U.S. Dollar Denominated Unsecured Notes
On January 19, 2021, we completed a public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes bearing interest at an annual rate of 0.875% and maturing on February 15, 2026. Interest on the senior notes is payable semi-annually, commencing on August 15, 2021. In connection with the offering, we incurred $3.8 million in costs.
On April 23, 2021, we completed a public offering of $700 million, $650 million and $650 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes bearing interest at an annual rate of the compounded Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) + 0.47% (reset quarterly and at 0.495% as of September 30, 2021), 1.85% and 2.30%, respectively, and maturing on April 23, 2024, May 1, 2028 and May 1, 2031, respectively. Interest on the 2024 notes is payable quarterly, commencing on July 23, 2021. Interest on the 2028 notes and 2031 notes is payable semi-annually, commencing on November 1, 2021. In connection with the offering, we incurred a total of $13.7 million in costs.
The U.S. Dollar Denominated Unsecured Notes have various financial covenants, with which we were in compliance at September 30, 2021. Included in these covenants are (a) a maximum Debt to Total Assets of 65% (approximately 14% at September 30, 2021) and (b) a minimum ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Interest Expense of 1.5x (approximately 33x for the twelve months ended September 30, 2021) as well as covenants limiting the amount we can encumber our properties with mortgage debt.
Euro Denominated Unsecured Notes
Our Euro denominated unsecured notes (the “Euro Notes”) consist of four tranches: (i) €242.0 million issued to institutional investors on November 3, 2015 for $264.3 million in net proceeds upon converting the Euros to U.S. Dollars, (ii) €100.0 million issued to institutional investors on April 12, 2016 for $113.6 million in net proceeds upon converting the Euros to U.S. Dollars, (iii) €500.0 million issued in a public offering on January 24, 2020 for $545.2 million in net proceeds upon converting the Euros to U.S. Dollars, and (iv) €700.0 million issued in a public offering on September 9, 2021 for $817.6 million in net proceeds upon converting the Euros to U.S. Dollars. Interest is payable semi-annually on the notes issued November 3, 2015 and April 12, 2016, and annually on the notes issued January 24, 2020 and September 9, 2021. The Euro Notes have financial covenants similar to those of the U.S. Dollar Notes.
We reflect changes in the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amount payable, as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates as “Foreign currency exchange gain (loss)” on our income statement (gains of $40.9 million and $73.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to losses of $41.9 million and $52.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 respectively).
Mortgage Notes
We assumed our non-recourse mortgage debt in connection with property acquisitions, and we recorded such debt at fair value with any premium or discount to the stated note balance amortized using the effective interest method.
At September 30, 2021, the related contractual interest rates are fixed, ranging between 3.2% and 7.1%, and mature between January 1, 2022 and July 1, 2030.
