NOTES PAYABLE | NOTES PAYABLE As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s notes payable consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):
_____________________ (1) Contractual interest rate represents the interest rate in effect under the loan as of March 31, 2025. Effective interest rate is calculated as the actual interest rate in effect as of March 31, 2025, consisting of the contractual interest rate and using interest rate indices as of March 31, 2025, where applicable. For information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments, see Note 9, “Derivative Instruments.” (2) Represents the maturity date as of March 31, 2025; subject to certain conditions, the maturity dates of certain loans may be extended beyond the dates shown. See below. (3) Beginning January 1, 2024, the borrower under the Almaden Mortgage Loan is required to make a monthly principal payment in the amount of $130,000. (4) See below, “– Recent Financing Transactions – Carillon Mortgage Loan.” (5) Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”). (6) Beginning June 1, 2024, the borrowers under the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility are required to make a quarterly principal payment in the amount of $880,900. As of March 31, 2025, $6.1 million of the holdbacks on the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility are available for future disbursement, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan documents. The Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility is secured by 515 Congress, Gateway Tech Center and 201 17th Street. For more information on this loan, see the Company’s Annual Report filed with the SEC. (7) The 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan is secured by 3001 Washington Boulevard and 3003 Washington Boulevard. For more information on this loan, see the Company’s Annual Report filed with the SEC. (8) As of March 31, 2025, the outstanding principal balance of the Accenture Tower Loan was $317.4 million and $4.6 million of new funding was available for future disbursement, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan documents. As of March 31, 2025, the Accenture Tower Loan has one 12-month extension option available pursuant to the loan agreement, subject to certain terms and conditions contained in the loan documents. For more information on this loan, see the Company’s Annual Report filed with the SEC. (9) The borrower under the Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility Borrower”) is required to meet each of the following milestones: (a) on or prior to December 31, 2025, the Credit Facility Borrower will cause the sale of one of the Company’s properties and pay down the outstanding principal balance of the Credit Facility in an amount equal to the net sales proceeds therefrom up to $25.4 million and reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Credit Facility to no greater than $37.5 million; (b) on or prior to September 30, 2026, the Credit Facility Borrower will cause the sale of one of the Company’s properties and use 50% of the net sales proceeds therefrom to pay down the Credit Facility Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Facility and reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Credit Facility to no greater than $27.5 million; and (c) on or prior to September 30, 2027, the Credit Facility Borrower will cause the sale of three of the Company’s properties and use 100% of the net sales proceeds to pay all remaining obligations of the Credit Facility Borrower under the Credit Facility. For more information on this loan, see the Company’s Annual Report filed with the SEC. (10) See below, “– Recent Financing Transactions – Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility.” (11) As of March 31, 2025, the Park Place Village Mortgage Loan has two 12-month extension options, subject to certain terms, conditions and fees as described in the loan documents. Monthly payments are interest only during the initial term and the first extension option. During the second extension option, certain future monthly payments due under the Park Place Village Mortgage Loan also include amortizing principal payments. Through the normal course of operations, the Company has $611.1 million of notes payable maturing and required principal paydowns during the 12-month period from the issuance of these financial statements. Considering the current commercial real estate lending environment and the ongoing required loan paydowns and loan maturity schedule, this raises substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of the issuance of these financial statements. In order to refinance, restructure or extend the Company’s maturing debt obligations, the Company has been required to reduce the loan commitments and/or make paydowns on certain loans, and the Company may be required to make additional reductions to loan commitments and paydowns on the loans maturing during the next 12 months in order to refinance, restructure or extend those loans. As a result of reductions in loan commitments and paydowns and the ongoing liquidity needs in the Company’s real estate portfolio, the Company may be required to sell assets into a challenged real estate market in an effort to manage its liquidity needs. Selling real estate assets in the current market may result in a lower sale price than the Company would otherwise obtain. In addition, the Company may continue to evaluate raising capital through the issuance of new equity or debt. The Company may also defer noncontractual expenditures. Additionally, elevated interest rates, reductions in real estate values and future tenant turnover in the portfolio will have a further impact on the Company’s ability to meet loan compliance tests and may further reduce the available liquidity under the Company’s loan agreements. See also, Note 2, “Going Concern.” During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s interest expense related to notes payable was $28.3 million and $32.5 million, respectively, which excludes the impact of interest rate swaps and caps put in place to mitigate the Company’s exposure to rising interest rates on its variable rate notes payable. See Note 9, “Derivative Instruments.” Included in interest expense was the amortization of deferred financing costs of $2.3 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $8.8 million and $8.6 million of interest expense were payable, respectively. The following is a schedule of maturities, including principal amortization payments, for all notes payable outstanding as of March 31, 2025 (in thousands):
The Company’s notes payable contain financial debt covenants. Except with regards to a debt service coverage ratio covenant related to one of the Company’s loan agreements, as of March 31, 2025, the Company believes it was in compliance with the debt covenants under its notes payable. As of March 31, 2025, the Company determined it may not have met the debt service coverage ratio required under one of the Company’s loan agreements and estimates that a principal paydown of $4.0 million to $6.0 million may be required. The calculation of this covenant is expected to be finalized by May 30, 2025 as required by the loan agreement. The Company’s loan agreements contain cross default provisions, including that the failure of one or more of the Company’s subsidiaries to pay debt as it matures under one debt facility may trigger the acceleration of the Company’s indebtedness under other debt facilities. As of March 31, 2025, the Almaden Mortgage Loan, the Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility, the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility, the 3001 & 3003 Washington Mortgage Loan, the Accenture Tower Loan and the Carillon Mortgage Loan are subject to cash sweep arrangements, whereby each month the excess cash flow from the properties securing the loan is deposited into a cash management account held for the benefit of the Company’s lenders. Generally, excess cash flow means an amount equal to (a) gross revenues from the properties securing the facility less (b) an amount equal to principal and interest paid with respect to the associated debt facility, operating expenses of the properties securing the facility and in certain cases a limited amount of REIT-level expenses. In certain cases, the Company may request disbursements from the cash management accounts to fund capital or operating shortfalls at the underlying assets. Amounts held in the cash management accounts at each reporting period are included in restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Recent Financing Transactions Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility On November 3, 2021, certain of the Company’s indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers”) entered into a loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Portfolio Loan Agent”); BofA Securities, Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Capital One, National Association as joint lead arrangers and joint book runners; Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as syndication agent; and each of the financial institutions signatory thereto as lenders (as subsequently modified and amended, the “Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility”). The current lenders under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility are Bank of America, N.A.; Wells Fargo Bank, National Association; U.S. Bank, National Association; Capital One, National Association; PNC Bank, National Association; Regions Bank; and Zions Bankcorporation, N.A., DBA California Bank & Trust (together, the “Portfolio Loan Lenders”). The Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility is secured by 60 South Sixth, Sterling Plaza, Towers at Emeryville, Ten Almaden and Town Center (the “Portfolio Loan Properties”). On February 6, 2025, the Company, through the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers and REIT Properties III, entered into the eighth loan modification agreement with the Portfolio Loan Agent and the Portfolio Loan Lenders (the “Eighth Extension Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Eighth Extension Agreement, the maturity date of the facility was extended to January 22, 2027, with two additional 12-month extension options, subject to the terms and conditions in the loan documents. Pursuant to the Eighth Extension Agreement, the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility bears interest at one-month Term SOFR plus 300 basis points. Prior to closing the Eighth Extension Agreement, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility was approximately $465.9 million (the “Principal Debt”). The Eighth Extension Agreement provides for $15.0 million of new funding (“Additional Loan Proceeds”; the Additional Loan Proceeds together with the Principal Debt (the “Maximum Facility Amount”)) that may be advanced in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Eighth Extension Agreement. The Additional Loan Proceeds may be used solely for approved tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital improvement costs, and taxes and insurance attributable to the Portfolio Loan Properties. The advances of Additional Loan Proceeds are only available to the extent sufficient funds are not available from certain cash accounts established under the Eighth Extension Agreement. As of March 31, 2025, $13.0 million of the Additional Loan Proceeds remain available for future disbursement, subject to the conditions of the Eighth Extension Agreement. The Eighth Extension Agreement requires the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers to paydown a portion of the loan such that the Maximum Facility Amount is not greater than (i) $420.0 million on or before December 31, 2025, (ii) $300.0 million on or before December 31, 2026 and (iii) $150.0 million on or before December 31, 2027. In connection with the paydown provisions, the Eighth Extension Agreement requires the sale of Counted Projects (defined below), from time to time, such that the Company does not own more than five Counted Projects as of December 31, 2025, four Counted Projects as of December 31, 2026 and three Counted Projects as of December 31, 2027. The Counted Projects are the Portfolio Loan Properties and Accenture Tower. In connection with the sale of the Portfolio Loan Properties, the Eighth Extension Agreement provides for up to $30 million of sales proceeds from the sale of the first Portfolio Loan Property and up to a total of $15 million of sales proceeds from the sale of subsequent Portfolio Loan Properties to be funded into the Cash Sweep Collateral Account (defined below) that can be used as described below. Commencing September 30, 2025 and each quarter thereafter, the Eighth Extension Agreement also requires that the Portfolio Loan Properties meet certain leasing requirements. The Eighth Extension Agreement provides that 100% of excess cash flow from the Portfolio Loan Properties be deposited monthly into cash collateral accounts (the “Cash Sweep Collateral Account”). Subject to the requirements contained therein, the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers will be permitted to withdraw funds from the Cash Sweep Collateral Account to pay or reimburse the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers for approved tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital improvements, for operating shortfalls related to the Portfolio Loan Properties to the extent they occur in any month and for certain other limited fees and expenses. Additionally, the Eighth Extension Agreement (i) limits the amount of asset management fees that may be paid by the Company to the Advisor to 90% of the asset management fees associated with the Portfolio Loan Properties (“Permitted Asset Management Fees”) (with the remaining 10% of the asset management fees associated with the Portfolio Loan Properties being deferred until the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers have either paid in full their obligations under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility, or met the requirements to pay such deferred fees during the extension periods of the loan) and (ii) limits the amount of REIT-level general and administrative expenses that can be allocated to the Portfolio Loan Properties and paid or reimbursed by the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers, provided that in each case no such payments may be made during the occurrence and continuance of a default or potential default for which the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers have received notice that has not been waived or cured. The Eighth Extension Agreement also restricts the Company from paying dividends or distributions to its stockholders or redeeming shares of its stock, except that if no default has occurred and is continuing under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility, the Company may distribute such amounts to its stockholders as are required for the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, so long as such distributions are not funded by the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers. The Eighth Extension Agreement contains various ongoing financial covenants at both the guarantor (REIT Properties III) and borrower level. The Eighth Extension Agreement required the Company to cause the equity interests of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (and all proceeds therefrom) that directly and indirectly own Accenture Tower to be pledged to the Portfolio Loan Lenders as security for all of the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers’ obligations under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility. The Company is also required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause approximately half of the units of the SREIT held by the Company to be pledged to the Portfolio Loan Lenders as security for all of the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers’ obligations under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility. To the extent that the Company sells any of the units of the SREIT (other than certain excluded units), the Company is required to contribute the cash proceeds of such sale to the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers for such proceeds to be applied as follows (i) in respect of the first $30.0 million of cash proceeds, 50% in prepayment of the outstanding obligations under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility and the remaining 50% to be distributed to REIT Properties III to fund the general capital and other cash flow needs of the Company and its subsidiaries and, (ii) any amounts thereafter, 50% in prepayment of the outstanding obligations under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility and 50% to fund the Cash Sweep Collateral Account for capital needs of the Portfolio Loan Properties. The Eighth Extension Agreement also provides that (a) in respect of the sale of Accenture Tower, the first $10 million of net sale proceeds shall be used to fund to the Cash Sweep Collateral Account with the remaining net sale proceeds required to be used to reduce the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers’ obligations under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility, and (b) in respect of the sale of The Almaden, the first $10.0 million of net sale proceeds is required to be used to reduce the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers’ obligations under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility with the remaining net sale proceeds to be applied on an equal basis to reduce the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility Borrowers’ obligations under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility and to fund the Cash Sweep Collateral Account. The Eighth Extension Agreement continues to provide that, if elected by the required Portfolio Loan Lenders, a default will occur under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility if a written demand for payment is delivered to REIT Properties III under (a) the Company’s Credit Facility, (b) the payment guaranty agreement of the Company’s Modified Portfolio Revolving Loan Facility or (c) as a result of a default under any guaranty or any other indebtedness of REIT Properties III where the demand made or amount guaranteed is greater than $5.0 million. Further, the occurrence of a default (after any required notice, cure or standstill period, as applicable) under the Accenture Tower Loan will cause a default under the Accenture pledge, resulting in a cross-default under the Amended and Restated Portfolio Loan Facility. Carillon Mortgage Loan On April 11, 2019, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary (the “Carillon Borrower”), entered into a loan facility with U.S. Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Carillon Agent”) (as amended and modified, the “Carillon Mortgage Loan”). The current lenders under the Carillon Mortgage Loan are U.S. Bank, National Association and TD Bank, N.A. (the “Carillon Lenders”). The Carillon Mortgage Loan is secured by Carillon. On March 26, 2025, the Company, through the Carillon Borrower, entered into a third modification agreement with the Carillon Agent and the Carillon Lenders (the “Carillon Third Modification Agreement”). Pursuant to the Carillon Third Modification Agreement, the Carillon Lenders agreed to extend the maturity date of the Carillon Mortgage Loan to December 31, 2026. Prior to the Carillon Third Modification Agreement, the Carillon Mortgage Loan bore interest at the one-month Term SOFR plus 150 basis points. Pursuant to the Carillon Third Modification Agreement, the Carillon Mortgage Loan bears interest at one-month Term SOFR plus 200 basis points. Pursuant to the Carillon Third Modification Agreement, the aggregate commitment under the Carillon Mortgage Loan was increased to $95.0 million (the “Aggregate Commitment”), consisting of the then-outstanding non-revolving, principal balance of $87.8 million and $7.2 million of non-revolving, new funding (“New Availability”) that may be advanced in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Carillon Third Modification Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions in the Carillon Third Modification Agreement, proceeds from the New Availability may be used solely for approved tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital improvement costs, certain approved monthly operating shortfall amounts at Carillon, taxes and insurance attributable to Carillon, or other capital expenditures related to Carillon, and the New Availability is only available to the extent there are not sufficient funds available from the Carillon Cash Sweep Collateral Account (defined below). Pursuant to the Carillon Third Modification Agreement, the Carillon Borrower is required to make a monthly principal payment in the amount of $112,000 commencing April 1, 2025 through the remaining term of the loan, and the Aggregate Commitment will be reduced by the amount of such principal payments. As of March 31, 2025, the outstanding principal balance of the Carillon Mortgage Loan was $88.6 million and $6.4 million of New Availability on the Carillon Mortgage Loan was available for future disbursement, subject to the conditions of the Carillon Third Modification Agreement. Commencing on April 20, 2025, the Carillon Third Modification Agreement requires that 100% of excess cash flow (the “Carillon Excess Cash Flow”) from Carillon be deposited monthly into a cash collateral account maintained with the Carillon Agent in the name of the Carillon Borrower (the “Carillon Cash Sweep Collateral Account”). Funds may not be withdrawn from the Carillon Cash Sweep Collateral Account without the prior written consent of the Carillon Agent. So long as no default exists under the Carillon Mortgage Loan and subject to the terms and conditions in the Carillon Third Modification Agreement, the Carillon Borrower will be permitted to withdraw funds from the Carillon Cash Sweep Collateral Account once per calendar month for the payment or reimbursement of (i) approved tenant improvements, leasing commissions and capital improvement costs, (ii) monthly operating shortfall amounts at Carillon, (iii) taxes and insurance attributable to Carillon and (iv) certain other cash flow needs of the Carillon Borrower. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default and on the maturity date, the Carillon Agent has the right to withdraw funds from the Carillon Cash Sweep Collateral Account and/or other required accounts and apply such funds to any due and payable obligations of the Carillon Borrower. The Carillon Third Modification Agreement restricts the Carillon Borrower, REIT Properties III, the Operating Partnership and the Company from making Restricted Payments (as defined below) without the prior consent of the required Carillon Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Company may pay the Advisor 90% of the asset management fees associated with Carillon (“Permitted Asset Management Fees”) (with the remaining 10% of the asset management fees associated with Carillon being deferred until the Carillon Borrower has paid in full its obligations under the Carillon Mortgage Loan) and (ii) the Carillon Borrower may distribute to the Company certain REIT-level general and administrative expenses allocated to Carillon, provided that in each case no such payments may be made without the consent of the required Carillon Lenders during the occurrence and continuance of a noticed default that has not been cured or waived, if the Carillon Agent has delivered to the Carillon Borrower a reservation of rights or similar letter relating to a default that has not been waived or if the Carillon Agent determines a monthly operating shortfall exists at Carillon. Further, provided no event of default exists, REIT Properties III, the Operating Partnership and the Company may make Restricted Payments as necessary for the Company to maintain its status as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes and to avoid any liability for federal and state income or excise taxes. “Restricted Payments” include (a) any distribution, dividend or redemption with respect to any equity interests in the Carillon Borrower or the direct or indirect owners of the Carillon Borrower, (b) any payment on account of the purchase, redemption, cancellation or termination of any equity interests in the Carillon Borrower or the direct or indirect owners of the Carillon Borrower or any option, warrant or other right to acquire any equity interest in the Carillon Borrower or any direct or indirect owners of the Carillon Borrower, or (c) any other payment by the Carillon Borrower to (i) its direct or indirect owners or (ii) any person that controls the Carillon Borrower including, without limitation, the payment of any asset management fees or general or administrative expenses, provided that asset management fees and REIT-level general and administrative costs and expenses allocable to properties other than Carillon may be paid using sources other than those derived from Carillon. The Carillon Third Modification Agreement requires the Carillon Borrower to maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio and REIT Properties III, as guarantor, to satisfy the EBITDA to interest charges ratio covenant, commencing with the March 31, 2025 calendar quarter reporting period. Additionally, the Carillon Third Modification Agreement provides that a default will occur under the Carillon Mortgage Loan if a written demand for payment following a default is delivered to REIT Properties III and not paid when due under (i) any loan facility under which REIT Properties III is a guarantor or borrower or (ii) any other indebtedness of REIT Properties III where the demand made is greater than $5.0 million and the required Carillon Lenders elect to call a default.
