Revolving Line of Credit

9. Revolving Line of Credit

The Trust has a revolving line of credit in the principal amount of $50,000,000 which bears interest at LIBOR plus 3% and has a maturity date of March 3, 2014 with an option to extend the maturity date to March 3, 2015. The Trust must comply with financial covenants on an ongoing basis. The covenants are tested as of the end of each quarter based upon results for that quarter. The Trust was in compliance of its financial covenants under its revolving line of credit as of September 30, 2013.

The revolving line of credit is collateralized by certain approved assets and since it is recourse to the Trust it is effectively collateralized by all of the Trust’s assets. The revolving line of credit requires monthly payments of interest only. To the extent that the amounts outstanding under the facility are in excess of the borrowing base (as calculated per the terms of the loan agreement), the Trust is required to make a principal payment to reduce such excess. The Trust may prepay from time to time without premium or penalty and re-borrow amounts prepaid.

The outstanding balance under the facility was $0 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The Trust is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the line, which amounted to approximately $44,000 and $131,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and approximately $44,000 and $106,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

Revolving Line of Credit

10. Senior Notes Payable

In August 2012 the Trust issued a total $86,250,000 of its 7.75% Senior Notes (the “Senior Notes”) at an issue price of 100% of par value. The Trust received net proceeds of approximately $83,228,000, after deducting the underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses.

The Senior Notes mature on August 15, 2022 and bear interest at the rate of 7.75% per year, payable quarterly in arrears commencing November 15, 2012. The Trust may redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time on or after August 15, 2015 at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The Senior Notes rank senior to all of the Trust’s future indebtedness that by its terms is expressly subordinate to the Senior Notes, effectively making the Senior Notes senior to all of the Trust’s existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness to the extent of the collateral securing the Senior Notes and pari passu thereafter. The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future liabilities of Winthrop’s subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, but will have a security interest in the promissory note of the Operating Partnership to the Trust, which promissory note is pari passu with all existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness of the Operating Partnership.
