Unsecured Credit Facility. Through the first quarter of 2024, we had an unsecured credit agreement (the “Original Credit Agreement”) that provided for an aggregate commitment of the lenders of up to $500,000,000 comprising of a $400,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Line of Credit”) and two $50,000,000 term loans (the “Term Loans”). The Term Loans mature on November 19, 2025 and November 19, 2026. The Revolving Line of Credit had a maturity date of November 19, 2025 and provided a one-year extension option at our discretion, subject to customary conditions. During the first quarter of 2024, we entered into an amendment to the Original Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) to accelerate our one-year extension option notice and exercised our option to extend the maturity date to November 19, 2026. Other material terms of the Original Credit Agreement remained unchanged. The Credit Agreement permitted us to request increases to the Revolving Line of Credit and Term Loans commitments up to a total of $1,000,000,000 (the “Accordion”). As permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we exercised $25,000,000 of the available $500,000,000 Accordion feature of the Revolving Line of Credit during the third quarter of 2024. Accordingly, the aggregate commitment of the lenders under the Credit Agreement increased to $525,000,000, with $475,000,000 remaining available under the Accordion. The exercise of the Accordion did not change any other term or condition of the Credit Agreement, including its maturity date or covenant requirements. Based on our leverage at June 30, 2025, the facility provides for interest annually at Adjusted SOFR plus 110 basis points and a facility fee of 15 basis points and the Term Loans provide for interest annually at Adjusted SOFR plus 125 basis points. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, we entered into a new four-year unsecured credit agreement (“New Credit Agreement”) maturing in July 2029, to replace our previous Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement increased the aggregate commitment on our revolving line of credit from $425,000,000 to $600,000,000 and provides for the opportunity to increase the total commitment to an aggregate $1,200,000,000. The New Credit Agreement provides for a one-year extension option, subject to customary conditions. Material terms of the New Credit Agreement remain unchanged. In connection with the New Credit Agreement, the Term Loans were rolled into the new revolving line of credit, keeping the interest rate swap agreements intact at an average 2.3% rate, based on current margins. Interest Rate Swap Agreements. In connection with entering into the Term Loans described above, we entered into two receive variable/pay fixed interest rate swap agreements (the “Interest Rate Swaps”) with maturities of November 19, 2025 and November 19, 2026, respectively, that will effectively lock-in the forecasted interest payments on the Term Loans’ borrowings over their four and five year terms of the loans. The Interest Rate Swaps are considered cash flow hedges and are recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value in Prepaid expenses and other assets, with cumulative changes in the fair value of these instruments recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded a decrease of $1,627,000 and $145,000 in fair value of Interest Rate Swaps, respectively. As discussed above, subsequent to June 30, 2025, the Term Loans were paid off using proceeds from our new revolving line of credit under our New Credit Agreement, keeping the interest rate swap agreements intact through November 2025 at 2.3% and November 2026 at 2.4%, based on current margins.

Senior Unsecured Notes. We have senior unsecured notes held by institutional investors with interest rates ranging from 3.66% to 4.50%. The senior unsecured notes mature between 2026 and 2033. The senior unsecured notes and the Credit Agreement, including the Revolving Line of Credit and the Term Loans, contain financial covenants, which are measured quarterly, that require us to maintain, among other things: | ● | a ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value not greater than 0.6 to 1.0; |
| ● | a ratio of secured debt to total asset value not greater than 0.35 to 1.0; |
| ● | a ratio of unsecured debt to the value of the unencumbered asset value not greater than 0.6 to 1.0; and |
| ● | a ratio of EBITDA, as calculated in the debt obligation, to fixed charges not less than 1.50 to 1.0. |
At June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants. These debt obligations also contain additional customary covenants and events of default that are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions.
