or indirect impacts to its financial condition and/or operating results that are identified with respect to the SVB failure or, as applicable, other bank failures.
