Early Extinguishment of Debt

During the first quarter of 2024, the Operating Partnership paid off the $460.6 million outstanding principal on the AMH 2014-SFR2 securitization, which resulted in $1.0 million of charges related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and related legal fees and included in loss on early extinguishment of debt within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The payoff of the AMH 2014-SFR2 securitization also resulted in the release of the 4,516 homes pledged as collateral and $10.3 million of cash restricted for lender requirements. The Company received $25.7 million from the payoff for its investment in the AMH 2014-SFR2 Class F asset-backed securitization certificates that were issued by the Operating Partnership and acquired by the Company in 2014 as
part of the AMH 2014-SFR2 securitization debt offering. The Class F certificates were recorded as an asset-backed securitization certificates receivable by the Company and as an amount due from affiliates by the Operating Partnership prior to the payoff. See Note 14. Related Party Transactions.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company terminated its previous revolving credit facility, which resulted in $4.8 million of charges related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and included in loss on early extinguishment of debt within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Operating Partnership paid off the $471.8 million outstanding principal on the AMH 2014-SFR3 securitization, which resulted in $0.5 million of charges related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and related legal fees and included in loss on early extinguishment of debt within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The payoff of the AMH 2014-SFR3 securitization also resulted in the release of the 4,541 homes pledged as collateral and $10.9 million of cash restricted for lender requirements.

Unsecured Senior Notes

During the first quarter of 2024, the Operating Partnership issued $600.0 million of 5.500% unsecured senior notes with a maturity date of February 1, 2034 (the “2034 Notes I”), which carry a green bond designation and were issued under the Company’s green finance framework. Interest on the 2034 Notes I is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2024. The Operating Partnership received aggregate net proceeds of $595.5 million from this offering, after underwriting fees of $3.9 million and a $0.6 million discount, and before offering costs of $1.3 million. Pending full allocation of an amount equal to the net proceeds to finance new or existing projects meeting the eligibility criteria described in the prospectus supplement related to the offering, the Operating Partnership used the net proceeds primarily to repay outstanding indebtedness, including the payoff of the AMH 2014-SFR2 securitization. The Operating Partnership may redeem the 2034 Notes I in whole at any time or in part from time to time at the applicable redemption price specified in the indenture. If the 2034 Notes I are redeemed on or after November 1, 2033 (three months prior to the maturity date), the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2034 Notes I being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Operating Partnership issued $500.0 million of 5.500% unsecured senior notes with a maturity date of July 15, 2034 (the “2034 Notes II”). Interest on the 2034 Notes II is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2025. The Operating Partnership received aggregate net proceeds of $494.0 million from this offering, after underwriting fees of $3.3 million and a $2.7 million discount, and before offering costs of $1.1 million. The Operating Partnership used the net proceeds primarily to repay outstanding indebtedness, including the payoff of the AMH 2014-SFR3 securitization, as well as general corporate purposes. The Operating Partnership may redeem the 2034 Notes II in whole at any time or in part from time to time at the applicable redemption price specified in the indenture. If the 2034 Notes II are redeemed on or after April 15, 2034 (three months prior to the maturity date), the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2034 Notes II being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

The 2034 Notes I and 2034 Notes II are the Operating Partnership’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Operating Partnership’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The indentures require that we maintain certain financial covenants.

Revolving Credit Facility

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with a $1.25 billion sustainability-linked revolving credit facility. The interest rate on the new revolving credit facility is at either a daily or Term SOFR plus a 0.10% spread adjustment and a margin ranging from 0.725% to 1.40% or a base rate (determined according to the greater of a prime rate, federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the daily SOFR plus 1.10%) plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.40%. In each case the actual margin is determined based on the Company’s credit ratings in effect from time to time. The new revolving credit facility matures on July 16, 2028, with two six-month extension options at the Company’s election if certain conditions are met.
