Revolving Credit Agreement
We are a party to the Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2021, with several financial institutions, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $1.1825 billion revolving credit facility, which can be increased at the request of the Company by up to $95.0 million, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement matures on April 28, 2029 with respect to $972.5 million, or 82.2%, of the $1.1825 billion of commitments thereunder and on April 28, 2028 with respect to 17.8% of the commitments thereunder.
Before each anniversary of the Credit Agreement, we may request a one-year extension of its maturity date. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by, among others, each of our subsidiaries that have gross assets of at least $0.5 million, other than subsidiaries whose sole purpose is to own and operate single-family rental homes.
The borrowings and letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement, together with the outstanding principal balance of our 8.750% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Notes”), our 4.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”) and our 7.000% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Senior Notes”), may not exceed the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement. The borrowing base primarily consists of a percentage of commercial land, land held for development, lots under development and finished lots held by the Company and its subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations under the Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2026, the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement was $2.0 billion, of which the maximum available to borrow was $2.0 billion. As of March 31, 2026, borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the outstanding principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes, the 2029 Senior Notes and the 2032 Senior Notes totaled approximately $1.7 billion, $19.3 million of letters of credit were outstanding and $294.2 million was available to borrow under the Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, payable monthly in arrears, at the Company’s option, at either (1) the Adjusted Term SOFR (defined as a term SOFR that is based on a fixed 1, 3 or 6 month interest period, as selected by the Company, plus a 10, 15 or 25 basis point adjustment, respectively), which rate is subject to a 50 basis point floor, plus an applicable margin ranging from 145 basis points to 210 basis points (the “Applicable Margin”) based on the Company’s leverage ratio as determined in accordance with a pricing grid, or (2) the Base Rate (defined as a term SOFR that is based on a daily variable 1 month interest period plus a 10 basis point adjustment), subject to a 50 basis point floor, plus the Applicable Margin. At March 31, 2026, the Applicable Margin was 1.85%, and SOFR was 3.67%, subject to the 0.50% SOFR floor as included in the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement contains various financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth, a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum liquidity amount and a minimum EBITDA to interest expense ratio. The Credit Agreement contains various covenants that, among other restrictions, (i) limit the amount of our additional debt and our ability to make certain investments and (ii) restrict the repurchase of shares and payment of dividends through December 31, 2026. At March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.
LGI Living Loan Agreement
On July 23, 2025, the Company’s indirect, wholly owned special purpose subsidiary LGI Living - SFR 1, LLC (“LGI Living SFR”) entered into a Loan Agreement (the “LGI Living Loan Agreement”) with Evergreen Residential Capital, LLC, as lender. The LGI Living Loan Agreement provides for a secured non-recourse loan for up to $50.0 million, which can be increased at the request of LGI Living SFR by up to $75.0 million (for a total of $125.0 million), subject to the terms and conditions of the LGI Living Loan Agreement.
As of March 31, 2026, the total amount of borrowings outstanding under the LGI Living Loan Agreement was $50.0 million. The loan matures on July 8, 2030 and bears interest at a rate of 6.433% per annum, which may be adjusted in connection with an increase in the amount of the loan. The loan is unconditionally guaranteed as to payment and performance by the Company under a limited recourse guaranty with respect to (i) certain losses and liabilities to the extent such losses or liabilities are actually incurred by the lender and (ii) the entire amount of the loan upon the occurrence of certain events. The LGI Living Loan Agreement requires that the Company, as guarantor, maintain (i) liquidity of not less than 15% of the loan amount and (ii) net worth in excess of 50% of the loan amount.
The loan is unconditionally guaranteed as to payment and performance by LGI Living - ER FIN, LLC, as the direct owner of the equity interests in LGI Living SFR, but recourse under such guaranty is limited to LGI Living - ER FIN, LLC’s equity interests in LGI Living SFR, which are pledged as collateral for the loan. The loan is also secured by a security interest in all assets of LGI Living SFR, including a mortgage lien on certain of LGI Living SFR’s real property. The LGI Living Loan Agreement includes certain restrictive covenants that may limit LGI Living SFR’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or make certain investments. The LGI Living Loan Agreement contains representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, and events of default, all of which the Company believes are customary for special purpose subsidiary real estate secured loan agreements. If an event of default exists under the LGI Living Loan Agreement, the lender will be able
to accelerate the maturity of the loan and exercise other rights and remedies. At March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the LGI Living Loan Agreement.
