In 2017, the Company amended and restated its unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions, arranged by J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Citizens Bank, N.A., RBC Capital Markets and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”). The Unsecured Credit Facility was amended to increase borrowing capacity to up to $950 million from $750 million and to extend the maturity date to September 2021, if certain financial covenants are maintained. The amendment also provided for two six-month options to extend the maturity to September 2022 upon the Company’s request and increased the accordion feature for expansion of availability up to $1.45 billion from $1.25 billion, provided that new or existing lenders agree to the existing terms of the facility and increase their commitment level. The Unsecured Credit Facility includes a competitive bid option on periodic interest rates for up to 50% of the facility. The Unsecured Credit Facility also provides for an annual facility fee, which was 25 basis points on the entire facility at December 31, 2017. The Company also maintains a $50 million unsecured revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association (the “PNC Facility” and, together with the Unsecured Credit Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facilities”). The PNC Facility was also amended in 2017 to reflect substantially the same terms as the Unsecured Credit Facility. The Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities bear interest at variable rates at the Company’s election, based on either LIBOR, plus a specified spread (1.2% at December 31, 2017) or the Alternative Base Rate, plus a specified spread (0.20% at December 31, 2017), as defined in the respective facility. The specified spreads vary depending on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured debt rating from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and S&P Global Ratings and their successors. The Company is required to comply with certain covenants under the Revolving Credit Facilities relating to total outstanding indebtedness, secured indebtedness, value of unencumbered real estate assets and fixed charge coverage. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants at December 31, 2017 and 2016.
