In conjunction with the prepayment, the Company recognized an extinguishment loss of $4,287 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to prepayment premiums and the write-off of unamortized deferred loan costs.

Unsecured lines of credit

At September 30, 2015, the Company had a $300,000 syndicated unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Syndicated Line”) that was amended in January 2015. At September 30, 2015, the Syndicated Line had a stated interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.05%, was provided by a syndicate of nine financial institutions and required the payment of annual facility fees of 0.20% of the aggregate loan commitments. The Syndicated Line matures in 2019 and may be extended for an additional year at the Company's option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Syndicated Line provides for the interest rate and facility fee rate to be adjusted up or down based on changes in the credit ratings on the Company's senior unsecured debt. The components of the interest rate and the facility fee rate that are based on the Company’s credit ratings range from 0.875% to 1.55% and from 0.125% to 0.30%, respectively. The Syndicated Line also includes a competitive bid option for borrowings up to 50% of the loan commitments, which may result in interest rates for such borrowings below the stated interest rates for the Syndicated Line, depending on market conditions. The credit agreement for the Syndicated Line contains customary restrictions, representations, covenants and events of default, including minimum fixed charge coverage, minimum unsecured interest coverage, and maximum leverage ratios. The Syndicated Line also restricts the amount of capital the Company can invest in specific categories of assets, such as improved land, properties under construction, non-multifamily properties, debt or equity securities, notes receivable and unconsolidated affiliates. At September 30, 2015, letters of credit to third parties totaling $122 had been issued for the account of the Company under this facility.

Additionally, at September 30, 2015, the Company had a $30,000 unsecured line of credit (the “Cash Management Line”) that was also amended in January 2015. The Cash Management Line matures in 2019, includes a one-year extension option, and carries pricing and terms, including financial covenants, substantially consistent with the Syndicated Line discussed above.

In connection with the refinancing of the Syndicated Line, the Cash Management Line and the Term Loan (discussed below), the Company incurred fees and expenses of $4,008 and recognized an extinguishment loss of $197 related to the write-off of a portion of unamortized deferred loan costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Unsecured term loan

At September 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding a $300,000 unsecured bank term loan facility (“Term Loan”) that was amended in January 2015. The Term Loan carries a stated interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.15%, was provided by a syndicate of eight financial institutions and matures in 2020. The Term Loan provides for the stated interest rate to be adjusted up or down based on changes in the credit ratings on the Company’s senior unsecured debt. The component of the interest rate based on the Company’s credit ratings ranges from 0.90% to 1.85%. The Term Loan carries other terms, including financial covenants, substantially consistent with the Syndicated Line discussed above.

As discussed in note 8, the Company entered into interest rate swap arrangements to serve as cash flow hedges of amounts outstanding under the Term Loan. The interest rate swap arrangements effectively fix the LIBOR component of the interest rate paid under the Term Loan at a blended rate of approximately 1.54%. As a result, the effective blended interest rate on the Term Loan is 2.69% (subject to adjustment based on subsequent changes in the Company’s credit ratings) through January 2018, the termination date of the interest rate swaps.

Debt compliance and other

The Company's Syndicated Line, Cash Management Line, Term Loan and senior unsecured notes contain customary restrictions, representations, covenants and events of default and require the Company to meet certain financial covenants. Debt service and fixed charge coverage covenants require the Company to maintain coverages of a minimum of 1.5 to 1.0, as defined in applicable debt arrangements. Additionally, the Company's ratio of unencumbered adjusted property-level net operating income to unsecured interest expense may not be less than 2.0 to 1.0, as defined in the applicable debt arrangements. Leverage covenants generally require the Company to maintain calculated covenants above/below minimum/maximum thresholds. The primary leverage ratios under these arrangements include total debt to total asset value (maximum of 60%), total secured debt to total asset value (maximum of 40%) and unencumbered assets to unsecured debt (minimum of 1.5 to 1.0), as defined in the applicable debt arrangements. The Company believes it met these financial covenants at September 30, 2015.
