Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Indebtedness

Note 8. Indebtedness

Our principal debt obligations at March 31, 2024 were: (1) $4,025,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of senior unsecured notes; (2) $1,000,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of senior secured notes; and (3) $608,079 aggregate outstanding principal amount of net lease mortgage notes. We had no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2024.

Our $650,000 secured revolving credit facility is available for general business purposes, including acquisitions. We can borrow, repay, and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity and no principal repayments are due until maturity. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is June 29, 2027, and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, we have an option to further extend the stated maturity date of the facility by two additional six-month periods.

Interest payable on drawings under our revolving credit facility is based on the secured overnight financing rate, or SOFR, plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 3.00% based on our leverage ratio, as defined in our credit agreement, which was 2.50% as of March 31, 2024. As collateral for all loans and other obligations under the credit facility, certain of our subsidiaries pledged all of their respective equity interests in certain of our direct and indirect property owning subsidiaries, and our pledged subsidiaries provided first mortgage liens on 69 properties, including 66 hotels and three net lease properties, with an aggregate undepreciated carrying value of $1,612,216 as of March 31, 2024. In addition, in order to maintain compliance with the minimum collateral property availability covenant as defined in the credit agreement, in February 2024, we added three hotels with an aggregate undepreciated carrying value of $115,039 as of March 31, 2024, as collateral under the agreement. We also pay unused commitment fees of 20 to 30 basis points per annum on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility based on amounts outstanding. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 7.84% and 7.36%, respectively. We had no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility for the three months ended March 31, 2024 or 2023.

Our debt agreements provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts outstanding upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as, in the case of our credit agreement, a change of control of us, which includes The RMR Group LLC, or RMR, ceasing to act as our business manager. Our debt agreements also contain covenants, including those that restrict our ability to incur debts or to make distributions under certain circumstances and generally require us to maintain certain financial ratios. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility are subject to meeting ongoing minimum performance and market values of the collateral properties, satisfying certain financial covenants and other credit facility conditions. We believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of our debt agreements as of March 31, 2024.

Net Lease Mortgage Notes

Our $610,200 in aggregate principal amount of net lease mortgage notes were issued on February 10, 2023 by our wholly owned, special purpose bankruptcy remote, indirect subsidiary, SVC ABS LLC, or the Issuer. The Issuer is a separate legal entity and is the sole owner of its assets and liabilities. The assets of the Issuer are not available to pay or otherwise satisfy obligations to the creditors of any owners or affiliates of the Issuer.

Our net lease mortgage notes are summarized below:
