Credit Agreement
In June 2022, we entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") which matures on June 2, 2027. The Credit Agreement consists of a $350.0 million senior secured, five-year revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), including an accordion feature allowing us to increase borrowings up to the greater of (a) $200.0 million and (b) 100% of twelve-month trailing consolidated EBITDA, subject to lender approval. The Credit Agreement includes a $150.0 million sublimit for letters of credit ($75.0 million for financial letters of credit) and a $20.0 million sublimit for swingline loans.
We may borrow on the Revolver, at our option, at either (a) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) term rate plus a credit adjustment spread plus applicable margin ranging from 1.0% to 2.0%, or (b) a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from zero to 1.0%. The applicable margin is based on our Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in our Credit Agreement), calculated quarterly. As of March 31, 2025, the total unused availability under the Credit Agreement was $330.4 million, resulting from $19.6 million in issued and outstanding letters of credit and no amount drawn under the Revolver. The letters of credit had expiration dates between June 2025 and November 2025.
3.25% Convertible Notes
On June 11, 2024, we issued $373.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.25% Convertible Notes. The 3.25% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2024. The 3.25% Convertible Notes mature on June 15, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 15, 2029, the 3.25% Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only upon the occurrence of certain events and during certain periods. Thereafter, the 3.25% Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding their maturity date.
The 3.25% Convertible Notes have an initial conversion rate of 12.8398 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $77.88 per share of our common stock, subject to adjustment if certain events occur. Upon conversion, we will settle the principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes in cash, and any conversion premium in excess of the principal amount in cash, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election.
In addition, upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” as defined in the indenture governing the 3.25% Convertible Notes, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 3.25% Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. If certain corporate events that constitute a “make-whole fundamental change” as set forth in the indenture governing the 3.25% Convertible Notes occur prior to the maturity date of the 3.25% Convertible Notes or if we deliver a notice of redemption, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 3.25% Convertible Notes in connection with such event or notice of redemption.
We will not be able to redeem the 3.25% Convertible Notes prior to June 21, 2027. On or after June 21, 2027, we will be able to redeem for cash all or any portion of the 3.25% Convertible Notes, at our option, if the last reported sale price of Granite’s common stock is equal to or greater than 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued but
unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. The indenture governing the 3.25% Convertible Notes contains customary events of default. In the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, with respect to us or our significant subsidiaries, all outstanding 3.25% Convertible Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes then outstanding may declare the 3.25% Convertible Notes due and payable immediately.
2024 Capped Call Transactions
In June 2024, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions in connection with the offering of the 3.25% Convertible Notes (the "2024 capped call transactions"). The 2024 capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the 3.25% Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 3.25% Convertible Notes, as the case may be. If, however, the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the 2024 capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of $119.82 of the 2024 capped call transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution and/or there would not be an offset of such cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the 2024 capped call transactions.
3.75% Convertible Notes
On May 11, 2023, we issued $373.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.75% Convertible Notes. The 3.75% Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.75% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2023 and mature on May 15, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding November 15, 2027, the 3.75% Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders only upon the occurrence of certain events and during certain periods. Thereafter, the 3.75% Convertible Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date.
The initial conversion rate applicable to the 3.75% Convertible Notes is 21.6807 shares of Granite common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $46.12 per share of Granite common stock, subject to adjustment if certain events occur. Upon conversion, we will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of Granite common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Granite common stock, at our election. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “fundamental change” as defined in the indenture governing the 3.75% Convertible Notes, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 3.75% Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes to be repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. If certain corporate events that constitute a “make-whole fundamental change” as set forth in the indenture governing the 3.75% Convertible Notes occur prior to the maturity date of the 3.75% Convertible Notes or if we deliver a notice of redemption, we will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 3.75% Convertible Notes in connection with such event or notice of redemption.
We will not be able to redeem the 3.75% Convertible Notes prior to May 20, 2026. On or after May 20, 2026, we have the option to redeem for cash all or any portion of the 3.75% Convertible Notes if the last reported sale price of our common stock is equal to or greater than 130% of the conversion price for a specified period of time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. The indenture governing the 3.75% Convertible Notes contains customary events of default. In the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, with respect to us or our significant subsidiaries, all outstanding 3.75% Convertible Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Notes then outstanding may declare the 3.75% Convertible Notes due and payable immediately.
2023 Capped Call Transactions
In May 2023, we entered into capped call transactions (the "2023 capped call transactions") in connection with the offering of the 3.75% Convertible Notes. The 2023 capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon conversion of the 3.75% Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 3.75% Convertible Notes, as the case may be. If, however, the market price per share of our common stock, as measured under the terms of the 2023 capped call transactions, exceeds the cap price of $79.83 of the 2023 capped call transactions, there would nevertheless be dilution and/or there would not be an
offset of such cash payments, in each case, to the extent that such market price exceeds the cap price of the 2023 capped call transactions.
Covenants and Events of Default
Our Credit Agreement requires us to comply with various affirmative, restrictive and financial covenants, including the financial covenants described below. Our failure to comply with these covenants would constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement. Additionally, the 3.25% Convertible Notes and 3.75% Convertible Notes are governed by the terms and conditions of their respective indentures. Our failure to pay principal, interest or other amounts when due or within the relevant grace period on our 3.25% Convertible Notes, our 3.75% Convertible Notes or our Credit Agreement would constitute an event of default under the 3.25% Convertible Notes indenture, the 3.75% Convertible Notes indenture or the Credit Agreement. A default under our Credit Agreement could result in (i) us no longer being entitled to borrow under such facility; (ii) termination of such facility; (iii) the requirement that any letters of credit under such facility be cash collateralized; (iv) acceleration of amounts owed under the Credit Agreement; and/or (v) foreclosure on any collateral securing the obligations under such facility. A default under the 3.25% Convertible Notes indenture or the 3.75% Convertible Notes indenture could result in acceleration of the maturity of the notes.
The most significant financial covenants under the terms of our Credit Agreement require the maintenance of a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. We are not aware of any non-compliance by any of our unconsolidated real estate ventures with the covenants contained in their debt agreements.
Debt Issuance Costs
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of amortization related to debt issuance costs.
