Easterly Government Properties Closes Five-Year $200 Million Term Loan Facility

Key Terms

senior unsecured term loan facility financial

A senior unsecured term loan facility is a formal loan that a company borrows for a fixed period and repays according to an agreed schedule, where the lender has priority over most other creditors but the loan is not backed by specific assets as collateral. It matters to investors because it increases a company’s debt burden and affects financial risk and interest costs, while its senior status offers relative protection in the event of default, even though recovery may be lower than for secured debt.

accordion feature financial

An accordion feature is a clause in a loan or financing agreement that allows a company to expand the size of a credit line or the amount of securities available under the same contract without drafting a completely new deal. Like a suitcase that can be extended to hold more items, it gives a company quick flexibility to raise extra money, which can help fund growth but may increase debt or dilute existing shareholders—so investors watch it for changes in risk and ownership.

sofr financial

The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is a market benchmark that measures the cost of borrowing cash overnight using U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Investors watch SOFR because it acts like a speedometer for short-term interest costs—affecting loan rates, bond yields and the pricing of interest-rate contracts—so movements change borrowing expenses, cash returns and the value of interest-sensitive investments.

leverage ratio financial

Leverage ratio measures how much a company relies on borrowed money compared with its own funds or assets, typically expressed as debt relative to equity or total assets. Like a homeowner with a mortgage, higher leverage can amplify returns when business is strong but also raises the chance of big losses or default if revenue falls, so investors use it to judge financial risk and resilience.

(NYSE: DEA) (the “Company” or “Easterly”), a fully integrated real estate investment trust focused primarily on the acquisition, development and management of Class A commercial properties leased to the U.S. Government and its adjacent partners, announced today the closing of a new five-year $200 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan includes an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase commitments by up to $50 million, subject to certain conditions, for a total facility size of $250 million. The Term Loan will mature in June 2031.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Term Loan to repay borrowings outstanding under its unsecured $400 million revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

Borrowings under the new Term Loan will bear interest at a rate of SOFR, plus a spread of 1.20% to 1.70%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio. Given the Company's current leverage ratio, the Term Loan’s initial spread to SOFR is set at 1.30%.
