Revolving Credit Facilities

The Company maintains an unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions, arranged by J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”), which was amended in April 2015.  The Unsecured Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up to $750 million, if certain financial covenants are maintained, two six-month options to extend the maturity to June 2020 upon the Company’s request and an accordion feature for expansion of availability up to $1.25 billion, provided that new or existing lenders agree to the existing terms of the facility and increase their commitment level.  The Unsecured Credit Facility includes a competitive bid option on periodic interest rates for up to 50% of the facility.  The Unsecured Credit Facility also provides for an annual facility fee, which was 20 basis points on the entire facility at September 30, 2015.  The Unsecured Credit Facility also allows for certain foreign currency-denominated borrowings.

The Company also maintains a $50 million unsecured revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association (the “PNC Facility” and, together with the Unsecured Credit Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facilities”).  The PNC Facility was also amended in April 2015 to reflect terms consistent with those contained in the Unsecured Credit Facility.  

The Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities bear interest at variable rates at the Company’s election, based on either (i) the prime rate plus a specified spread (0.15% at September 30, 2015), as defined in the respective facility, or (ii) LIBOR plus a specified spread (1.0% at September 30, 2015).  The specified spreads vary depending on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured debt rating from Moody’s Investors Services (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”).  The Company is required to comply with certain covenants under the Revolving Credit Facilities relating to total outstanding indebtedness, secured indebtedness, maintenance of unencumbered real estate assets and fixed charge coverage. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2015.  

Unsecured Term Loan

In April 2015, the Company entered into a $400 million unsecured term loan with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and PNC Bank, National Association, as syndication agent (the “Unsecured Term Loan”).  The Unsecured Term Loan has a maturity date of April 2017, with three one-year borrower options to extend upon the Company’s request, provided certain conditions are satisfied.  The Company may increase the amount of the facility provided that lenders agree to certain terms.  The outstanding principal amount under this credit facility may not exceed $600 million. The Unsecured Term Loan bears interest at variable rates based on LIBOR as defined in the loan agreements plus a specified spread based on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured debt rating (1.1% at September 30, 2015).  The Company is required to comply with covenants similar to those contained in the Revolving Credit Facilities.  The Company was in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2015.
