Loans Payable

On March 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 7, 2015. The Credit Facility (as defined below), which matures on March 29, 2023, consists of a $600 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and a $250 million term loan facility (the “Term Facility” and together with the Revolving Facility, the “Credit Facility”). The Term Facility includes a 90 day delayed draw provision. The Company plans to draw $250 million from the Term Facility in June of 2019 in connection with the maturity of the 2019 Notes. The Company may increase the Credit Facility to not more than $1 billion in the aggregate, at its request, upon satisfaction of specified conditions. The Revolving Facility contains a sublimit of $75 million for letters of credit. The Company may borrow under the Revolving Facility in the ordinary course of business to fund its operations, including its land acquisition, land development and homebuilding activities. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility will be governed by, among other things, a borrowing base. Interest rates on borrowings under the Revolving 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. Interest rates on borrowings under the Term Facility will be based on either a daily Eurocurrency base rate or a Eurocurrency rate, in either case, plus a spread ranging from 1.10% to 1.85%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio.

As of March 31, 2019, we had no outstanding debt under the Credit Facility and $818.8 million of availability after considering the borrowing base provisions and outstanding letters of credit. As of March 31, 2019, there was $5.3 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 remaining term of the Credit Facility. Accrued interest, including loan commitment fees, related to the Credit Facility was $432,000 and $402,000 as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had outstanding letters of credit of $31.2 million and $31.8 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.
