(3) $120,000 of LIBOR-based variable rate debt has been swapped to a fixed rate 1.68% plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid ranging from 1.20% to 1.70% through July 17, 2024. The applicable credit spread was 1.20% as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) replaced LIBOR as the interest reference rate for this term loan. (4) $250,000 of LIBOR-based variable rate debt has been swapped to a fixed rate of 5.09% through October 24, 2025. (5) The maturity date of the term loan may be extended for up to three additional periods of one year at the Operating Partnership’s option, subject to certain conditions. (6) $150,000 of LIBOR-based variable rate debt has been swapped to a fixed rate 1.77% plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid ranging from 1.20% to 1.70% through July 17, 2026. The applicable credit spread was 1.20% as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, SOFR replaced LIBOR as the interest reference rate for this term loan. (7) The revolving line of credit has two six-month extension options that the Company can exercise, at its election, subject to (i) customary representations and warranties, including, but not limited to, the absence of an event of default as defined in the unsecured credit agreement and (ii) payment of an extension fee equal to 0.075% of the revolving line of credit capacity. Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility On October 22, 2021, in connection with the Merger, the Operating Partnership (as successor by merger to RPAI), as borrower, and the Company entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement (as defined below) with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto. The First Amendment amends the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 8, 2021 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), among RPAI, as borrower, KeyBank, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto, which provides for an $850.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) with a scheduled maturity date of January 8, 2026 (which maturity date may be extended for up to two additional periods of six months at the Operating Partnership’s option, subject to certain conditions). Under the Credit Agreement, the Operating Partnership has the option to increase the Revolving Facility to an aggregate committed amount of $1.6 billion upon the Operating Partnership’s request, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the Credit Agreement, to provide such increased amounts. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR or the alternate base rate plus a margin based on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio or credit rating, respectively, plus a facility fee based on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio or credit rating, respectively. The Revolving Facility is currently priced on the leverage-based pricing grid. In accordance with the Credit Agreement, the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resets quarterly based on the Company’s leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end. The Company may irrevocably elect to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid at any time. As of June 30, 2022, making such an election would have resulted in a lower interest rate; however, the Company had not made the election to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid. The Credit Agreement includes a sustainability metric based on targeted greenhouse gas emission reductions, which results in a reduction of the otherwise applicable interest rate margin by one basis point upon achievement of targets set forth therein. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, SOFR replaced LIBOR as the interest reference rate for the Revolving Facility. The following table summarizes the key terms of the Revolving Facility as of June 30, 2022: (in thousands) Leverage-Based Pricing Investment Grade Pricing Credit Agreement Maturity Date Extension Option Extension Fee Credit Spread Facility Fee Credit Spread Facility Fee $850,000 unsecured revolving line of credit 1/8/2026 2 six 0.075% 1.05%–1.50% 0.15%–0.30% 0.725%–1.40% 0.125%–0.30% The Operating Partnership’s ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement is subject to ongoing compliance by the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries with various restrictive covenants, including with respect to liens, transactions with affiliates, dividends, mergers and asset sales. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that the Operating Partnership satisfy certain financial covenants, including (i) a maximum leverage ratio; (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio; (iii) a maximum secured indebtedness ratio; (iv) a maximum unsecured leverage ratio; and (v) a minimum unencumbered interest coverage ratio. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all such covenants. As of June 30, 2022, we had letters of credit outstanding which totaled $1.5 million, against which no amounts were advanced as of June 30, 2022. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Operating Partnership entered into the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions to provide for (i) a $250.0 million increase to the Revolving Facility, resulting in a $1.1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2022 Revolving Facility”) and (ii) a seven-year $300.0 million unsecured term loan (the “$300M Term Loan”). Under the Second Amendment, the Operating Partnership has the option, subject to certain customary conditions, to increase the 2022 Revolving Facility and/or incur additional term loans in an aggregate amount for all such increases and additional loans of up to $600.0 million, for a total facility amount of up to $2.0 billion. Borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus a margin based on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio or credit rating, respectively. There were no changes to the credit spreads in the Second Amendment; however, the SOFR rate will also be subject to an additional 0.10% spread adjustment as specified in the Second Amendment. The $300M Term Loan will be priced on a ratings-based pricing grid at a rate of SOFR plus a credit spread ranging from 1.15% to 2.20%. The SOFR rate will also be subject to an additional 0.10% spread adjustment as specified in the Second Amendment. Proceeds from the $300M Term Loan were used to repay the Operating Partnership’s existing $200.0 million unsecured term loan that was scheduled to mature on November 22, 2023 (the “$200M Term Loan”) and for general corporate purposes. In conjunction with these transactions, we (i) designated the interest rate swaps related to the $200M Term Loan to the $300M Term Loan and the interest reference rate will be replaced with term SOFR effective with the next reset date in August 2022 through November 22, 2023; (ii) entered into two forward-starting interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts totaling $200.0 million that swap a floating rate of term SOFR to a fixed rate of 2.37% plus a spread of 1.35% with an effective date of November 22, 2023 through August 1, 2025; and (iii) entered into two agreements to swap a total of $100.0 million of SOFR-based variable rate debt to a fixed rate of 2.66% plus a spread of 1.35% with an effective date of August 1, 2022 through August, 1, 2025. The Operating Partnership is permitted to prepay the $300M Term Loan in whole or in part, at any time, subject to a prepayment fee if prepaid on or before July 29, 2024. Unsecured Term Loans On October 22, 2021, in connection with the Merger, the Operating Partnership (as successor by merger to RPAI) assumed all of RPAI’s outstanding $470.0 million aggregate principal of unsecured term loans (“Unsecured Term Loans”). The Unsecured Term Loans are currently priced on a leverage-based pricing grid. In accordance with the respective term loan agreements, the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resets quarterly based on the Company’s leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end. The Company may irrevocably elect to convert to a ratings-based pricing grid at any time. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had not made the election to convert to a ratings-based pricing grid. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Company made the election to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid with respect to the $120.0 million and $150.0 million term loans. The following table summarizes the key terms of the Unsecured Term Loans assumed as of June 30, 2022: (in thousands) Unsecured Term Loans Assumed Maturity Date Leverage-Based Pricing Investment Grade Pricing $200,000 unsecured term loan due 2023 11/22/2023 1.20% – 1.85% 0.85% – 1.65% $120,000 unsecured term loan due 2024 7/17/2024 1.20% – 1.70% 0.80% – 1.65% $150,000 unsecured term loan due 2026 7/17/2026 1.20% – 1.70% 0.75% – 1.60% Under the agreement related to the $120.0 million and $150.0 million term loans, the Operating Partnership has the option to increase each of the term loans to $250.0 million upon the Operating Partnership’s request, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the term loan agreement, to provide such increased amounts. In addition, under the agreement related to the $200.0 million term loan, the Operating Partnership has the option to increase the term loan to $300.0 million upon the Operating Partnership’s request, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the term loan agreement, to provide such increased amounts. The agreements related to the Unsecured Term Loans assumed in the Merger contain representations, financial and other affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are substantially similar to those contained in the Credit Agreement. The agreement related to the $150.0 million term loan includes a sustainability metric based on targeted greenhouse gas emission reductions, which results in a reduction of the otherwise applicable interest rate margin by one basis point upon achievement of targets set forth therein. On October 25, 2018, the Operating Partnership entered into a Term Loan Agreement (the “Agreement”) with KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders party thereto, providing for an unsecured term loan facility of up to $250.0 million (the “$250M Term Loan”). The $250M Term Loan ranks pari passu with the Operating Partnership’s existing Revolving Facility and other unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership. The $250M Term Loan has a scheduled maturity date of October 24, 2025, which maturity date may be extended for up to three additional periods of one year at the Operating Partnership’s option, subject to certain conditions. The Operating Partnership has the option to increase the $250M Term Loan to $300.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the Agreement, to provide such increased amounts. The Operating Partnership is permitted to prepay the $250M Term Loan in whole or in part, at any time, subject to a prepayment fee if prepaid on or before October 25, 2023. Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective loan agreements.
