Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On June 20, 2017, the Company modified its existing unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to extend the maturity date by two years to May 18, 2021, while decreasing the total commitments under the Credit Facility to $600 million from $625 million. In addition, the Credit Facility was modified to give the Company the option to make offers to the lenders to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility in twelve-month increments, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Credit Facility contains a sublimit of $75.0 million for letters of credit. The Company may borrow under the Credit Facility in the ordinary course of business to fund its operations, including its land acquisition, land development and homebuilding activities. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will be governed by, among other things, a borrowing base. Interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Facility will be based on either a daily Eurocurrency base rate or a Eurocurrency rate, in either case, plus a spread ranging from 1.25% to 2.00%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2018, we had no outstanding debt under the Credit Facility and $568.2 million of availability after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit. As of December 31, 2018 there was $2.4 million of capitalized debt financing costs, included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheet, related to the Credit Facility that will amortize over the life of the Credit Facility, maturing on May 18, 2021. Accrued interest related to the Credit Facility was $402,000 and $426,000 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

At December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had outstanding letters of credit of $31.8 million and $7.7 million, respectively. These letters of credit were issued to secure various financial obligations. We believe it is not probable that any outstanding letters of credit will be drawn upon.
