GE Portfolio Acquisition Facility

During the second quarter of 2015, concurrently with our acquisition of the GE portfolio, we entered into an agreement with Wells Fargo to provide us with secured financing for the acquired portfolio. As of June 30, 2017, this facility provided for $1.3 billion of financing, of which $1.2 billion was outstanding and an additional $142.6 million was available to finance future loan fundings in the GE portfolio. The GE portfolio acquisition facility is non-revolving and consists of a single master repurchase agreement providing for asset-specific borrowings for each collateral asset.

 

The asset-specific borrowings under the GE portfolio acquisition facility were advanced at a weighted-average rate of 80% of our purchase price of the collateral assets and are repaid pro rata from collateral asset repayment proceeds. The asset-specific borrowings are currency matched to the collateral assets and accrue interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the applicable base rate plus (ii) a margin of 1.75%, which will increase to 1.80% and 1.85% in year four and year five, respectively. As of June 30, 2017, those borrowings were denominated in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, and British Pounds Sterling. The asset-specific borrowings are term matched to the underlying collateral assets with an outside maturity date of May 20, 2020, which may be extended pursuant to two one-year extension options. We guarantee obligations under the GE portfolio acquisition facility in an amount equal to the greater of (i) 25% of outstanding asset-specific borrowings, and (ii) $250.0 million. We had outstanding asset-specific borrowings under the GE portfolio acquisition facility of $1.2 billion and a weighted-average all-in cost of credit, including associated fees and expenses, of LIBOR plus 1.80% per annum as of June 30, 2017, compared to $1.5 billion of outstanding asset-specific borrowings and a weighted-average all-in cost of credit, including associated fees and expenses, of LIBOR plus 1.83% per annum as of December 31, 2016.

These floating rate loans and related liabilities are indexed to the various benchmark rates relevant in each arrangement in terms of currency and payment frequency. Therefore the net exposure to each benchmark rate is in direct proportion to our net assets indexed to that rate. In addition to cash coupon, yield/cost includes the amortization of deferred origination fees / financing costs.

Other than amounts guaranteed on an asset-by-asset basis, borrowings under our asset-specific financings are non-recourse to us.

Revolving Credit Agreement

During the second quarter of 2017, we increased the borrowing capacity under our secured revolving credit agreement with Barclays by $125.0 million to $250.0 million. This full recourse facility is designed to finance first mortgage originations for up to six months as a bridge to term financing or syndication. Advances under the agreement are subject to availability under a specified borrowing base and accrue interest at a per annum pricing rate equal to the sum of (i) an applicable base rate or Eurodollar rate and (ii) an applicable margin, in each case, dependent on the applicable type of loan collateral. The maturity date of the facility is April 4, 2020.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the weighted-average outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit agreement were $1.0 million and we recorded interest expense of $589,000, including $332,000 of amortization of deferred fees and expenses. As of June 30, 2017, we had $90.8 million of borrowings outstanding under the agreement.

During the six months ended December 31, 2016, the weighted-average outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit agreement were $29.9 million and we recorded interest expense of $927,000, including $255,000 of amortization of deferred fees and expenses. As of December 31, 2016 we had no outstanding borrowings under the agreement.

Debt Covenants

Each of the guarantees related to our secured debt agreements contain the following uniform financial covenants: (i) our ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or EBITDA, to fixed charges, as defined in the agreements, shall be not less than 1.4 to 1.0; (ii) our tangible net worth, as defined in the agreements, shall not be less than $1.9 billion as of each measurement date plus 75% of the net cash proceeds of future equity issuances subsequent to June 30, 2017; (iii) cash liquidity shall not be less than the greater of (x) $10.0 million or (y) 5% of our recourse indebtedness; and (iv) our indebtedness shall not exceed 83.33% of our total assets. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we were in compliance with these covenants.
