ITEM 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On November 10, 2005, Parkway Properties, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Third 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 total debt to total asset value ratio and the pool availability ratio covenants from 55% to 60% and decreases the capitalization rate used in calculating the defined "value" from 9% to 8.5%.  These changes allow greater financial flexibility and borrowing capacity while positioning the Company to execute certain anticipated transactions more timely.  Additionally, it adjusts the variables of the Credit Agreement to be more closely related to the current market conditions. The interest rate on the unsecured credit facility (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 5.415 % at November 1, 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 $20,000 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.
