On December 20, 2016, the Company, through indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the OP, entered into a mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) in the aggregate amount of $500.0 million and a mezzanine loan (the “Mezzanine Loan” and, together with the Mortgage Loan, the “POL Loans”) in the aggregate amount of $260.0 million. The POL Loans are secured directly, in the case of the mortgage loan, and indirectly in the case of the mezzanine loan, by our properties located in New York, New York at 245-249 216-218 382-384 416-425 At the closing of the POL Loans, a portion of the net proceeds after closing costs was used to repay the $485.0 million principal amount then outstanding under the Company’s credit facility. As of December 31, 2016, the $260.0 million proceeds from the Mezzanine Loan were held in an escrow account by the servicer of the POL Loans and were recorded as a receivable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Subsequently, on January 9, 2017, the $260.0 million proceeds were deposited into an operating account that may be used by the Company to purchase the additional equity interests in Worldwide Plaza in connection with its exercise of the WWP Option. See Note 7. Prior to the repayment in full of the credit facility, all of the POL Loan Properties were included as part of the borrowing base thereunder. The Mortgage Loan requires monthly interest payments at an initial weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.38% and the Mezzanine Loan requires monthly interest payments at an initial weighted average interest rate of LIBOR plus 5.65%. The LIBOR portions of the interest rates due under the POL Loans are capped at 3.0% pursuant to interest rate cap agreements. The POL Loans mature in December 2017. The POL Loans include one option to extend the maturity date for one year, if certain conditions are met including a debt yield test, and subject to a 0.25% increase in the applicable monthly interest rate payable. The POL Loans are recourse to the Company and may be accelerated only in the event of a default. The POL Loans may be prepaid, in whole or in part, without payment of any prepayment premium or spread maintenance premium or any other fee or penalty. In connection with a sale or disposition of an individual POL Loan Property to a third party, such POL Loan Property may be released from the collateral securing the Mortgage Loan, subject to certain conditions, by prepayment of a release price (the “Release Amount”) as defined in the Mortgage Loan agreements. In certain instances, 110% of the Release Amount will be required to be paid in order to release the property. Concurrently with the payment of the Release Amount, the borrower entity under the Mezzanine Loan is obligated to prepay a corresponding portion of the Mezzanine Loan, in accordance with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan, for which it will receive a release of a corresponding portion of the collateral under the Mezzanine Loan. Concurrently with the POL Loans, the Company entered into guaranty agreements with respect to the POL Loans that requires the Company to maintain, (i) on a consolidated basis, a minimum net worth of $300.0 million, which minimum net worth will be reduced pro rata with any prepayment of the POL Loans once the outstanding principal amount of the POL Loans is less than $300.0 million, but in no event will the minimum net worth be reduced below $150.0 million, and (ii) liquid assets having a market value of at least $25.0 million, which minimum market value of liquid assets may be reduced to $15.0 million in the event the outstanding amount under the POL Loans is equal to or less than $100.0 million. On September 30, 2015, in connection with the mortgage notes payable secured by its property located at 1440 Broadway, the Company executed guarantees in favor of the lenders with respect to the costs of certain unfunded obligations of the Company related to tenant allowances, capital expenditures and leasing costs, which guarantees are capped at $5.3 million in the aggregate. The guarantees expire in October 2019, the maturity date of the 1440 Broadway mortgage. As of March 31, 2017, the Company has not been required to perform under the guarantees and has not recognized any assets or liabilities related to the guarantees. Some of the Company’s mortgage note agreements require compliance with certain property-level financial covenants including debt service coverage ratios. As of March 31, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants under its mortgage note agreements. |
