Insights

REIT capital structure analyst

$1.5B unsecured revolver extends liquidity to 2030 with optional upsizing.

The operating partnership secured an unsecured revolving facility of $1.5 billion with a $75 million LC sub-limit, replacing prior terms under a restated agreement. Pricing flexes with credit ratings: SOFR plus 0.65%–1.40% or base rate plus 0.00%–0.40%, aligning costs to credit quality. The facility is prepayable and allows borrow‑repay‑reborrow through maturity.

Maturity is January 21, 2030, with two optional six‑month extensions for fees of 0.05% and 0.075% of the then‑total commitment. An accordion can lift total capacity to $2.0 billion, subject to lender participation. Covenants cover leverage and fixed‑charge metrics typical for unsecured REIT credit.

Management lists uses for general corporate purposes, debt repayment, and backstopping the unsecured commercial paper program. Actual liquidity draw and interest expense will depend on borrowing activity; covenant compliance and any ratings changes will influence effective pricing.
