Interest rates, including imputed rates on mortgages and notes payable, ranged from 3.6% to 8.5% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and the mortgages and notes payables mature between 2014 and 2027 as of March 31, 2014. The weighted-average interest rate was 5.3% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
In June 2013, the Company issued $250,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.25% Senior Notes due 2023 (“Senior Notes”) at an issuance price of 99.026% of the principal amount. The Senior Notes are unsecured, pay interest semi-annually in arrears and mature in June 2023. The Company may redeem the notes at its option at any time prior to maturity in whole or in part by paying the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus a premium. The Company issued these Senior Notes at an initial discount of $2,435 which is being recognized as additional interest expense over the term of the Senior Notes. The Senior Notes are rated Baa2 and BBB- by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”), respectively.
The Company has a $400,000 unsecured revolving credit facility with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), as agent. The unsecured revolving credit facility matures in February 2017 but can be extended until February 2018 at the Company’s option. The interest rate under the unsecured revolving credit facility ranges from LIBOR plus 0.95% to 1.725% (1.15% as of March 31, 2014) depending on the Company's unsecured debt rating. At March 31, 2014, the unsecured revolving credit facility had $42,000 outstanding, outstanding letters of credit of $6,144 and availability of $351,856, subject to covenant compliance.
In 2013, the Company procured a five-year $250,000 unsecured term loan facility from KeyBank, as agent. The unsecured term loan matures in February 2018, may be prepaid without penalty and requires regular payments of interest only at interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 1.10% to 2.10% (1.35% as of March 31, 2014) depending on the Company’s unsecured debt rating. As of March 31, 2014, the Company entered into aggregate interest-rate swap agreements to fix the LIBOR component at a weighted-average rate of 1.09% through February 2018 on the $250,000 of outstanding LIBOR-based borrowings.
The Company has a $255,000 unsecured term loan from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as agent. The term loan matures in January 2019. The term loan requires regular payments of interest only at interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 1.50% to 2.25% (1.75% as of March 31, 2014) depending on the Company's unsecured debt rating. The Company may prepay any outstanding borrowings under the term loan facility at a premium through January 12, 2016 and at par thereafter. The Company has entered into interest-rate swap agreements to fix the LIBOR component at a weighted-average rate of 1.42% through January 2019 on the $255,000 of outstanding LIBOR-based borrowings.
The unsecured revolving credit facility and the unsecured term loans are subject to financial covenants, which the Company was in compliance with at March 31, 2014.
During 2010, the Company issued $115,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.00% Convertible Guaranteed Notes due 2030. The notes pay interest semi-annually in arrears and mature in January 2030. The holders of the notes may require the Company to repurchase their notes in January 2017, January 2020 and January 2025 for cash equal to 100% of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The Company may not redeem any notes prior to January 2017, except to preserve its REIT status. The notes have a current conversion rate of 147.8206 common shares per one thousand principal amount of the notes, representing a conversion price of approximately $6.76 per common share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, including increases in the Company's dividend rate above a certain threshold and the issuance of stock dividends. The notes are convertible by the holders under certain circumstances for cash, common shares or a combination of cash and common shares at the Company's election. The notes are convertible prior to the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding the stated maturity date, at any time beginning in January 2029 and also upon the occurrence of specified events.
