(NYSE: DEA) (the “Company” or “Easterly”), a fully integrated real estate investment trust focused primarily on the acquisition, development and management of Class A commercial properties leased to the U.S. Government, today announced it has replaced its existing senior unsecured revolving credit facility with an amended and upsized credit facility (the “Amended Credit Facility”), consisting of (i) a $450 million revolving senior unsecured credit facility (the “Revolver”) and (ii) a $150 million delayed draw senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) for a total credit facility size of $600 million. The Revolver includes an accordion feature that allows the Company to request additional lender commitments of up to $250 million, for a total Amended Credit Facility capacity of up to $850 million. The Revolver will initially mature four years from the closing date, in June 2022, with two six-month as-of-right extension options available to extend the maturity to June 2023. The Term Loan will mature five years from the closing date, in June 2023. The Term Loan is prepayable without penalty for the entire term of the loan.

Borrowings under the Revolver will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 1.25% to 1.80%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Term Loan will bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 1.20% to 1.75%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio. Given the Company's current leverage ratio, the initial spread to LIBOR is set at 1.30% for the Revolver and 1.25% for the Term Loan.

The Company intends to use borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility for general corporate purposes, including but not limited to acquisitions, development, redevelopment and other capital expenditures.

In addition, the Company has amended its existing $100 million senior unsecured term loan to conform certain provisions and covenants to those included in the Amended Credit Facility.

Baivier, Easterly’s Chief Financial and Operating Officer. “The Company continues to demonstrate its ability to access capital at highly competitive terms while simultaneously increasing balance sheet capacity to fund future accretive growth.”
