Loans and finance receivables (Continued)

We are party to an agreement with Seritage Growth Properties to provide a $2.0 billion term loan facility, which expires on July 31, 2023. The outstanding loan under the facility was approximately $1.6 billion at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and is secured by mortgages on real estate properties. In 2020, we provided a loan to Lee Enterprises, Inc. in connection with its acquisition of our newspaper operations and the repayment by Lee of its then outstanding credit facilities. The loan balance as of December 31, 2020 was $524 million. We are the sole lender to each of these entities and each of these loans is current as to payment status.
