Credit Facility - Terms On July 24, 2017, the Company, through the OP, entered into a credit agreement with KeyBank. Based on USD equivalents at closing, the aggregate total commitments under the Credit Facility were $725.0 million. On July 2, 2018, upon the Company's request, the lenders under the Credit Facility increased the aggregate total commitments from $722.2 million to $914.4 million, based on prevailing exchange rates on that date, with approximately $132.0 million of the increase allocated to the Revolving Credit Facility and approximately €51.8 million ($60.2 million based on the prevailing exchange rate on that date) allocated to the Term Loan. The Company used all the proceeds from the increased borrowings under the Term Loan to repay amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Upon the Company's request, subject in all respects to the consent of the lenders in their sole discretion, the aggregate total commitments under the Credit Facility may be increased up to an aggregate additional amount of $35.6 million, allocated to either or both portions of the Credit Facility, with total commitments under the Credit Facility not to exceed $950.0 million. The Credit Facility consists of two components, a Revolving Credit Facility and a Term Loan. The Revolving Credit Facility is interest-only and matures on July 24, 2021, subject to one one-year extension at the Company’s option. The Term Loan portion of the Credit Facility is interest-only and matures on July 24, 2022. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate per annum based on an applicable margin that varies based on the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness and the consolidated total asset value of the Company and its subsidiaries plus either (i) LIBOR, as applicable to the currency being borrowed, or (ii) a “base rate” equal to the greatest of (a) KeyBank’s “prime rate,” (b) 0.5% above the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or (c) 1.0% above one-month LIBOR. The range of applicable interest rate margins is from 0.60% to 1.20% per annum with respect to base rate borrowings and 1.60% to 2.20% per annum with respect to LIBOR borrowings. As of March 31, 2019, the Credit Facility had a weighted-average effective interest rate of 2.6% after giving effect to interest rate swaps in place. The Credit Facility requires the Company through the OP to pay an unused fee per annum of 0.25% of the unused balance of the Revolving Credit Facility if the unused balance exceeds or is equal to 50% of the total commitment or a fee per annum of 0.15% of the unused balance of the Revolving Credit Facility if the unused balance is less than 50% of the total commitment. From and after the time the Company obtains an investment grade credit rating, the unused fee will be replaced with a facility fee based on the total commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility multiplied by 0.30%, decreasing as the Company’s credit rating increases. The availability of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on the value of a pool of eligible unencumbered real estate assets owned by the Company and compliance with various ratios related to those assets. As of March 31, 2019, approximately $149.2 million was available for future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Any future borrowings may, at the option of the Company, be denominated in USD, EUR, Canadian Dollars, British Pounds Sterling ("GBP") or Swiss Francs. Amounts borrowed may not, however, be converted to, or repaid in, another currency once borrowed. In April 2019, the Company, through certain wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a new loan agreement with Column Financial, Inc. and Société Générale Financial Corporation secured by 16 of the Company’s single tenant net leased office and industrial properties located in 12 states that were simultaneously removed from the borrowing base under the Revolving Credit Facility. For additional information, see Note 14 — Subsequent Events. The Company, through the OP, may reduce the amount committed under the Revolving Credit Facility and repay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs payable on LIBOR borrowings. In the event of a default, the lenders have the right to terminate their obligations under the Credit Facility agreement and to accelerate the payment on any unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans. The Credit Facility also imposes certain affirmative and negative covenants on the OP, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries including restrictive covenants with respect to, among other things, liens, indebtedness, investments, distributions (see additional information below), mergers and asset sales, as well as financial covenants requiring the OP to maintain, among other things, ratios related to leverage, secured leverage, fixed charge coverage and unencumbered debt services, as well as a minimum consolidated tangible net worth. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company may not pay distributions, including cash dividends payable with respect to Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, or any other classes or series of preferred stock that the Company may issue in a future offering, or redeem or otherwise repurchase shares of the Company's capital stock, Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, or any other classes or series of preferred stock the Company may issue in a future offering, that exceed 95% of the Company's Adjusted FFO as defined in the Credit Facility for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, except in limited circumstances, including that for one fiscal quarter in each calendar year, the Company may pay cash distributions, make redemptions and make repurchases in an aggregate amount equal to no more than 100% of its Adjusted FFO. The Company used the exception to pay dividends that were between 95% of Adjusted FFO to 100% of Adjusted FFO during the quarter ended on March 31, 2019. The Company’s ability to comply with the restrictions on the payment of distributions in the Credit Facility depends on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from its existing properties and through acquisitions or otherwise such that its cash flows in the applicable periods exceed the level of Adjusted FFO required by these restrictions. Among other things, there can be no assurance the Company will complete acquisitions and other investments on a timely basis or on acceptable terms and conditions, if at all. If the Company is not able to increase the amount of cash it has available to pay dividends, including through additional cash flows the Company expects to generate from completing acquisitions, the Company may have to reduce dividend payments or identify other financing sources to fund the payment of dividends at their current levels. Alternatively, the Company could elect to pay a portion of its dividends in shares if approved by the Company's board of directors. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have guaranteed the OP's obligations under the Credit Facility pursuant to a guarantee and a related contribution agreement which governs contribution rights of the guarantors in the event any amounts become payable under the guaranty.
