TAMPA - Sila Realty Trust, Inc. (the 'Company'), a net lease real estate investment trust focused on investing in high quality healthcare properties across the continuum of care, today announced the closing of an Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (the 'Term Loan').
The Term Loan initially matures March 2027, and includes two twelve-month extension options that can be exercised at the Company's election.
The Term Loan, which was fully funded at closing, is made up of aggregate commitments of $250,000,000, which may be increased through an accordion feature, subject to lender approval, to an aggregate amount of up to $500,000,000. The Term Loan was entered into to replace the Company's prior term loan agreement, which was due to mature in December 2024, and was paid off in its entirety upon closing of the Term Loan. The Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate of term SOFR or daily simple SOFR, at the Company's election, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.90%, depending on the Company's leverage. The Term Loan is fully hedged through interest rate swap agreements, yielding an all-in rate of 2.3%, through December 2024.
The Company entered into the Term Loan with Truist Bank, as the Administrative Agent, and Truist Securities, Inc., Wells Fargo Securities LLC, and BofA Securities, Inc. as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Runners. The Huntington National Bank, Renasant Bank, and Hancock Whitney Bank acted as Co-Documentation Agents.
'We are pleased to announce the closing of the new Term Loan during these more challenging times in the debt capital markets, as underwriting standards have tightened and deal activity has slowed,' stated Kay C. Neely, the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. 'Our long-term relationships with our lenders, as well as their belief in our strong credit quality, resulted in an oversubscribed syndication. We sincerely appreciate the continued support of our lenders and their confidence in our Company.'
