Explanatory Notes: _______________________________________________________________________________
Future Scheduled Maturities—As of June 30, 2013, future scheduled maturities of outstanding debt obligations are as follows ($ in thousands):
February 2013 Secured Credit Facility—On February 11, 2013, the Company entered into a $1.71 billion senior secured credit facility due October 15, 2017 (the “February 2013 Secured Credit Facility”) that amended and restated its $1.82 billion senior secured credit facility, dated October 15, 2012 (the “October 2012 Secured Credit Facility”). The February 2013 Credit Facility amended the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility by: (i) reducing the interest rate from LIBOR plus 4.50%, with a 1.25% LIBOR floor, to LIBOR plus 3.50%, with a 1.00% LIBOR floor; and (ii) extending the call protection period for the lenders from October 15, 2013 to December 31, 2013. Borrowings under the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility are collateralized by a first lien on a fixed pool of assets, with required minimum collateral coverage of not less than 125% of outstanding borrowings. If collateral coverage is less than 137.5% of outstanding borrowings, 100% of the proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral will be applied to repay outstanding borrowings under the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility. For so long as collateral coverage is between 137.5% and 150% of outstanding borrowings, 50% of proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral will be applied to repay outstanding borrowings under the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility and for so long as collateral coverage is greater than 150% of outstanding borrowings, the Company may retain all proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral. The Company retains proceeds from interest, rent, lease payments and fee income in all cases. In connection with the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility transaction, the Company incurred $17.1 million of lender fees, of which $14.4 million was capitalized in "Debt Obligations, net" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and $2.7 million was recorded in "Gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, net" on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations as it related to the lenders who did not participate in the new facility. The Company also incurred $3.8 million in third party fees, of which $3.6 million was recognized in “Other expense” on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, as it related primarily to those lenders from the original facility that modified their debt under the new facility, and $0.2 million was recorded in “Deferred expenses and other assets, net” on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, as it related to the new lenders. The February 2013 Secured Credit Facility contains certain covenants relating to the collateral, among other matters, but does not contain corporate level financial covenants. For so long as the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT, it is permitted to distribute 100% of its REIT taxable income on an annual basis. In addition, the Company may distribute to its stockholders real estate assets, or interests therein, having an aggregate equity value not to exceed $200 million, that are not collateral securing the borrowings under the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility. Except for the distribution of real estate assets described in the preceding sentence, the Company may not pay common dividends if it ceases to qualify as a REIT. Through June 30, 2013, the Company has made cumulative amortization repayments of $109.9 million on the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility. Repayments of the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility prior to the scheduled maturity date have resulted in losses on early extinguishment of debt of $1.7 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, related to the acceleration of discounts and unamortized deferred financing fees on the portion of the facility that was repaid. October 2012 Secured Credit Facility—On October 15, 2012, the Company entered into a $1.82 billion senior secured credit agreement due October 15, 2017 (the “October 2012 Secured Credit Facility”). Proceeds from the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility were used to refinance the remaining outstanding balances of the Company’s then existing 2011 Secured Credit Facilities. The October 2012 Secured Credit Facility was refinanced by the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility. Prior to refinancing, the Company made cumulative amortization repayments of $113.0 million on the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility, which resulted in losses on early extinguishment of debt of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 related to the acceleration of discounts and unamortized deferred financing fees on the portion of the facility that was repaid. At the time of the refinancing, the Company had $30.5 million of unamortized discounts and financing fees related to the October 2012 Secured Credit Facility. In connection with the refinancing, the Company recorded a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4.9 million, related primarily to the portion of lenders in the original facility that did not participate in the new facility. The remaining $25.6 million of unamortized fees and discounts will continue to be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility. March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities—In March 2012, the Company entered into an $880.0 million senior secured credit agreement providing for two tranches of term loans: a $410.0 million 2012 A-1 tranche due March 2016, which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR + 4.00% (the "2012 Tranche A-1 Facility"), and a $470.0 million 2012 A-2 tranche due March 2017, which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR + 5.75% (the "2012 Tranche A-2 Facility," together the "March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities"). The 2012 A-1 and A-2 tranches were issued at 98.0% of par and 98.5% of par, respectively, and both tranches include a LIBOR floor of 1.25%. Proceeds from the March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities were used to repurchase and repay at maturity $606.7 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's convertible notes due October 2012, to fully repay the $244.0 million balance on the Company's unsecured credit facility due June 2012, and to repay, upon maturity, $90.3 million outstanding principal balance of its 5.50% senior unsecured notes. The March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities are collateralized by a first lien on a fixed pool of assets. Proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral are applied to amortize the March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities. Proceeds received for interest, rent, lease payments and fee income are retained by the Company. The 2012 Tranche A-1 Facility requires amortization payments of $41.0 million to be made every six months beginning December 31, 2012. After the 2012 Tranche A-1 Facility is repaid, proceeds from principal repayments and sales of collateral will be used to amortize the 2012 Tranche A-2 Facility. The Company may make optional prepayments on each tranche of term loans, subject to prepayment fees. Through June 30, 2013, the Company made cumulative amortization repayments of $401.9 million on the 2012 Tranche A-1 Facility, which exceeds all required amortization payments through maturity. Repayments of the 2012 Tranche A-1 Facility prior to scheduled amortization dates have resulted in losses on early extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million and $4.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, related to the acceleration of discounts and unamortized deferred financing fees on the portion of the facility that was repaid. Unsecured Notes—In May 2013, the Company issued $265.0 million aggregate principal of 3.875% senior unsecured notes due July 2016 and issued $300.0 million aggregate principal of 4.875% senior unsecured notes due July 2018. Net proceeds from these transactions, together with cash on hand, were used to fully repay the remaining $96.8 million of outstanding 8.625% senior unsecured notes due June 2013 and the remaining $448.5 million of outstanding 5.95% senior unsecured notes due in October 2013. In connection with the repayment of the 5.95% senior unsecured notes, the Company incurred $9.5 million of losses related to a prepayment penalty and the acceleration of amortization of discounts, which was recorded in "Gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, net" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013. Unencumbered/Encumbered Assets—As of June 30, 2013, the carrying value of the Company's encumbered and unencumbered assets by asset type are as follows ($ in thousands):
Explanatory Note: _______________________________________________________________________________
Debt Covenants The Company's outstanding unsecured debt securities contain corporate level covenants that include a covenant to maintain a ratio of unencumbered assets to unsecured indebtedness of at least 1.2x and a restriction on debt incurrence based upon the effect of the debt incurrence on the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio. If any of the Company's covenants are breached and not cured within applicable cure periods, the breach could result in acceleration of its debt securities unless a waiver or modification is agreed upon with the requisite percentage of the bondholders. While the Company expects that its ability to incur new indebtedness under the fixed charge coverage ratio will be limited for the foreseeable future, it will continue to be permitted to incur indebtedness for the purpose of refinancing existing indebtedness and for other permitted purposes under the indentures. The Company's March 2012 Secured Credit Facilities and February 2013 Secured Credit Facility are collectively defined as the "Secured Credit Facilities." The Company's Secured Credit Facilities contain certain covenants, including covenants relating to collateral coverage, dividend payments, restrictions on fundamental changes, transactions with affiliates, matters relating to the liens granted to the lenders and the delivery of information to the lenders. In particular, the Company is required to maintain collateral coverage of 1.25x outstanding borrowings. In addition, for so long as the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Secured Credit Facilities permit the Company to distribute 100% of its REIT taxable income on an annual basis and the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility permits the Company to distribute to its shareholders real estate assets, or interests therein, having an aggregate equity value not to exceed $200 million, so long as such assets are not collateral for the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility. The Company may not pay common dividends if it ceases to qualify as a REIT (except that the February 2013 Secured Credit Facility permits us to distribute certain real estate assets as described in the preceding sentence). The Company's Secured Credit Facilities contain cross default provisions that would allow the lenders to declare an event of default and accelerate the Company's indebtedness to them if the Company fails to pay amounts due in respect of its other recourse indebtedness in excess of specified thresholds or if the lenders under such other indebtedness are otherwise permitted to accelerate such indebtedness for any reason. The indentures governing the Company's unsecured public debt securities permit the bondholders to declare an event of default and accelerate the Company's indebtedness to them if the Company's other recourse indebtedness in excess of specified thresholds is not paid at final maturity or if such indebtedness is accelerated. |
