(b) The revolving credit facility is subject to a one-year extension at the Company’s option. (c) The interest rates on these term loans consist of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a credit spread based on the Company’s leverage ratio, for which the Company has interest rate swap agreements which convert the LIBOR rates to fixed rates. Accordingly, these term loans are presented as fixed-rate debt. (d) The current interest rate swap agreement expires in February 2020 at which time a new interest rate swap agreement will begin resulting in an effective interest ratio of 3.3%, based on the Company’s leverage ratio at June 30, 2019. Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $117.4 million available for additional borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The Company has a $300 million unsecured credit facility which, as amended and restated on September 8, 2017, consists of (1) a $250 million revolving credit facility, expiring on September 8, 2021, and (2) a $50 million term loan, expiring on September 8, 2022. The revolving credit facility may be extended, at the Company’s option, for an additional one-year period, subject to customary conditions. Under an accordion feature, the facility can be increased to $750 million, subject to customary conditions and lending commitments. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility component can range from LIBOR plus 135 bps to 195 bps (150 bps at June 30, 2019) and interest on borrowings under the term loan component can range from LIBOR plus 130 to 190 bps (145 bps at June 30, 2019), each based on the Company’s leverage ratio. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the weighted average interest rate for the Company’s unsecured credit facilities increased 14 bps (ranging from an increase of 10 bps to 15 bps for each individual borrowing) as a result of a slight increase in the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company’s unsecured credit facility and term loans contain financial covenants including, but not limited to, maximum debt leverage, maximum secured debt, minimum fixed charge coverage, and minimum net worth. In addition, the facility contains restrictions including, but not limited to, limits on indebtedness, certain investments and distributions. Although the credit facility is unsecured, borrowing availability is based on unencumbered property adjusted net operating income, as defined in the agreements. The Company’s failure to comply with the covenants or the occurrence of an event of default under the facilities could result in the acceleration of the related debt and exercise of other lender remedies. As of June 30, 2019, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants. Interest on borrowings under the unsecured credit facility and term loans are based on the Company’s leverage ratio. Derivative Financial Instruments The fair values of the interest rate swaps applicable to the unsecured term loans discussed above are included in other assets and deferred charges, net, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2019. Charges and/or credits relating to the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are made to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), limited partners’ interest, or operations (included in interest expense), as applicable. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into earnings as an increase or reduction to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. The Company estimates that approximately $0.3 million of accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified as an increase to earnings within the next twelve months.
