Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Office Properties Income Trust (OPI) issued $425.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.75% senior secured notes due October 1, 2031. Certain subsidiaries guarantee the notes. They are secured by first-priority liens on 19 office properties and 100% of the equity interests in the subsidiary guarantors; those liens are senior to liens securing OPI’s 10.000% senior secured notes due 2031 on the same collateral, subject to an intercreditor agreement. Interest is payable semi-annually, beginning April 1, 2027.

OPI used the notes’ net proceeds, together with cash on hand, to repay all outstanding borrowings under its secured revolving credit facility and secured term loan, including $425.0 million of principal indebtedness, and terminated the credit agreement. That agreement provided for a $325.0 million revolving facility and a $100.0 million term loan. The indenture includes a total unencumbered asset ratio requirement and restrictions on additional debt, liens, and transfers of collateral, among other covenants.

Filing Explained

A defined change-of-control event requires an offer to buy all notes for cash at one hundred one percent of principal; OPI also has early-redemption options.

The issued notes allow OPI to redeem some or all before maturity: before October 1, 2028, at 100% of principal plus a make-whole premium; on or after that date, scheduled prices are 104.375% in 2028, 102.188% in 2029, and 100% from 2030 onward.

Before October 1, 2029, OPI may also redeem up to 40% of the notes using proceeds from certain equity offerings, at 108.75% of principal plus accrued interest.

If a defined change of control occurs, OPI must offer to buy all outstanding notes for cash at 101% of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest.

senior secured notes financial
"8.75% senior secured notes due 2031"
Senior secured notes are loans a company sells to investors that are backed by specific assets and given first priority for repayment if the company defaults. Because they have a claim on collateral and are paid before other debts, they usually offer lower risk and correspondingly lower interest than unsecured debt; investors use them to judge how safe repayment and recovery of principal might be, like holding a mortgage instead of an unsecured credit card balance.
first-priority lien financial
"secured by a first-priority lien and security interest"
A first-priority lien is a legal claim that gives one lender or creditor the top spot to seize and sell specified assets if a borrower fails to pay. For investors, it matters because being first in line usually means a higher chance of recovering money after a default, lowering risk compared with holders who are behind in the queue — like a person cutting to the front of a checkout line for payment from the same pile of goods.
intercreditor agreement financial
"subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement"
A legal contract among multiple lenders that sets the rules for how their different loans and security interests rank, how payments and collateral are handled, and how disputes are resolved if a borrower defaults. It matters to investors because it determines which creditors get paid first and under what conditions, like a traffic plan that decides which cars can go first at an intersection when everyone wants the same road, affecting recovery and risk.
total unencumbered asset ratio financial
"requires us to maintain a total unencumbered asset ratio"
make-whole premium financial
"plus the applicable “make-whole” premium"
A make-whole premium is an extra payment a borrower must give bondholders when repaying debt early to compensate them for lost future interest; think of it as a lump-sum “catch-up” to leave lenders financially where they would have been if the loan had run its full term. It matters to investors because it affects how much they receive on early redemption and influences a company’s decision to refinance or repay debt, altering bond value and expected returns.
Change of Control financial
"if a Change of Control occurs"
A change of control occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a sale, merger, or acquisition, resulting in new leadership or ownership structure. This change can impact the company's direction and decision-making, which is important for investors because it may affect the company's stability, strategy, and future prospects.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

  

On September 24, 2026, we issued $425.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.75% senior secured notes due 2031 (the “Notes”).  The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint, several and senior secured basis, by certain of our subsidiaries (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The Notes and the guarantees provided by the Subsidiary Guarantors will be secured by a first-priority lien and security interest on 19 office properties and 100% of the equity interests in each of the Subsidiary Guarantors (collectively, the “Collateral”). The liens securing the Notes are senior to the liens securing our 10.000% senior secured notes due 2031 on the Collateral, subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement. The Notes and the guarantees thereof were issued under an indenture, dated as of September 24, 2026 (the “Indenture”), among us, the Subsidiary Guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent.

 

We used the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with cash on hand, to repay all of the outstanding borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility and our secured term loan.

 

Unless previously redeemed, the Notes will mature on October 1, 2031. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1, beginning on April 1, 2027, at a rate of 8.75% per annum.

 

Prior to October 1, 2028, we may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon giving not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice to holders of the Notes (the “Holders”), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus the applicable “make-whole” premium as of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date. At any time on or after October 1, 2028, we may redeem on any one or more occasions all or a part of the Notes at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date (subject to the right of Holders on the applicable record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date occurring on or prior to such redemption date), if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on October 1 of the years indicated below:

 

Year  Percentage 
2028    104.375%
2029    102.188%
2030 and thereafter    100.000%

 

In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to October 1, 2029, we may redeem up to 40% of the Notes using the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 108.75% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the applicable redemption date.

 

The Indenture, among other things, requires us to maintain a total unencumbered asset ratio, limits the ability of us and our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and restricts our ability and the ability of the Subsidiary Guarantors to incur liens on, sell, transfer or otherwise convey the Collateral, engage in certain affiliate transactions and to consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their respective assets and the ability of the Subsidiary Guarantors to hold material assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important qualifications and limitations.

 

In addition, if a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture) occurs, we will be required to offer to purchase all of the outstanding Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the applicable repurchase date.

 

The Indenture also provides for customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants following any applicable cure period, cross acceleration of certain debt and certain events relating to bankruptcy and liquidation.

 

 

 

 

The Notes and related guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. The Notes were offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

 

This Current Report does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
