Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On December 23, 2021, we sold a 35% equity interest from our 55% equity interest in our joint venture arrangement for a life science property located in Boston, Massachusetts, or our joint venture, to an unrelated third party institutional investor for $378.0 million. Following the sale, we continue to own a 20% equity interest in our joint venture and our pre-existing joint venture partner continues to own its 45% equity interest in our joint venture.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.

Effective as of the date of the sale described in Item 2.01 above, the results of operations of our joint venture will be deconsolidated and our remaining 20% interest will be accounted for using the equity method. This Current Report on Form 8-K includes unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information of the Company as required by Item 9.01(b) of Current Report on Form 8-K as a result of this deemed disposition. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of our expected financial position or results of operations for any future period. Differences could result from numerous factors, including future changes in our portfolio of investments, capital structure, property level operating expenses and revenues, including rents expected to be received from our existing leases or leases we may enter into, changes in interest rates, the performance of our joint venture and other reasons. Actual future results are likely to be different from amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and such differences could be significant.
