3.75% Senior Notes
On December 16, 2020, the Company and the OP (together the “Issuers”) issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “3.75% Senior Notes”). In connection with the closing of the offering of the Senior Notes, the Company, the OP and their subsidiaries that guarantee the 3.75% Senior Notes (the “3.75% Senior Note Guarantors”) entered into an indenture with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). The 3.75% Senior Notes, which were issued at par, will mature on December 15, 2027 and accrue interest at a rate of 3.75% per year. Interest on the 3.75% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year and they do not require any principal payments prior to maturity.
The 3.75% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the subsidiaries of each Issuer that are guarantors under the Revolving Credit Facility (the “3.75% Senior Note Guarantees”). Subject to certain exceptions, each future subsidiary of each Issuer that subsequently guarantees indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility, any other syndicated loan facility or any capital markets indebtedness, in each case, is required to execute a 3.75% Senior Note Guarantee. Under certain circumstances, the 3.75% Senior Note Guarantors may be automatically released from their 3.75% Senior Note Guarantees without the consent of the holders of the 3.75% Senior Notes.
The 3.75% Senior Notes are redeemable at the option of the Issuers, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, in each case prior to September 15, 2027, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 101% of the principal amount of the 3.75% Senior Notes to be redeemed or (ii) an amount equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 3.75% Senior Notes to be redeemed that would be due if the 3.75% Senior Notes matured on September 15, 2027 (exclusive of unpaid interest accrued to, but not including, the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis at the treasury rate plus 50 basis points, plus, in each case, unpaid interest, if any, accrued to, but not including, the date of redemption. In addition, at any time on or after September 15, 2027, the 3.75% Senior Notes will be redeemable, at the option of the Issuers, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.75% Senior Notes to be redeemed plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued to, but not including, the date of redemption.
If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Indenture) occurs, the Issuers will be required to make an offer to purchase the 3.75% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the purchase date.
If the Issuers or any of their restricted subsidiaries sell assets, under certain circumstances the Issuers will be required to make an offer to purchase the 3.75% Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the purchase date.
The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuers and their restricted subsidiaries to (1) incur additional indebtedness, (2) pay dividends and make distributions on the capital stock of the Company and each Issuer’s restricted subsidiaries, (3) make investments or other restricted payments, (4) create liens on their assets, (5) enter into transactions with affiliates, (6) merge or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets, (7) sell assets and (8) create restrictions on the ability of their restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or other amounts to them. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. In addition, if the 3.75% Senior Notes are rated investment grade by any two of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Fitch Ratings Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, and at such time no default or event of default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, many of the covenants in the Indenture will be suspended or become more lenient and may not go back into effect.
The Indenture contains customary events of default which could, subject to certain conditions, cause the 3.75% Senior Notes to become immediately due and payable. As of December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the Indenture governing the 3.75% Senior Notes.
4.50% Senior Notes
In connection with the REIT Merger, the Company and the OP assumed and became a guarantor under RTL’s 4.50% Senior Notes (the “4.50% Senior Note Issuers”). The assumption and guarantees made by the Company, the OP and their subsidiaries (the “4.50% Senior Note Guarantors”) were made pursuant to a supplemental indenture governing the 4.50% Senior Notes. The 4.50% Senior Notes were recorded at their estimated fair value on the Acquisition Date of the Mergers, resulting in the recording of a discount. This discount is being amortized as an increase to interest expense over the remaining term of the 4.50% Senior Notes. The 4.50% Senior Notes, which RTL issued on October 7, 2021, were issued at par, will mature on September 30, 2028 and accrue interest at a rate of 4.500% per year. Interest on the 4.50% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 30 and September 30 of each year and they do not require any principal payments prior to maturity.
The 4.50% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the 4.50% Senior Note Guarantors (the “4.50% Senior Note Guarantees”). Subject to certain exceptions, each future subsidiary of each 4.50% Senior Note Issuer that subsequently guarantees indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility, any other syndicated loan facility or any capital markets indebtedness, in each case, of the 4.50% Senior Note Issuers or a 4.50% Senior Note Guarantor will be required to execute a 4.50% Senior Note Guarantee. Under certain circumstances, the 4.50% Senior Note Guarantors may be automatically released from their 4.50% Senior Note Guarantees without the consent of the holders of the 4.50% Senior Notes.
The 4.50% Senior Notes and the 4.50% Senior Note Guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of the 4.50% Senior Notes Issuers and each 4.50% Senior Note Guarantor and are equal in right of payment with all of the other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the 4.50% Senior Notes Issuers and each 4.50% Senior Note Guarantor, including their obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, senior in right of payment to any indebtedness that by its terms is expressly subordinated to the 4.50% Senior Notes and the 4.50% Senior Note Guarantees, effectively subordinated to all of the existing and future secured indebtedness of the 4.50% Senior Notes Issuers and each Guarantor to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt and structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of any subsidiary of the 4.50% Senior Notes Issuers that do not guarantee the 4.50% Senior Notes.
The 4.50% Senior Notes are redeemable at the option of the 4.50% Senior Notes Issuers, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, in each case prior to June 30, 2028, for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 101% of the principal amount of the 4.50% Senior Notes to be redeemed or (ii) an amount equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Senior Notes to be redeemed that would be due if the Senior Notes matured on June 30, 2028 (exclusive of unpaid interest accrued to, but not including, the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis at the treasury rate plus 50 basis points, plus, in each case, unpaid interest, if any, accrued to, but not including, the date of redemption. In addition, at any time on or after June 30, 2028, the 4.50% Senior Notes will be redeemable, at the option of the Issuers, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 4.50% Senior Notes to be redeemed plus unpaid interest, if any, accrued to, but not including, the date of redemption.
If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the original indenture) occurs, the 4.50% Senior Notes Issuers will be required to make an offer to purchase the 4.50% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the purchase date.
If the 4.50% Senior Notes Issuers or any of their restricted subsidiaries sell assets, under certain circumstances the Senior Notes Issuers will be required to make an offer to purchase the 4.50% Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest and unpaid interest, if any, up to, but excluding, the purchase date.
The supplemental indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the 4.50% Senior Notes Issuers and their restricted subsidiaries to (1) incur additional indebtedness, (2) pay dividends and make distributions on the capital stock of the Company and each Senior Notes Issuer’s restricted subsidiaries, (3) make investments or other restricted payments, (4) create liens on their assets, (5) enter into transactions with affiliates, (6) merge or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of their assets, (7) sell assets and (8) create restrictions on the ability of their restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or other amounts to them. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. In addition, if the 4.50% Senior Notes are rated investment grade by any two of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Fitch Ratings Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, and at such time no default or event of default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, many of the covenants in the Indenture will be suspended or become more lenient and may not go back into effect.
The supplemental indenture contains customary events of default which could, subject to certain conditions, cause the 4.50% Senior Notes to become immediately due and payable.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company and the issuers under the supplemental indenture were in compliance with the covenants under the Indenture governing the 4.50% Senior Notes.
