The Company recognized a $66.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt, consisting of the prepayment charges along with $10.8 million and $2.4 million related to non-cash charges for deferred financing costs for Cira Square and Cira South Garage, respectively.

As of March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015,the Company’s weighted-average effective interest rate on its mortgage notes payable was 4.93% and 5.72%, respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the net carrying value of the Company’s Properties that are encumbered by mortgage indebtedness was $348.9 million and $562.7 million, respectively.

The Parent Company unconditionally guarantees the unsecured debt obligations of the Operating Partnership (or is a co-borrower with the Operating Partnership) but does not by itself incur unsecured indebtedness.  The Parent Company has no material assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership.

The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 31, 2016. Management continuously monitors the Company’s compliance with and anticipated compliance with the covenants. Certain of the covenants restrict management’s ability to obtain alternative sources of capital. While the Company currently believes it will remain in compliance with its covenants, in the event that the economy deteriorates in the future, the Company may not be able to remain in compliance with such covenants, in which case a default would result absent a lender waiver.
