Prospectus Summary
Brookfield Property Partners L.P. (BPY), a Bermuda exempted limited partnership and global commercial real estate owner, is offering 10,000,000 units of its 6.375% Class A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units, Series 2 (BPYPO), at a liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit, callable at par on or after September 30, 2024. These are not depositary shares — each unit is a direct preferred limited partnership interest. Distributions accrue at $1.5938 per unit annually ($0.3984 per quarter), paid on the last day of March, June, September, and December. Critically, the units are cumulative, meaning any unpaid distributions must be made whole before any distributions can be paid on junior securities such as LP Units — providing holders meaningful downside protection against distribution omissions. The Series 2 Preferred Units rank junior to all of BPY's existing and future debt ($51.6 billion consolidated as of June 2019) and any designated Senior Securities, pari passu with the Series 1 Preferred Units (6.50%) and other Parity Securities, and senior to LP Units and other Junior Securities. Importantly, as a holding-company issuance, the units are structurally subordinated to all debt and preferred equity at the subsidiary level — including the Property Partnership's own class A preferred units held by third parties. There is no traditional regulatory capital call; however, a Ratings Event call permits BPY to redeem the units at $25.50 (102% of par) if a rating agency reduces the equity credit assigned to the units prior to September 30, 2024, reflecting an unusual form of capital-classification risk. At the $25.00 offering price, the Series 2 Preferred Units yield exactly 6.375% per annum. Distributions are paid quarterly on the last day of March, June, September, and December, with a record date set as the first Business Day of the payment month. Because BPY is a Bermuda limited partnership — not a U.S. corporation — distributions are generally treated as partnership income rather than qualified dividends, meaning they likely do not qualify for the 15%/20% preferential QDI rate available to individual investors, nor the dividends-received deduction for corporate holders; investors should consult their tax advisors. The dividend stopper prevents any distribution on LP Units or other junior interests unless all accumulated and unpaid Series 2 distributions have been satisfied, providing a meaningful structural incentive for BPY to keep preferred distributions current.
