The Company estimates the fair value of its total debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by the Company’s lenders using Level 3 inputs. The carrying value of the Company’s debt excluding unamortized debt issuance costs was $ 842,851 and $ 847,019 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and its estimated fair value was $ 837,499 and $ 841,313 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, scheduled principal payments and maturities on the Company’s debt were as follows: June 30, 2024 Scheduled Principal Payments and Maturities by Year: Scheduled Maturities of Mortgage Loans Maturity of Credit Facility Total 2024 (remainder of the year) $ 173 $ — $ — $ 173 2025 295 92,656 — 92,951 2026 — 44,727 130,000 174,727 2027 — — 575,000 575,000 2028 — — — — Thereafter — — — — Total $ 468 $ 137,383 $ 705,000 $ 842,851 Credit Facility Payable On February 3, 2022, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with KeyBank National Association, individually and as administrative agent, KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., PNC Capital Markets LLC and BofA Securities, Inc., as joint lead arrangers, and other lenders from time to time parties to the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Facility”). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the aggregate total commitments under the Credit Facility were increased from $ 350,000 to $ 475,000 . The Credit Facility consists of the “Revolving Credit Facility” providing revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount of $ 200,000 and a term loan facility (the term loans funded under such commitments, the “Term Loan”) providing term loan commitments in an aggregate amount of $ 275,000 (increased from $ 150,000 ). On May 17, 2022, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement Regarding Incremental Term Loans (the “First Amendment”), amending the terms of the Credit Agreement primarily to draw an additional $ 300,000 . The Credit Agreement provides the Company with the ability from time to time to increase the size of the Credit Facility up to a total of $ 1,200,000 , subject to certain conditions. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on February 3, 2026 , and the Company has the option to extend the maturity date for one additional year subject to the payment of an extension fee and certain other conditions. The Term Loan matures on February 3, 2027 . Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest equal to one-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin, the amount of which depends on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $ 130,000 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $ 575,000 outstanding under the Term Loan. As of June 30, 2024, the interest rates on the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan were 7.34 % and 4.39 % , respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a maximum amount of $ 70,000 available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement that governs the Credit Facility, including compliance with the covenants which could further limit the amount available. Although all of the amount available under the Revolving Credit Facility is available to pay off existing mortgages, due to the covenant limitations, the Company expects to have substantially less than all $ 70,000 available to draw or otherwise undertake as additional debt. The Company’s performance of the obligations under the Credit Facility, including the payment of any outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility, is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company, including each of the subsidiaries of the Company which owns or leases any of the properties included in the pool of unencumbered properties comprising the borrowing base. Additional properties will be added to and removed from the pool from time to time to support amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility so long as at any time there are at least fifteen unencumbered properties with an unencumbered pool value of $ 300,000 or more. As of June 30, 2024, there were 47 properties included in the pool of unencumbered properties. The Credit Facility requires compliance with certain covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth requirement, a limitation on the use of leverage, a distribution limitation, restrictions on indebtedness and investment restrictions, as defined. It also contains customary default provisions including the failure to comply with the Company's covenants and the failure to pay when amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility become due. As of June 30, 2024 , the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants related to the Credit Facility as amended. Mortgages Payable The Company’s mortgage loans require compliance with certain covenants, such as debt service ratios, investment restrictions and distribution limitations. As of June 30, 2024 , the Company was current on all of its debt service payments and in compliance with all financial covenants . All of the Company’s mortgage loans are secured by first mortgages on the respective real estate assets. As of June 30, 2024, the weighted average years to maturity for the Company’s mortgages payable was 1.5 years. There are no mortgage loans maturing in the next twelve months. Interest Rate Swap Agreements The Company entered into interest rate swaps to fix certain of its floating SOFR based debt under variable rate loans to a fixed rate to manage its risk exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company will generally match the maturity of the underlying variable rate debt with the maturity date on the interest swap. See Note 13 – “Fair Value Measurements” for further information. As of June 30, 2024 , the Company had hedged all of its variable rate mortgage loans of $ 26,000 and $ 525,000 of the Term Loan using interest rate swap contracts.
