Secured and Unsecured Debt of the Company

Secured and Unsecured Debt of the Company

In this Note 8, the “Company” refers solely to Kilroy Realty Corporation and not to any of our subsidiaries. The Company itself does not hold any indebtedness. All of our secured and unsecured debt is held directly by the Operating Partnership.

The Company generally guarantees all the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt obligations including the unsecured revolving credit facility, the unsecured term loan facility and all of the unsecured senior notes. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Operating Partnership had $3.7 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively, outstanding in total, including unamortized discounts and deferred financing costs, under these unsecured debt obligations.

In addition, although the remaining $0.3 billion of the Operating Partnership’s debt as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, is secured and non-recourse to the Company, the Company provides limited customary secured debt guarantees for items such as voluntary bankruptcy, fraud, misapplication of payments and environmental liabilities.

Debt Covenants and Restrictions

One of the covenants contained within the unsecured revolving credit facility as discussed further below in Note 9 prohibits the Company from paying dividends during an event of default in excess of an amount which results in distributions to us in an amount sufficient to permit us to pay dividends to our stockholders that we reasonably believe are necessary to (a) maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal and state income tax purposes and (b) avoid the payment of federal or state income or excise tax.
