unsecured revolving credit facilityfinancial
"entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to amend and extend its existing unsecured revolving credit facility"
A revolving credit facility is a line of borrowing that a company can draw from, repay, and draw again up to a set limit; “unsecured” means the loans are not backed by specific assets as collateral. Investors care because it acts like a corporate credit card—giving short‑term cash flexibility to cover operations or unexpected needs—while signaling lenders’ confidence and affecting interest costs, default risk, and the company’s financial stability.
accordion featurefinancial
"The amendment provides for $260 million in available borrowings with a $340 million accordion feature"
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.
capitalization ratefinancial
"through the reduction of the capitalization rate from 6.5% to now 6.0% applied to the Net Operating Income"
The capitalization rate is a percentage that helps investors estimate how much money a property or investment might generate relative to its value. It’s similar to a return rate, showing how quickly an investment could pay for itself over time. This rate helps compare different investments and assess their potential profitability.
net operating incomefinancial
"applied to the Net Operating Income (“NOI”) generated by these unencumbered communities"
Net operating income is the profit a business makes from its core operations after subtracting the costs directly related to running those operations, but before accounting for taxes, interest, or other expenses. It shows how efficiently a company is generating income from its main activities. Investors use this figure to assess the company's operational performance and profitability.
secured overnight financing ratefinancial
"and is now equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.30% to 1.90%"
A secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) is a daily benchmark interest rate that reflects the cost of borrowing cash overnight using U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Think of it as the market price to “rent” cash for a day with a very safe pledge, similar to paying a short-term rental fee for money backed by government bonds. Investors track SOFR because it underpins pricing for loans, bonds and derivatives, so movements change borrowing costs, interest income and the valuation of interest-rate–linked positions.
prime lending ratefinancial
"or BMO’s prime lending rate plus 0.30% to 0.90%"
The prime lending rate is the interest rate banks typically charge their most creditworthy customers for loans; think of it as the store price that lenders offer to their best buyers. It matters to investors because many consumer and business loan rates, mortgages and corporate borrowing costs are tied to that rate, so changes act like a ripple that affects company profits, consumer spending and overall market valuations.
real estate investment trustfinancial
"a real estate investment trust (REIT) specializing in the ownership and operation of manufactured home communities"
A real estate investment trust (REIT) is a company that owns and manages income-producing properties—like apartment buildings, shopping centers, offices, or warehouses—and is required to pass most of its rental income to shareholders as dividends. Think of it as a shared property owner: instead of buying a whole building, investors buy a slice of a portfolio that pays regular income and can offer exposure to property values and rental markets without direct management. REITs matter to investors for predictable income, diversification, and liquidity compared with owning physical real estate.
forward-looking statementsregulatory
"Certain statements included in this press release which are not historical facts may be deemed forward-looking statements"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

FREEHOLD, NJ, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UMH Properties, Inc. (NYSE: UMH) (TASE: UMH), a real estate investment trust (REIT) specializing in the ownership and operation of manufactured home communities, today announced that it has entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to amend and extend its existing unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). The Facility is syndicated with three banks – BMO Capital Markets Corp. (“BMO”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”) as joint lead arrangers and joint book runners, with BMO Bank, N.A. as administrative agent.
The amendment provides for $260 million in available borrowings with a $340 million accordion feature, bringing the total potential availability up to $600 million, subject to certain conditions including obtaining commitments from additional lenders. The Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also extends the maturity date of the Facility from November 7, 2026 to May 7, 2030, with a further one-year extension available at the Company’s option, subject to certain conditions including payment of an extension fee. Availability under the amended Facility is limited to 60% of the value of a pool of unencumbered communities owned 100% by the Company. The value of these unencumbered communities increased through the reduction of the capitalization rate from 6.5% to now 6.0% applied to the Net Operating Income (“NOI”) generated by these unencumbered communities. Interest is based on the Company’s overall leverage ratio and has been reduced by approximately 35 to 40 basis points, depending on the Company’s overall leverage ratio, and is now equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.30% to 1.90%, or BMO’s prime lending rate plus 0.30% to 0.90%.
Samuel A. Landy, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "The expansion and extension of our Facility will further enhance our liquidity and strengthen the financial flexibility and balance sheet of our Company as we continue to execute our growth strategy. We are pleased to continue our long-term relationship with BMO, JPMorgan and Wells Fargo. We look forward to continued success with our partners.”
