On January 22, 2026, the Operating Partnership announced the execution of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the ?Restated Credit Agreement?) with various financial institutions, including Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the administrative agent. The Restated Credit Agreement amends the previous First Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement from August 9, 2022, reducing the available amount under the Revolving Credit Facility from $800 million to $700 million and extending its term to June 28, 2030. Additionally, a new term loan facility, the ?Five Year Term Facility,?
was established with an available amount of $125 million, maturing on June 30, 2031. The agreement includes provisions for multiple draws, an accordion feature allowing for increased unsecured indebtedness, and various financial covenants that the Operating Partnership must adhere to. The obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement are senior unsecured obligations, and the Operating Partnership is not required to repay any loans prior to maturity.
The agreement also outlines the interest rates applicable to the loans, which can be based on either a Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or a base rate, with margins determined by the Operating Partnership's leverage ratio. The company also announced that it has entered into $950 million of unsecured credit facilities that expand its borrowing capacity by $150 million and provide extended maturities. The new unsecured credit facilities (collectively, the "credit facilities") are comprised of: An unsecured revolving credit facility that reduced the Company?s existing $800 million unsecured revolving credit facility to $700 million, extending the existing maturity date from February 2027 to June 2030 with two 6-month extension options; and $250 million of delayed-draw term loan facilities (?Term Loans?), split into $125 million 5-year and 7-year components, with the 5-year loan maturing in June 2031 and the 7-year loan maturing in January 2033.
Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate of SOFR plus a spread determined by the Company's leverage ratio which currently equates to SOFR plus 1.00%, with an annual facility fee of 0.15%, subject to adjustment based on the current leverage ratio as defined in the facility agreement. The credit facilities have accordion features under which the Company may increase the maximum amount available under the credit facilities to a total of $1.275 billion, subject to lender consent. The Term Loans have a delayed-draw feature allowing multiple drawdowns for twelve months after closing which bear interest at SOFR plus a spread determined by the Company's leverage ratio and which currently equate to SOFR plus 1.15% for the 5-year term loan and SOFR plus 1.50% for the 7-year term loan.
No amounts are currently drawn on the line of credit or on the Term Loans. The Company expects to use future proceeds for working capital purposes as it executes on its growth plans.
