(1)These loans have a fixed interest rate or an effectively fixed interest rate due to interest rate swaps. On June 13, 2024, EastGroup entered into amended and restated credit agreements related to its $625,000,000 and $50,000,000 unsecured bank credit facilities, to extend the maturity dates from July 30, 2025 to July 31, 2028. There were no other material changes to the credit facilities, which are outlined below. The Company has a $625,000,000 unsecured bank credit facility with a group of 10 banks, which has a maturity date of July 31, 2028. The credit facility contains options for two six-month extensions (at the Company's election) and an additional $625,000,000 accordion (with agreement by all parties). The interest rate on each tranche is reset on a monthly basis and as of June 30, 2024, was Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 76.5 basis points with an annual facility fee of 15 basis points. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no variable rate borrowings on this unsecured bank credit facility and an interest rate of 6.202%. The Company has two standby letters of credit totaling $2,655,000 pledged on this facility, which reduces borrowing capacity under the credit facility. The Company also has a $50,000,000 unsecured bank credit facility with a maturity date of July 31, 2028, or such later date as designated by the bank; the Company also has two six-month extensions available if the extension options in the $625,000,000 facility are exercised. The interest rate is reset on a daily basis and as of June 30, 2024, was SOFR plus 77.5 basis points with an annual facility fee of 15 basis points. As of June 30, 2024, the interest rate was 6.205% with no outstanding balance. For both facilities, the margin and facility fee are subject to changes in the Company's credit ratings. Although the Company’s current credit rating is Baa2, given the strength of the Company’s key credit metrics, initial pricing for the credit facilities is based on the BBB+/Baa1 credit ratings level. This favorable pricing level will be retained provided that the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the applicable agreements, remains less than 32.5%. The $625,000,000 facility is also subject to a sustainability-linked pricing component, pursuant to which the applicable interest margin is adjusted if the Company meets a certain sustainability performance target. This sustainability metric is evaluated annually and was achieved for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, which allowed for the interest rate reduction in each of the years subsequent to achieving the metric. The margin was effectively reduced on this unsecured bank credit facility by one basis point, from 77.5 to 76.5 basis points. Scheduled principal payments on long-term debt, including Unsecured debt, net of debt issuance costs (not including Unsecured bank credit facilities, net of debt issuance costs), as of June 30, 2024, are as follows:
Years Ending December 31, |  | (In thousands)

2025 |  | 145,000 |
