During 2023, we entered into a $125.0 million unsecured term loan (the “2023 Term Loan”) with an interest rate of SOFR (subject to a credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points) plus a margin of 95 basis points (subject to adjustment depending on Elme Communities’ credit rating). The 2023 Term Loan had an initial two-year term ending in January 2025, with two one-year extension options. We used the proceeds to prepay the remaining $100.0 million portion of the $250.0 million unsecured 2018 term loan in full and a portion of our borrowings under our previous revolving credit facility.

During 2024, we entered into a first amendment of the 2023 Term Loan (the “Term Loan Amendment”). The Term Loan Amendment implements various covenant and technical amendments to make the 2023 Term Loan consistent with corresponding provisions in the Amended Credit Agreement. The Term Loan Amendment does not change the maturity or any of the pricing terms of the term loan outstanding under the 2023 Term Loan.
During 2024, we exercised one of two one-year extension options on the 2023 Term Loan to extend the maturity of the loan to January 10, 2026. The interest rate on the 2023 Term Loan is effectively fixed at 5.77% by two interest rate swap arrangements through its maturity date of January 10, 2026 (see note 6).
