The deferred liability is being amortized over the term of the note using the effective interest method.
Each series of the notes represents senior, unsecured obligations of NNN and is subordinated to all secured indebtedness of NNN. Each of the notes is redeemable at the option of NNN, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the redemption date and (ii) the make-whole amount, if any, as defined in the applicable supplemental indenture relating to the notes. In connection with the debt offerings, NNN incurred debt issuance costs totaling $10,410,000 consisting primarily of underwriting discounts and commissions, legal and accounting fees, rating agency fees and printing expenses. Debt issuance costs for all note issuances have been deferred and are being amortized over the term of the respective notes using the effective interest method. In June 2012, NNN repaid the $50,000,000 7.75% notes payable that were due in June 2012. In accordance with the terms of the indenture, pursuant to which NNN’s notes have been issued, NNN is required to meet certain restrictive financial covenants, which, among other things, require NNN to maintain (i) certain leverage ratios and (ii) certain interest coverage. At December 31, 2012, NNN was in compliance with those covenants.
