Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility In October 2024, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Company entered into the Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 8, 2021 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions to provide for an unsecured revolving credit facility aggregating $1.1 billion (the “Revolving Facility”) and a seven-year $300.0 million unsecured term loan that matures in July 2029 (the “$300M Term Loan”). Under the Credit Agreement, the Operating Partnership has the option, subject to certain customary conditions, to increase the Revolving Facility and/or incur additional term loans up to a maximum aggregate amount not to exceed $2.0 billion. The Third Amendment extended the maturity date of the Revolving Facility to October 3, 2028, which maturity date may be extended for either one one-year period or up to two -month periods at the Operating Partnership’s option, subject to certain conditions. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus a margin based on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio or credit rating, respectively, plus a facility fee based on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio or credit rating, respectively. The rate is also subject to an additional 0.10% spread adjustment. The Revolving Facility is currently priced on the leverage-based pricing grid. In accordance with the Credit Agreement, the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resets quarterly based on the Company’s leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end. The Company may irrevocably elect to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid at any time. As of March 31, 2025, making such an election would have resulted in a lower interest rate; however, the Company had not made the election to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid. As specified in the Third Amendment, in the event that the Company so elects to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid, the Company has the ability to obtain more favorable pricing in certain circumstances when its total leverage ratio is (x) less than or equal to 35.0% or (y) greater than 35.0% but less than or equal to 37.5% with respect to not more than one fiscal quarter following a period in which the condition described in clause (x) was satisfied (the “Leverage Toggle”). The Third Amendment also includes an adjustment to the sustainability-linked pricing provisions that allows the otherwise applicable interest rate margin to be reduced by up to two basis points (previously one basis point) if certain greenhouse gas emission reduction targets are achieved. The greenhouse gas emission reduction targets have not been achieved as of March 31, 2025. The following table summarizes the key terms of the Revolving Facility as of March 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands):
The Operating Partnership’s ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement is subject to ongoing compliance by the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries with various restrictive covenants, including with respect to liens, transactions with affiliates, dividends, mergers and asset sales. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that the Operating Partnership satisfy certain financial covenants, including (i) a maximum leverage ratio; (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio; (iii) a maximum secured indebtedness ratio; (iv) a maximum unsecured leverage ratio; and (v) a minimum unencumbered interest coverage ratio. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all such covenants. As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $4.5 million with no amounts advanced against these instruments. Unsecured Term Loans As of March 31, 2025, the Operating Partnership has the following unsecured term loans: (i) a $150.0 million unsecured term loan due July 2026 (the “$150M Term Loan”), (ii) a $250.0 million unsecured term loan due October 2027 (the “$250M Term Loan”), and (iii) the $300M Term Loan that matures in July 2029, each of which bears interest at a rate of plus a credit spread based on a ratings-based pricing grid. The loan agreement related to the $150M Term Loan includes a sustainability metric based on targeted greenhouse gas emission reductions, which results in a reduction of the otherwise applicable interest rate margin by one basis point upon achievement of targets set forth therein. The loan agreements related to the $250M Term Loan and the $300M Term Loan include the same Leverage Toggle for determining pricing and sustainability-linked pricing provisions as described above for the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement. The greenhouse gas emission reduction targets have not been achieved as of March 31, 2025. The following table summarizes the key terms of the unsecured term loans as of March 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands):
(1)The maturity date may be extended by one one-year period at the Operating Partnership’s option, subject to certain conditions. The Operating Partnership has the option to increase the $150M Term Loan to $250.0 million upon the Operating Partnership’s request, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the term loan agreement, to provide such increased amounts. The Operating Partnership is permitted to prepay the $150M Term Loan in whole or in part at any time, without being subject to a prepayment fee. The Operating Partnership has the option to increase the $250M Term Loan to $300.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the term loan agreement, to provide such increased amounts. The Operating Partnership is permitted to prepay the $250M Term Loan in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. The Operating Partnership is permitted to prepay the $300M Term Loan in whole or in part at any time, without premium or penalty. The unsecured term loan agreements contain representations, financial and other affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are substantially similar to those contained in the Credit Agreement. The unsecured term loan agreements all rank pari passu with the Operating Partnership’s Revolving Facility and other unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership.
