_______________ (1)Yield on issuance date including the effects of discounts on the notes, settlements of interest rate contracts and the amortization of financing costs. (2)No principal amounts are due prior to maturity. On May 15, 2023, BPLP completed a public offering of $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.500% unsecured senior notes due 2034. The notes were priced at 99.697% of the principal amount to yield an effective rate (including financing fees) of approximately 6.619% per annum to maturity. The notes will mature on January 15, 2034, unless earlier redeemed. The aggregate net proceeds from the offering were approximately $741.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and transaction expenses. The indenture relating to the unsecured senior notes contains certain financial restrictions and requirements, including (1) a leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, (2) a secured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 50%, (3) an interest coverage ratio of greater than 1.50, and (4) an unencumbered asset value of not less than 150% of unsecured debt. At June 30, 2023, BPLP was in compliance with each of these financial restrictions and requirements. Unsecured Credit Facility On June 1, 2023, BPLP amended its unsecured credit facility (as amended, the “2021 Credit Facility”) to replace the LIBOR-based daily floating rate option with a SOFR-based daily floating rate option and to add options for SOFR-based term floating rates and rates for alternative currency loans. In addition, the amendment added a SOFR credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the 2021 Credit Facility remain unchanged. The 2021 Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up to $1.5 billion through BPLP’s revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”), subject to customary conditions. The 2021 Credit Facility matures on June 15, 2026 and includes a sustainability-linked pricing component. Under the 2021 Credit Facility, BPLP may increase the total commitment by up to $500.0 million by increasing the amount of the Revolving Facility and/or by incurring one or more term loans, in each case, subject to syndication of the increase and other conditions. At BPLP’s option, loans under the 2021 Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (1) (a) in the case of loans denominated in Dollars, Term SOFR and SOFR, (b) in the case of loans denominated in Euro, EURIBOR, (c) in the case of loans denominated in Canadian Dollars, CDOR, and (d) in the case of loans denominated in Sterling, SONIA, in each case, plus a margin ranging from 70.0 to 140.0 basis points based on BPLP’s credit rating or (2) an alternate base rate equal to the greatest of (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the administrative agent’s prime rate, (c) Term SOFR plus 1.00%, and (d) 1.00%, in each case, plus a margin ranging from 0 to 40 basis points based on BPLP’s credit rating. The 2021 Credit Facility also features a sustainability-linked pricing component such that if BPLP meets certain sustainability performance targets, the applicable per annum interest rate will be reduced by one basis point. In addition, the 2021 Credit Facility contains a competitive bid option for up to 65% of the Revolving Facility that allows banks that are part of the lender consortium to bid to make loan advances to BPLP at a reduced interest rate. Pursuant to the 2021 Credit Facility, BPLP is obligated to pay (1) in quarterly installments a facility fee on the total commitment under the Revolving Facility at a rate per annum ranging from 0.10% to 0.30% based on BPLP’s credit rating and (2) an annual fee on the undrawn amount of each letter of credit ranging from 0.70% to 1.40% based on BPLP’s credit rating. Based on BPLP’s June 30, 2023 credit rating, (1) the applicable Daily SOFR, Term SOFR, alternative currency daily rate, and alternative currency term rate margins are 0.775%, (2) the alternate base rate margin is zero basis points and (3) the facility fee is 0.15% per annum. At June 30, 2023, BPLP had no amount outstanding under the Revolving Facility. Unsecured Term Loan On January 4, 2023, BPLP entered into a credit agreement that provided for a $1.2 billion unsecured term loan facility (the “2023 Unsecured Term Loan”). Under the credit agreement, BPLP may, at any time prior to the maturity date, increase total commitments by up to an additional $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount by increasing the existing 2023 Unsecured Term Loan or incurring one or more additional term loans, in each case, subject to syndication of the increase and other conditions. The 2023 Unsecured Term Loan matures on May 16, 2024, with one 12-month extension option, subject to customary conditions. Upon entry into the credit agreement, BPLP exercised its option to draw $1.2 billion under the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan, a portion of which was used to repay in full the $730.0 million outstanding under its prior unsecured credit agreement (the “2022 Unsecured Term Loan”), which was scheduled to mature on May 16, 2023. There was no prepayment penalty associated with the repayment of the 2022 Unsecured Term Loan. At BPLP’s option, loans under the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (1) a base rate equal to the greatest of (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5%, (b) the administrative agent’s prime rate, (c) Term SOFR for a one-month period plus 1.00%, and (d) 1.00%, in each case, plus a margin ranging from 0 to 60 basis points based on BPLP’s credit rating; or (2) a rate equal to adjusted Term SOFR with a one-month period plus a margin ranging from 75 to 160 basis points based on BPLP’s credit rating. Based on BPLP’s credit rating upon entry into the credit agreement, the base rate margin is 0 basis points and the Term SOFR margin is 0.85%. As of June 30, 2023, the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to adjusted Term SOFR plus 0.85% (see Note 7). At June 30, 2023, BPLP had $1.2 billion outstanding under the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan. 2021 Credit Facility and 2023 Unsecured Term Loan Compliance The agreements governing the 2021 Credit Facility and 2023 Unsecured Term Loan contain customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default provisions, including the failure to pay indebtedness, breaches of covenants and bankruptcy and other insolvency events, which could result in the acceleration of the obligation to repay, in the case of the 2021 Credit Facility, all outstanding amounts and the cancellation of all commitments outstanding under the 2021 Credit Facility and, in the case of the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan, any outstanding amount under the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan. Among other covenants, the 2021 Credit Facility and the 2023 Unsecured Term Loan require that BPLP maintain on an ongoing basis: (1) a leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, however, the leverage ratio may increase to no greater than 65% provided that it is reduced back to 60% within one year, (2) a secured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 55%, (3) a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.40, (4) an unsecured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, however, the unsecured debt leverage ratio may increase to no greater than 65% provided that it is reduced to 60% within one year, (5) an unsecured debt interest coverage ratio of at least 1.75 and (6) limitations on permitted investments. At June 30, 2023, BPLP was in compliance with each of these financial and other covenant requirements.
