_____________
1.Interest rate with respect to indebtedness is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest rates are as of December 31, 2024, which may be different than the interest rates as of December 31, 2023 for corresponding indebtedness.
2.Maturity dates include the effect of extension options.
3.The annual facility fee rate ranges from 0.15% or 0.30% based on the operating partnership’s leverage ratio. The Company has an option to make an irrevocable election to change the interest rate depending on the Company’s credit rating or a specified base rate plus an applicable margin. As of December 31, 2024, no such election had been made and the unsecured revolving credit facility bore interest at SOFR + 1.35%.
4.In January 2025, the Company amended its credit facility agreement to favorably adjust certain definitions and covenant calculations beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2024. The amendment also resulted in a decrease in the total capacity from $900.0 million to $775.0 million. Up to $193.8 million of the total capacity can be used for borrowings in pounds sterling or Canadian dollars. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and lender commitments, the operating partnership may increase the commitments held under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement up to a total of $2.0 billion either in the form of an increase to an existing unsecured revolving credit facility or a new loan, including a term loan.
5.Subsequent to December 31, 2024, the Company made a net repayment of $27.0 million on the unsecured revolving credit facility.
6.Includes the option to extend the initial maturity date of December 21, 2025 twice for an additional six-month term each at the sole discretion of the Company.
7.An amount equal to the net proceeds from the 5.95% registered senior notes has been allocated to new or existing eligible green projects.
8.Includes the option to extend the initial maturity date of August 9, 2023 three times for an additional one-year term each at the sole discretion of the Company. The first and second extension options were executed on August 9, 2023 and June 13, 2024 respectively.
9.The Company purchased bonds comprising the loan in the amount of $30.2 million.
10.The floating interest rate on $539.0 million of principal has been capped at 6.01% through the use of an interest rate cap. The floating interest rate on $351.2 million of principal is effectively fixed at 3.31% through the use of an interest rate swap. The floating interest rate on $180.0 million of principal is effectively fixed at 4.13% through the use of an interest rate swap.
11.This loan is interest-only through its term. The floating interest rate on $141.4 million of principal has been capped at 5.00% through the use of an interest rate cap. The floating interest rate on the remaining $172.9 million of principal has been effectively fixed at 3.75% through the use of an interest rate swap.
12.This loan bears interest only at 3.38% until November 6, 2026, at which time the interest rate will increase and monthly debt service will include principal payments with a balloon payment at maturity.
13.This loan has a total capacity of $100.6 million and an initial interest rate of SOFR + 3.10% per annum until the construction at Sunset Glenoaks Studios is complete and certain performance targets have been met, at which time the effective interest rate will decrease to SOFR + 2.50%. This loan is interest-only through its term. The floating interest rate on the full principal amount has been effectively capped at 4.50% through the use of an interest rate cap. The Company has provided various guarantees for this loan, including an equity guarantee and a recourse carve-out guarantee.
14.Sunset Glenoaks Studios was consolidated as of December 31, 2024 and unconsolidated as of December 31, 2023. Therefore, the December 31, 2023 balance is reported at $0.

16.Excludes deferred financing costs related to the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility, which are reflected in prepaid expenses and other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 9 for details.
17.This amount relates to debt attributable to Allianz U.S. Private REIT LP (“Allianz”), the Company’s partner in the joint venture that owns the Ferry Building property.
18.Includes the option to extend the initial maturity date of October 9, 2028 twice for an additional two-year term each permitting certain financial covenants are met.

Current Year Activity

During the year ended December 31, 2024, there were $128.0 million of borrowings on the unsecured revolving credit facility, net of repayments. The Company generally uses the unsecured revolving credit facility to finance the acquisition of properties and businesses, to provide funds for tenant improvements and capital expenditures and to provide for working capital and other corporate purposes.

On May 3, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to its unsecured revolving credit facility in order to, among other things, replace CDOR as a referenced rate for Canadian dollar-denominated loans under the Canadian facility with a term CORRA-based rate.

Indebtedness

The Company presents its financial statements on a consolidated basis. Notwithstanding such presentation, except to the extent expressly indicated, 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 loans 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.
The following table provides information regarding the Company’s future minimum principal payments due on the Company’s debt (after the impact of extension options, if applicable) as of December 31, 2024:

Unsecured Debt

Credit Facility

The operating partnership continues to be the borrower under its credit facility agreement, 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 Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Baa3 from Moody’s, in which case such guarantees are not required except under limited circumstances. As of December 31, 2024, the credit ratings for our senior unsecured debt were B2, BB- and BB- from Moody’s, Standard and Poor’s and Fitch, respectively.
Note Purchase Agreements

The operating partnership may prepay at any time all or, from time to time, any part of the note purchase agreements in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of any series of note purchase agreements then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid plus a make-whole premium.    

The operating partnership’s obligations under note purchase agreements are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. Subsidiaries of the Company will also issue unconditional guarantees upon the occurrence of certain conditions, including such subsidiaries providing guarantees under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, by and among the operating partnership, the financial institutions party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as administrative agent.

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. 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.
