ITEM 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On March 31, 2005, Parkway Properties, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement with a consortium of 10 banks with Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC as Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Book Runner, Wachovia Bank, National Association as Agent and other banks as participants.  The Amendment increases the unsecured revolving credit facility from $170 million to $190 million (the "$190 million line"), increases the secured debt to total asset value ratio covenant requirement from 40% to 45% and modifies certain definitions associated with covenant calculations.  The increased size of the line of credit and increase in secured debt to total asset value ratio allows greater financial flexibility and capacity while accommodating the Company's growth.  The interest rate on the $190 million line is equal to the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 100 to 150 basis points, depending upon overall Company leverage (with the current rate set at 132.5 basis points or 4.43% at March 31, 2005).  The $190 million line matures February 6, 2007 and contains a one-year extension option available at maturity.  The line is expected to fund acquisitions of additional investments.  The Company paid an upfront fee of $50,000 (25 basis points of the increased commitment) upon closing of the Amendment.  The Company pays an annual administration fee of $35,000 and also pays fees on the unused portion of the line based upon overall Company leverage, with the current rate set at 12.5 basis points.
