Credit Facility
Through January 2, 2018, the Company had a $500 million senior unsecured line of credit (the "Credit Facility") that was scheduled to mature on May 28, 2019. The Credit Facility contained financial covenants that required, among other things, the maintenance of an unencumbered interest coverage ratio of at least 2.00; a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.50; an overall leverage ratio of no more than 60%; and a minimum stockholders' equity balance in an amount equal to $1.0 billion, plus a portion of the net cash proceeds from certain equity issuances. The Credit Facility also contained customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, as well as customary events of default.
The interest rate applicable to the Credit Facility varied according to the Company’s leverage ratio and was, at the election of the Company, determined based on either (1) the current London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a spread of between 1.10% and 1.45%, based on leverage, or (2) the greater of Bank of America's prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or the one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”), plus a spread of between 0.10% and 0.45%, based on leverage. The Company also paid an annual facility fee on the total commitments under the Credit Facility of between 0.15% and 0.30%, based on leverage.
On January 3, 2018, the Company entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "New Credit Facility") under which the Company may borrow up to $1 billion if certain conditions are satisfied.
The New Credit Facility recasts the Credit Facility by, among other things, increasing the size from $500 million to $1 billion; extending the maturity date from May 28, 2019 to January 3, 2023; providing for the expansion of the New Credit Facility by an additional $500 million, subject to receipt of additional commitments from lenders and other customary conditions; and decreasing the Consolidated Unencumbered Interest Coverage ratio from 2.00 to 1.75.
The interest rate applicable to the New Credit Facility varies according to the Company's leverage ratio, and may, at the election of the Company, be determined based on either (1) the current LIBOR plus a spread of between 1.05% and 1.45%, based on leverage, or (2) the greater of Bank of America's prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00% (the "Base Rate"), plus a spread of between 0.10% and 0.45%, based on leverage.
At September 30, 2018, the New Credit Facility's spread over LIBOR was 1.05%. The amount that the Company had available to be drawn under the New Credit Facility was a defined calculation based on the Company's unencumbered assets and other factors. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had no amounts drawn under the New Credit Facility and had the ability to borrow $998 million of the $1 billion available with $2 million utilized by outstanding letters of credit.
Unsecured Term Loan
The Company has a $250 million unsecured term loan (the "Term Loan") that matures on December 2, 2021. Through January 21, 2018, the Term Loan contained financial covenants substantially consistent with those of the Credit Facility. On January 22, 2018, the Term Loan was amended to make the financial covenants consistent with those of the New Credit Facility. The interest rate applicable to the Term Loan varies according to the Company’s leverage ratio, and may, at the election of the Company, be determined based on either (1) LIBOR plus a spread of between 1.20% and 1.70%, based on leverage, or (2) the greater of Bank of America's prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or the one-month LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus a spread of between 0.00% and 0.75%, based on leverage. At September 30, 2018, the Term Loan's spread over LIBOR was 1.20%.
Unsecured Senior Notes
In 2017, the Company closed a $350 million private placement of senior unsecured notes, which was funded in two tranches. The first tranche of $100 million has a 10-year maturity and a fixed annual interest rate of 4.09%. The second tranche of $250 million has an 8-year maturity and a fixed annual interest rate of 3.91%.
The senior unsecured notes contain financial covenants that require, among other things, the maintenance of an unencumbered interest coverage ratio of at least 1.75; a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.50; an overall leverage ratio of no more than 60%; and secured leverage ratio of 40% or less. The senior notes also contain customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, as well as customary events of default.
Fair Value
At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the aggregate estimated fair values of the Company's notes payable were $1.1 billion for both periods calculated by discounting the debt's remaining contractual cash flows at estimated rates at which similar loans could have been obtained at those respective dates. The estimate of the current market rate, which is the most significant input in the discounted cash flow calculation, is intended to replicate debt of similar maturity and loan-to-value relationship. These fair value calculations are considered to be Level 2 under the guidelines as set forth in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement," as the Company utilizes market rates for similar type loans from third-party brokers.
