BrightSpire Capital (NYSE: BRSP) updates $120M revolver with covenants and 2028 maturity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

BrightSpire Capital, Inc. amended its main corporate credit facility through Amendment No. 1 to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The lenders provide a revolving credit facility with an aggregate principal commitment of up to $120.0 million, including up to $25.0 million available as letters of credit, with loans available in U.S. dollars and certain foreign currencies. The agreement also allows the borrowers to increase the maximum principal amount to up to $180.0 million, subject to additional lender commitments and customary conditions.

Borrowings bear interest at either a Term SOFR-based rate plus a 2.25% margin or a base rate plus a 1.25% margin, with an unused commitment fee of 0.25% or 0.35% per year depending on utilization. Availability is limited by a borrowing base tied to the adjusted net book value of certain investment assets, and the facility currently supports borrowings up to the full $120.0 million commitment. The ability to draw new amounts ends and outstanding revolving loans mature on December 8, 2028.

The obligations are guaranteed by substantially all material wholly owned subsidiaries of BrightSpire Capital Operating Company, LLC and secured by equity pledges and certain deposit accounts. The agreement includes covenants requiring minimum consolidated tangible net worth starting at $900,000,000 plus a portion of future equity proceeds, minimum coverage ratios, and a maximum consolidated total debt to consolidated total assets ratio of 0.80 to 1.00, along with customary events of default that could lead to termination of the facility and acceleration of repayment.

Insights

Credit and capital structure analyst

BrightSpire extends and structures a secured revolving credit facility with defined leverage and coverage covenants.

The amended facility provides a revolving commitment of up to $120.0 million, with the option to raise it to $180.0 million if additional lender commitments are obtained. This gives BrightSpire OP multi-currency funding flexibility through December 8, 2028, including up to $25.0 million for letters of credit tied to its investment activities.

Pricing is linked to benchmark rates, using either Term SOFR plus a 2.25% margin or a base rate plus a 1.25% margin, and includes unused commitment fees of 0.25% or 0.35%. Availability is governed by a borrowing base based on adjusted net book value of certain investment assets, and borrowings outstanding longer than 180 days reduce that borrowing base by 50% until repaid, encouraging shorter-term usage.

Financial covenants require minimum consolidated tangible net worth of at least $900,000,000 plus 70% of specified future equity proceeds, a minimum EBITDA plus lease expenses to fixed charges ratio of 1.40 to 1.00, a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00 to 1.00, and a consolidated total debt to consolidated total assets cap of 0.80 to 1.00. These tests, combined with guarantees from substantially all material wholly owned subsidiaries and collateral consisting of equity interests and deposit accounts, frame lender protections and could constrain leverage or distributions if performance weakens.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On December 9, 2025, BrightSpire Capital Operating Company, LLC (“BrightSpire OP”) (together with certain subsidiaries of BrightSpire OP from time to time party thereto as borrowers, collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into an Amendment No. 1 to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), dated as of January 28, 2022, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the several lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), pursuant to which Amended Credit Agreement the Lenders agreed to provide a revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $120.0 million, of which up to $25.0 million is available as letters of credit. Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement may be advanced in U.S. dollars and certain foreign currencies, including euros, pounds sterling and swiss francs.

The Amended Credit Agreement also includes an option for the Borrowers to increase the maximum available principal amount to up to $180.0 million, subject to one or more new or existing Lenders agreeing to provide such additional loan commitments and satisfaction of other customary conditions.

Advances under the Amended Credit Agreement accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to, at the applicable Borrower’s election, either (x) a Term SOFR rate plus a margin of 2.25%, or (y) a base rate equal to the highest of (i) the Wall Street Journal’s prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (iii) the Term SOFR rate for a one month interest period plus 1.00%, plus a margin of 1.25%. An unused commitment fee at a rate of 0.25% or 0.35%, per annum, depending on the amount of facility utilization, applies to unutilized borrowing capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement. Amounts owing under the Amended Credit Agreement may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage costs in the case of borrowings with respect to which a Term SOFR rate election is in effect.

The maximum amount available for borrowing at any time under the Amended Credit Agreement is limited to a borrowing base valuation of certain investment assets, with the valuation of such investment assets generally determined according to a percentage of adjusted net book value. As of the date hereof, the borrowing base valuation is sufficient to permit borrowings of up to the entire $120.0 million commitment. If any borrowing is outstanding for more than 180 days after its initial draw, the borrowing base valuation shall be reduced by 50% until all outstanding borrowings are repaid in full. The ability to borrow new amounts under the Amended Credit Agreement terminates and any outstanding revolving loans will mature on December 8, 2028.

The obligations of the Borrowers under the Amended Credit Agreement are guaranteed pursuant to a Guarantee and Collateral Agreement by substantially all material wholly owned subsidiaries of BrightSpire OP (the “Guarantors”) in favor of the Administrative Agent (the “Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”) and, subject to certain exceptions, secured by a pledge of substantially all equity interests owned by the Borrowers and the Guarantors, as well as by a security interest in deposit accounts of the Borrowers and the Guarantors (as such terms are defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) in which the proceeds of investment asset distributions are maintained.

The Amended Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, the obligation of the Company to maintain REIT status and be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other U.S. national or international securities exchange, and limitations on debt, liens and restricted payments. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement includes the following financial covenants applicable to BrightSpire OP and its consolidated subsidiaries: (a) minimum consolidated tangible net worth of BrightSpire OP greater than or equal to the sum of (i) $900,000,000 and (ii) 70% of the net cash proceeds received by BrightSpire OP from any offering of its common equity after December 9, 2025 and of the net cash proceeds from any offering by the Company of its common equity to the extent such proceeds are contributed to BrightSpire OP, excluding any such proceeds that are contributed to BrightSpire OP within ninety (90) days of receipt and applied to acquire capital stock of BrightSpire OP; (b) BrightSpire OP’s EBITDA plus lease expenses to fixed charges for any period of four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters not less than 1.40 to 1.00; (c) BrightSpire OP’s minimum interest coverage ratio not less than 3.00 to 1.00; and (d) BrightSpire OP’s ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated total assets must not exceed 0.80 to 1.00. The Amended Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including, among other things, failure to make payments when due, breach of covenants or representations, cross default to material indebtedness, material judgment defaults, bankruptcy matters involving any Borrower or any Guarantor and certain change of control events. The occurrence of an event of default will limit the ability of BrightSpire OP and its subsidiaries to make distributions and may result in the termination of the credit facility, acceleration of repayment obligations and the exercise of remedies by the Lenders with respect to the collateral.
