​ The mortgage loans encumbering the Company’s properties are generally non-recourse, subject to certain exceptions for which we would be liable for any resulting losses incurred by the lender. These exceptions vary from loan to loan, but generally include fraud or material misrepresentations, misstatements or omissions by the borrower, intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the borrower that harms the property or results in a loss to the lender, filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, either directly or indirectly, and certain environmental liabilities. At December 31, 2021, there were no mortgage loans with partial recourse to the Company. The Company has entered into mortgage loans that are secured by multiple properties and contain cross-default and cross-collateralization provisions. Cross-collateralization provisions allow a lender to foreclose on multiple properties in the event that we default under the loan. Cross-default provisions allow a lender to foreclose on the related property in the event a default is declared under another loan.

The Company incurred a charge of $14.6 million upon this repayment and settlement, including swap termination costs of $13.4 million and the write-off of previously unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.2 million. ​ Prior to the repayments of the 2023 Term Loan, the 2024 Term Loan Facilities, and the 2026 Term Loan, these loans were subject to all-in interest rates of 2.40%, 2.86%, and 4.26%, respectively, including the effects of related swap agreements.

​ In May 2015, the Company and the Operating Partnership completed a private placement of $100 million principal amount of senior unsecured notes. The senior unsecured notes were sold in two series; $50 million of 4.16% notes due May 2025 (the “2025 Senior Unsecured Notes”) and $50 million of 4.26% notes due May 2027 (the “2027 Senior Unsecured Notes”). In July 2016, the Company and the Operating Partnership completed a private placement of $60 million aggregate principal amount of 4.42% senior unsecured notes due July 2028 (the “2028 Senior Unsecured Notes”). In September 2017, the Company and the Operating Partnership completed a private placement of $100 million aggregate principal amount of 4.19% senior unsecured notes due September 2029 (the “2029 Senior Unsecured Notes”). In September 2018, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into two supplements to uncommitted master note facilities with institutional purchasers. Pursuant to the supplements, the Operating Partnership completed a private placement of $125 million aggregate principal amount of 4.32% senior unsecured notes due September 2030 (the “2030 Senior Unsecured Notes”). In October 2019, the Company and the Operating Partnership closed on a private placement of $125 million of 4.47% senior unsecured notes due October 2031 (the “2031 Senior Unsecured Notes”). In March 2019, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest for $100 million of long-term debt until maturity. The Company terminated the swap agreements at the time of pricing the 2031 Senior Unsecured Notes, which resulted in an effective annual fixed rate of 4.41% for $100 million aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Senior Unsecured Notes. Considering the effect of the terminated swap agreements, the blended all-in rate to the Company for the $125 million aggregate principal amount of 2031 Senior Unsecured Notes is 4.42%. All of the senior unsecured notes described in the preceding paragraphs were sold only to institutional investors and did not involve a public offering in reliance on the exemption from registration in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. In August 2020, the Operating Partnership completed an underwritten public offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 2.900% Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Senior Unsecured Public Notes”). The 2030 Senior Unsecured Public Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Agree Realty Corporation and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The terms of the 2030 Senior Unsecured Public Notes are governed by an indenture, dated August 17, 2020, among the Operating Partnership, the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (as amended and supplemented by an officer’s certificate dated August 17, 2020, the “Indenture”). The Indenture contains various restrictive covenants, including limitations on the ability of the guarantors and the issuer to incur additional indebtedness and requirements to maintain a pool of unencumbered assets. The Company terminated related swap agreements of $200.0 million that hedged the 2030 Senior Unsecured Public Notes, paying $23.4 million upon termination. Considering the effect of the terminated swap agreements, the blended all-in rate to the Company for the $350 million aggregate principal amount of 2030 Senior Unsecured Public Notes is 3.49%. In May 2021, the Operating Partnership completed an underwritten public offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 2.000% Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Senior Unsecured Public Notes”) and $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.600% Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Senior Unsecured Public Notes”). The 2028 Senior Unsecured Public Notes and the 2033 Senior Unsecured Public Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Agree Realty Corporation and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The terms of the 2028 Senior Unsecured Public Notes and the 2033 Senior Unsecured Public Notes are governed by an indenture, dated August 17, 2020, among the Operating Partnership, the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (as amended and supplemented by an officer’s certificate dated May 14, 2021, the “Indenture”). The Indenture contains various restrictive covenants, including limitations on the ability of the guarantors and the Operating Partnership to incur additional indebtedness and requirements to maintain a pool of unencumbered assets. The Company terminated related swap agreements of $300 million notional amount that hedged the 2033 Senior Unsecured Public Notes, receiving $16.7 million upon termination. Considering the effect of the terminated swap agreements, the blended all-in rates to the Company for the $350 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Senior Unsecured Public Notes and the $300 million aggregate principal amount of the 2033 Senior Unsecured Public Notes are 2.11% and 2.13%, respectively. Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility In December 2019, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement. This agreement provided for a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility. It also provided for a $65 million unsecured term loan facility and a $35 million unsecured term loan facility. All amounts outstanding under these unsecured term loan facilities were repaid in May 2021 (see Unsecured Term Loan Facilities below) and cannot be reborrowed against. In December 2021, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement which increases its senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") to $1.0 billion. The Revolving Credit Facility includes an accordion option that allows the Company to request additional lender commitments up to a total of $1.75 billion. The Revolving Credit Facility will mature in January 2026 with Company options to extend the maturity date to January 2027. The Revolving Credit Facility's interest rate is based on a pricing grid with a range of 72.5 to 140 basis points over LIBOR, determined by the Company's credit ratings. The margins for the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to improvement based on the Company's leverage ratio, provided its credit ratings meet a certain threshold. Based on the Company's credit ratings and leverage ratio at the time of closing, pricing on the Revolving Credit Facility was 77.5 basis points over LIBOR. In connection with the Company's ongoing environmental, social and governance ("ESG") initiatives, pricing may be reduced if specific ESG ratings are achieved. The Company and Richard Agree, the Executive Chairman of the Company, are parties to a Reimbursement Agreement dated November 18, 2014. Pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, Mr. Agree has agreed to reimburse the Company for any loss incurred under the Revolving Credit Facility in an amount not to exceed $14.0 million to the extent that the value of the Operating Partnership’s assets available to satisfy the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the revolving credit facility is less than $14.0 million.
