On and effective March 31, 2026, Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. ("Alexandria," or the "Company") filed Articles Supplementary (the "Articles Supplementary") with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland.

The Articles Supplementary reflect the Company's election to opt out (the "opt out") of Section 3-804(a) of the Maryland General Corporation Law ("MGCL"), the statutory provision that requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all of the votes entitled to be cast by stockholders generally in the election of directors to remove directors. As a result of the opt-out, the Company is no longer subject to the two-thirds director-removal voting requirement under MGCL Section 3-804(a). Director removal is now governed by the Company's charter, which provides for the removal of directors by the affirmative vote of a majority of all votes entitled to be cast on the matter.

The Articles Supplementar*y* were approved by the Company's Board of Directors on March 30, 2026, following the stockholder approval of a "Simple Majority Vote" proposal at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The foregoing summary of the Articles Supplementary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Articles Supplementary filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto.
