​ In connection with a four-property acquisition during the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the Company assumed an interest only, mortgage note payable with a principal balance of $42.3 million and stated interest rate of 3.63% maturing December 2029. In connection with the purchase price allocation completed, the mortgage debt was fair valued as of the date of acquisition resulting in a $2.5 million debt discount that will be amortized over the term of the mortgage note payable into Interest Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. 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, 2022, 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 Operating Partnership issued $125 million 2031 Senior Unsecured Notes in October 2019 with a stated interest rate of 4.47%. 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%. Senior Unsecured Notes – Public Offerings The 2030 Senior Unsecured Public Notes, 2028 Senior Unsecured Public Notes, 2033 Senior Unsecured Public Notes and 2032 Senior Unsecured Public Notes (collectively the “Public Notes”) are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Agree Realty Corporation and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Public Notes are governed by an indenture, dated August 17, 2020, among the Operating Partnership, the Company and trustee (as supplemented by an officer’s certificate dated at the issuance of each of the Public Notes) (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. 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 the Indenture (as supplemented by an officer’s certificate dated August 17, 2020). 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. In August 2020, the Operating Partnership issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of notes at a stated rate of 2.90% due October 2030 (the “2030 Senior Unsecured Public Notes”). 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 issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of notes at a stated interest rate of 2.00% due June 2028 (“2028 Senior Unsecured Public Notes”) and $300 million in aggregate principal amount notes at a stated interest rate of 2.60% due June 2033 (the “2033 Senior Unsecured Public Notes”). The Company terminated related swap agreements of $300 million 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. In August 2022, the Operating Partnership issued the 2032 Senior Unsecured Public Notes in an underwritten public offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of notes with a stated interest rate of 4.80% due October 2032. The Company terminated related swap agreements of $300 million notional amount that hedged the 2032 Senior Unsecured Public Notes, receiving $28.4 million upon termination. Considering the effect of terminated swap agreements, the blended all-in rate to the Company for the 2032 Senior Unsecured Public Notes is 3.96%. Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility In December 2021, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement which provided for a $1.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") that bore interest based on a pricing grid with a range of 72.5 to 140 basis points over LIBOR, determined by the Company’s credit ratings and leverage ratio. 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. 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. In November 2022, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement which converted the interest rate on its $1.0 billion Revolving Credit Facility from a spread over LIBOR to a spread over SOFR plus a SOFR adjustment of 10 basis points. 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 plus the SOFR adjustment of 10 basis points, pricing on the Revolving Credit Facility was 87.5 basis points over SOFR. 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 (the “Reimbursement Agreement”). 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.
