Item 5.03

Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

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 Supplementary 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.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits

3.1 Articles Supplementary, dated March 31, 2026, relating to Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the Maryland General Corporation Law.
