On July 29, 2022, SOFR replaced LIBOR as the interest reference rate for the revolving line of credit.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
On July 29, 2022, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Company entered into the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 8, 2021 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions to provide for (i) a $250.0 million increase to the $850.0 million unsecured revolving line of credit that was assumed in the Merger, resulting in a $1.1 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2022 Revolving Facility”) and (ii) a seven-year $300.0 million unsecured term loan (the “$300M Term Loan”). Under the Second Amendment, the Operating Partnership has the option, subject to certain customary conditions, to increase the 2022 Revolving Facility and/or incur additional term loans in an aggregate amount for all such increases and additional loans of up to $600.0 million, for a total facility amount of up to $2.0 billion. The 2022 Revolving Facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 8, 2026, which maturity date may be extended for up to two additional periods of six months at the Operating Partnership’s option, subject to certain conditions.
Borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus a margin based on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio or credit rating, respectively, plus a facility fee based on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio or credit rating, respectively. The SOFR rate is also subject to an additional 0.10% spread adjustment as specified in the Second Amendment. The 2022 Revolving Facility is currently priced on the leverage-based pricing grid. In accordance with the Credit Agreement, the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resets quarterly based on the Company’s leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end. The Company may irrevocably elect to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid at any time. As of September 30, 2022, making such an election would have resulted in a lower interest rate; however, the Company had not made the election to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid. The Credit Agreement includes a sustainability metric based on targeted greenhouse gas emission reductions, which results in a reduction of the otherwise applicable interest rate margin by one basis point upon achievement of targets set forth therein.

The Operating Partnership’s ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement is subject to ongoing compliance by the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries with various restrictive covenants, including with respect to liens, transactions with affiliates, dividends, mergers and asset sales. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that the Operating Partnership satisfy certain financial covenants, including (i) a maximum leverage ratio; (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio; (iii) a maximum secured indebtedness ratio; (iv) a maximum unsecured leverage ratio; and (v) a minimum unencumbered interest coverage ratio. As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
As of September 30, 2022, we had letters of credit outstanding which totaled $1.5 million, against which no amounts were advanced as of September 30, 2022.
Unsecured Term Loans
On July 29, 2022, in conjunction with the Second Amendment, the Operating Partnership obtained a $300M Term Loan that is priced on a ratings-based pricing grid at a rate of SOFR plus a credit spread ranging from 1.15% to 2.20%. The SOFR rate is also subject to an additional 0.10% spread adjustment as specified in the Second Amendment. Proceeds from the $300M Term Loan were used to repay the Operating Partnership’s $200.0 million unsecured term loan that was assumed in the Merger and was scheduled to mature on November 22, 2023 (the “$200M Term Loan”), certain secured loans, and for other general corporate purposes. The Operating Partnership is permitted to prepay the $300M Term Loan in whole or in part, at any time, subject to a prepayment fee if prepaid on or before July 29, 2024. The agreement related to the $300M Term Loan includes a sustainability metric based on targeted greenhouse gas emission reductions, which results in a reduction of the otherwise applicable interest rate margin by one basis point upon achievement of targets set forth therein.
On October 22, 2021, in connection with the Merger, the Operating Partnership (as successor by merger to RPAI) assumed RPAI’s $120.0 million (the “$120M Term Loan”) and $150.0 million (the “$150M Term Loan”) unsecured term loans, which were originally priced on a leverage-based pricing grid with the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resetting quarterly based on the Company’s leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end. The Company had the option to irrevocably elect to convert to a ratings-based pricing grid at any time. On August 2, 2022, the Company made the election to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid. The agreement related to the $150M Term Loan includes a sustainability metric based on targeted greenhouse gas emission reductions, which results in a reduction of the otherwise applicable interest rate margin by one basis point upon achievement of targets set forth therein.
Under the agreement related to the $120M Term Loan and the $150M Term Loan, the Operating Partnership has the option to increase each of the term loans to $250.0 million upon the Operating Partnership’s request, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the term loan agreement, to provide such increased amounts. The Operating Partnership is permitted to prepay each of the $120M Term Loan and $150M Term Loan, in whole or in part, at any time without being subject to a prepayment fee.
On October 25, 2018, the Operating Partnership entered into a term loan agreement with KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders party thereto, providing for an unsecured term loan facility of up to $250.0 million (the “$250M Term Loan”).
The Operating Partnership has the option to increase the $250M Term Loan to $300.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the term loan agreement, to provide such increased amounts. The Operating Partnership is permitted to prepay the $250M Term Loan in whole or in part, at any time, subject to a prepayment fee if prepaid on or before October 25, 2023.
The unsecured term loan agreements contain representations, financial and other affirmative and negative covenants and events of default that are substantially similar to those contained in the Credit Agreement. The unsecured term loan agreements all rank pari passu with the Operating Partnership’s 2022 Revolving Facility and other unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership.
