(1) Includes unsecured public debt and unsecured credit facilities. The Company has $86.3 million of debt maturing over the next twelve months, which it currently intends to refinance. If market conditions change and refinancing is not an option, the Company has sufficient capacity on its Line to repay the maturing debt, all of which is in the form of non-recourse mortgage loans. Financing - Subsequent Events Subsequent to December 31, 2016, the Company priced a public offering of two tranches of senior unsecured notes:
• | $350.0 million of 3.6% notes due February 1, 2027, which priced at 99.741%. The Company intends to use the net proceeds in connection with the consummation of the previously announced pending merger with Equity One, Inc., including (i) to repay approximately $285.0 million in aggregate principal amount of debt of Equity One, and any related interest, fees and expenses and (ii) to pay transaction expenses related to the pending merger with Equity One. In the event that the merger agreement is not consummated, the Company will be required to redeem these notes then outstanding at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
• | $300.0 million of 4.4% notes due February 1, 2047, which priced at 99.110%. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds to redeem all of the outstanding shares of its 6.625% Series 6 preferred shares on February 16, 2017 and intends to use the balance to fund investment activities and for general corporate purposes.
In connection with the pending Merger, the Company has commitments to (i) amend its Line by increasing the borrowing capacity to $1.0 billion and (ii) enter a new $300.0 million term loan facility. Both of these transactions are contingent upon the consummation of the Merger and are scheduled to close simultaneously with the Merger. The Company plans to use the proceeds from the new term loan to repay existing term loans held by Equity One. The additional line capacity will accommodate the Company's increased property operations and development / redevelopment programs from the Merger.
