Indebtedness

Notwithstanding such presentation, except to the extent expressly indicated, such as in the case of the project financing for Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios, the Company’s separate property-owning subsidiaries are not obligors of or under the debt of their respective affiliates and each property-owning subsidiary’s separate liabilities do not constitute obligations of its respective affiliates.

Loan agreements include events of default that the Company believes are usual for loan and transactions of this type. As of the date of this filing, there have been no events of default associated with the Company’s loans.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

The operating partnership’s unsecured revolving credit facility is amended from time to time. The terms of the arrangement are more fully described in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Under the unsecured revolving credit facility, as amended and restated to date (“Amended and Restated Credit Facility”), the Company has $400.0 million of total capacity. The maturity date of April 1, 2019 can be extended with a one-year extension option. The Company uses the unsecured revolving credit facility to finance the acquisition of other properties, to provide funds for tenant improvements and capital expenditures, and to provide for working capital and other corporate purposes.

Interest on the Amended and Restated Credit Facility is generally based upon, at our option, either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable LIBOR margin or (ii) a specified base rate plus the applicable base rate margin, dependent on the operating partnership’s leverage ratio. The applicable LIBOR margin will range from 1.15% to 1.85% for the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, 1.30% to 2.20% for the 5-Year Term Loan due April 2020, depending on the operating partnership’s leverage ratio and 1.60% to 2.55% for the 7-Year Term Loan due April 2022, depending on the operating partnership’s leverage ratio. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility requires a facility fee in an amount equal to 0.20% or 0.35% of the operating partnership’s revolving credit commitments depending on the operating partnership’s leverage ratio. Unused amounts under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility are not subject to a separate fee.

Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and lender commitments, the operating partnership may increase the availability of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility so long as the aggregate commitments under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility do not exceed $2.0 billion.

If the Company obtains a credit rating for the Company’s senior unsecured long-term indebtedness, the operating partnership may make an irrevocable election to change the interest rate and facility fee. During 2016, the Company’s senior unsecured long-term indebtedness was assigned an investment grade rating. The Company has not made the credit rating election.

The operating partnership continues to be the borrower under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, and the Company and all subsidiaries that own unencumbered properties will continue to provide guarantees unless the Company obtains and maintains a credit rating of at least BBB- from S&P or Baa3 from Moody’s, in which case such guarantees are not required except under limited circumstances. 

Debt Covenants

The operating partnership’s ability to borrow under its unsecured loan arrangements remains subject to ongoing compliance with financial and other covenants as defined in the respective agreements, including, when considering the most restrictive terms, maintaining a leverage ratio (maximum of 0.60:1.00), unencumbered leverage ratio (maximum of 0.60:1.00), fixed charge coverage ratio (minimum of 1.50:1.00), secured indebtedness leverage ratio (maximum of 0.45:1.00), and unsecured interest coverage ratio (minimum 2.00:1.00). Certain financial covenant ratios are subject to change in the occurrence of material acquisitions as defined in the respective agreements. Other covenants include certain limitations on dividend payouts and distributions, limits on certain types of investments outside of the operating partnership’s primary business, and other customary affirmative and negative covenants.

The operating partnership was in compliance with its financial covenants as of March 31, 2017.

Repayment Guaranties

Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios Loan    

In connection with the loan secured by the Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios properties, the Company has guaranteed in favor of and promised to pay to the lender 19.5% of the principal payable under the loan in the event the borrower, a wholly-owned entity of the operating partnership, does not do so. As of March 31, 2017, the outstanding balance was $5.0 million, which results in a maximum guarantee amount for the principal under this loan of $1.0 million. Furthermore, the Company agreed to guarantee the completion of the construction improvements, including tenant improvements, as defined in the agreement, in the event of any default of the borrower. If the borrower fails to complete the remaining required work, the guarantor agrees to perform timely all of the completion obligations, as defined in the agreement. As of the date of this filing, there has been no event of default associated with this loan.

Other Loans

Although the rest of the operating partnership’s loans are secured and non-recourse, the operating partnership provides limited customary secured debt guarantees for items such as voluntary bankruptcy, fraud, misapplication of payments and environmental liabilities.
