Unsecured revolving credit facility and bank term loan We have a $700.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), which was amended and restated on October 24, 2024 to extend the maturity date from March 2026 to October 2028, which may be further extended by us pursuant to (i) one or both of the two six-month extension options or (ii) one twelve-month extension option. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at our election, at one of the following (a) Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (plus a credit spread adjustment) plus a margin ranging from 0.725% to 1.40%, (b) Daily SOFR (plus a credit spread adjustment) plus a margin ranging from 0.725% to 1.40% or (c) the base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.40%. In each election, the actual margin is determined according to our credit ratings. The base rate means, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (x) the agent’s prime rate, (y) the federal funds rate on such day plus 0.50% or (z) the adjusted Term SOFR for a one-month tenor in effect on such day plus 1.0%. In addition, the Credit Facility requires a facility fee equal to 0.125% to 0.30%, based on our credit rating on the $700.0 million committed capacity, without regard to usage. We expensed approximately $0.2 million of unamortized loan costs and incurred approximately $3.6 million in costs related to the Credit Facility during the year ended December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2024, we had $368.8 million available to draw on the Credit Facility, subject to usual and customary covenants. Among other stipulations, the unsecured credit facility agreement requires that we maintain certain financial ratios within limits set by our creditors. At December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with these ratios. In 2023, we repaid $20.0 million of a term loan due in 2023 (the “2023 Term Loan”). In June 2023, we entered into a two-year $200.0 million term loan (the “2025 Term Loan”) bearing interest at a variable rate which is SOFR-based with a margin determined according to our credit ratings plus a 0.10% credit spread adjustment. The Company incurred approximately $2.7 million of deferred financing costs associated with this loan. The 2025 Term Loan proceeds were used to repay a portion of the remaining $220.0 million 2023 Term Loan balance, which was repaid in full in June 2023. Upon repayment, we expensed approximately $0.1 million of unamortized loan costs associated with this loan which are included in “Loss on early retirement of debt” in our Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2023. Concurrently with the amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility, we amended the terms of the term loan agreement for the 2025 Term Loan to, among other things, modify the representations, covenants, financial covenants, and events of default to align with the same provisions in Credit Facility. In 2022, we repaid a $75.0 million term loan in advance of its contractual maturity date resulting in a $0.2 million charge reflected in “Loss on early retirement of debt” in our Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2022. Pinnacle Bank is a participating member of our banking group. A member of NHI’s Board of Directors and chairperson of the Board of Directors, effective January 7, 2025, is also the chairperson of Pinnacle Financial Partners, Inc., the holding company for Pinnacle Bank. NHI’s local banking transactions are conducted primarily through Pinnacle Bank. 2031 Senior Notes In January 2021, we issued $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.00% senior notes that mature on February 1, 2031 and pay interest semi-annually (the “2031 Senior Notes”). The 2031 Senior Notes were sold at an issue price of 99.196% of face value before the underwriters’ discount. Our net proceeds fr om the 2031 Senior Notes offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and expenses, were approximately $392.3 million. The 2031 Senior Notes are subject to affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants with which we were in compliance at December 31, 2024. Private Placement Notes In September 2024, we repaid upon maturity the $75.0 million of the private placement notes primarily with proceeds from the Credit Facility. Our unsecured private placement notes outstanding as of December 31, 2024, payable interest-only, are summarized below ($ in thousands):
Amount |  | Inception |  | Maturity |  | Fixed Rate
$ | 50,000 |  |  | November 2015 |  | November 2025 |  | 4.33 | %
100,000 |  |  | January 2015 |  | January 2027 |  | 4.51 | %
$ | 150,000 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Covenants pertaining to the unsecured private placement notes are generally conformed with those governing our Credit Facility, except for specific debt-coverage ratios that are more restrictive. Our unsecured private placement notes include a rate increase provision that is effective if any rating agency lowers our credit rating on our senior unsecured debt below investment grade and our compliance leverage increases to 50% or mo re. Fannie Mae Term Loans As of December 31, 2024, we had $60.1 million in Fannie Mae term-debt mortgage financing, that originated in March 2015, requiring interest-only payments at an annual rate of 3.79% with a 10-year maturity. The mortgages are non-recourse and secured by 11 properties leased to Bickford. In a December 2017 acquisition, we assumed additional Fannie Mae debt that amortizes through 2025 when a balloon payment will be due, bears interest at a rate of 4.6%, and has a remaining balance of $15.7 million at December 31, 2024. Collectively, the Fannie Mae debt is secured by properties having a net book value of $98.2 million at December 31, 2024. Interest Expense The following table summarizes interest expense ($ in thousands):
