Public Storage Announces Upsized $3.0 Billion Revolving Credit Facility, New $500 Million Term Loan, and Establishes $1.0 Billion Commercial Paper Program
A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.
commercial paper programfinancial
A commercial paper program is a formal way a company issues very short-term IOUs to raise quick cash, typically for days to months, without using a bank loan. Investors care because it shows how the company manages short-term funding and how trustworthy it appears—like watching whether someone keeps using and repaying a credit card; frequent use or higher costs can signal cash strain, while smooth issuance suggests healthy liquidity.
sofrfinancial
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.
pari passufinancial
An instruction that different claims, securities, or creditors are treated equally and share rights or payments on the same priority level. For investors, it means their position will be paid or have voting power alongside others in the same class rather than being favored or subordinated—think of several people standing in one bus line who all get on together rather than some cutting ahead. That parity affects expected recovery in reorganizations, dividend order, and relative risk.
senior unsecured debtfinancial
A senior unsecured debt is a loan or bond that a company must repay before other unsecured obligations but is not backed by specific assets as collateral. Think of it as being earlier in line for repayment, like a preferred ticket in a queue, but without a guarantee you’ll get property if the company fails; that priority reduces risk compared with junior debt and affects expected interest rates and recovery prospects for investors.

FRISCO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Public Storage (NYSE:PSA) (“Public Storage” or the “Company”) announced today that it has closed a new $3.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), plus a $500 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “Term Loan”), and established a $1.0 billion unsecured commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”). The Revolver replaces in its entirety the Company’s $1.5 billion revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature June 12, 2027.
“The successful closing of our new credit facilities and the establishment of our Commercial Paper Program further strengthens Public Storage’s fortress balance sheet, enhances our liquidity, lowers our effective cost of capital, and expands our financial flexibility,” said Joe Fisher, President and Chief Financial Officer of Public Storage. “These actions are fully aligned with our PS4.0 strategy and reinforce the capability of our value creation engine — giving us efficient, scalable access to capital to fund accretive acquisitions, development and redevelopment, lending, and other high-return opportunities, while continuing to support the long-term per share growth of the business. We appreciate the continued confidence and support of our banking partners.”
The Revolver has total commitments of $3.0 billion available for borrowings in US dollars and certain foreign currencies and matures on June 25, 2030, with extension options available through June 25, 2031. The Term Loan is available to be drawn in up to four advances on or prior to December 22, 2026 and matures on June 25, 2031. The credit facility documentation also includes an accordion feature that permits Public Storage to increase total commitments under the Revolver or incur additional term loans by up to $2 billion, subject to obtaining additional lender commitments. Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest at SOFR plus 0.650% based on the Company’s current credit ratings, a reduction of 15 basis points as compared to the prior facility. Once drawn, the Term Loan will bear interest at SOFR plus 0.700% based on the Company’s current credit ratings. The spread applicable to both the Revolver and the Term Loan may increase or decrease in the future based on any change to Public Storage’s credit ratings.
Commercial paper notes issued under the Commercial Paper Program will rank pari passu with all of Public Storage’s other senior unsecured debt and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Public Storage.
Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is serving as Agent for the Credit Facility. Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acted as joint bookrunners.
