Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On December 21, 2005, Eagle Hospitality Properties Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a $110 million senior unsecured credit facility by and among U.S. Bank, as the Administrative Agent, Key Bank, as the Syndication Agent, and LaSalle Bank, as the Documentation Agent (the “Credit Agreement”). Other participating banks include Harris Nesbitt, Merrill Lynch Capital and Wachovia Bank N.A. The Credit Agreement, which can be increased at our option to $200 million, matures January 1, 2009 and has a one-year extension option. The interest on the facility is based on a spread over LIBOR of 160 basis points to 325 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage levels. Based on the Company’s current leverage, the current rate is LIBOR plus 225 basis points.
As a result of the new facility, the Company has no significant debt on its balance sheet maturing within the next three years.
As of December 21, 2005, the Company had total outstanding debt of approximately $211.3 million, of which $22.5 million is outstanding on the new unsecured credit facility.
