Negative

Insights
Recast boosts low-cost liquidity and extends debt maturities.
Postal Realty has expanded and extended its unsecured credit platform to $615 million, with a $275 million revolver and $340 million of term loans. This adds borrowing flexibility for acquisitions, refinancing and capital spending while centralizing terms under one amended agreement.
The facility cuts spreads by about 0.30% and locks in term loans at effective rates between 3.86% and 4.94%. A sustainability feature can trim margins a further 0.02%. Covenants on leverage, coverage and tangible net worth remain, which can constrain behavior if markets weaken but also help protect creditors.
The added $335 million accordion and the option to increase commitments under the credit agreement expand potential funding capacity, though actual usage will depend on future investments and market conditions. As of June 30, 2026, the share base of 38.3 million fully diluted shares provides context for assessing per-share impact of any future borrowing-driven growth.

6 terms
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement financial
"entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”)"
A second amended and restated credit agreement is a company’s loan contract that has been changed twice and rewritten into a single, updated document so all the terms are clear in one place. Investors care because it alters the company’s debt rules — such as interest rates, repayment schedule, and covenants — which affects cash flow, default risk, and the ability to invest or pay dividends; think of it like refinancing and reorganizing a mortgage that changes monthly payments and rules.
senior unsecured revolving credit facility financial
"provides for a (i) $275 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”)"
A senior unsecured revolving credit facility is a bank loan line that a company can draw, repay and redraw up to an agreed limit, similar to a company credit card. It is “senior” because lenders are paid before other creditors if the company fails, and “unsecured” because it isn’t backed by specific assets; investors watch it for signals about a company’s short-term cash flexibility, borrowing cost and financial risk.
Term Loan Facilities financial
"and (ii) $340 million of term loan facilities (the "Term Loan Facilities")"
A term loan facility is a formal loan from a bank or group of lenders that a company repays over a set period with regular payments, similar to a mortgage or car loan but sized for business needs. It matters to investors because these loans change a company’s future cash obligations, interest costs and borrowing risk—factors that affect profitability, creditworthiness and the need to refinance or raise extra capital.
accordion feature financial
"recast and expanded revolving credit facility ... includes $615 million of available borrowings and a $335 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.
SOFR financial
"interest at SOFR plus 1.15% to 1.55% ... and SOFR plus 1.10% to 1.50% per year"
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.
fixed charge coverage ratio financial
"including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, maximum total leverage ratio, minimum tangible net worth"
A fixed charge coverage ratio measures how well a company's operating income can cover its fixed, recurring obligations like interest payments and lease costs. Think of it as a safety margin — the higher the number, the more comfortably a business can pay steady bills from its normal earnings, which matters to investors because it signals financial stability, lower default risk, and greater ability to withstand revenue dips.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 2, 2026 (the “Closing Date”), Postal Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), as guarantor, Postal Realty LP (the “Operating Partnership”), as borrower, and certain indirect subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Truist Bank, as administrative agent, and certain lenders party thereto, which amends and restates in its entirety the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 19, 2025 (as such agreement was amended from time to time, the "Prior Credit Agreement") which was previously in effect.
The Credit Agreement provides for a (i) $275 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”), and (ii) $340 million of term loan facilities (the "Term Loan Facilities," and, collectively with the Revolving Facility, the "Credit Facilities"). The Term Loan Facilities consists of a (a) $90 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "2028 Term Loan"), all of which was previously advanced to the Operating Partnership under the Prior Credit Agreement and remains outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date, (b) $100 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "2029 Term Loan"), all of which was previously advanced to the Operating Partnership under the Prior Credit Agreement and remains outstanding under the Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date and (c) $150 million senior unsecured term loan (the "2031 Term Loan") consisting of (1) a $115 million term loan previously advanced to the Company under the Prior Credit Agreement and which remains outstanding as of the Closing Date and (2) $35 million of new term loans advanced to the Operating Partnership on the Closing Date. The Credit Agreement also provides that, subject to customary conditions, including obtaining lender commitments and compliance with its financial maintenance covenants under the Credit Agreement, the Operating Partnership may seek to increase the lending commitments under the Credit Agreement by up to $175 million, in the case of the Revolving Facility, and up to $160 million, in the case of the Term Loan Facilities or one or more new term loan facilities.
The Operating Partnership currently expects to use future borrowings under the Credit Facilities for general corporate and working capital purposes, which may include repayment of indebtedness, real estate acquisitions and investments and capital expenditures.
The Revolving Facility has a maturity date of November 15, 2030, the 2028 Term Loan has a maturity date of February 11, 2028, the 2029 Term Loan has a maturity date of February 11, 2029 and the 2031 Term Loan has a maturity date of January 15, 2031. Each of the Revolving Credit Facility and the 2031 Term Loan may be extended for one 12-month period at the Operating Partnership's discretion. The Operating Partnership may elect at any time and from time to time to prepay all or any portion of the loans under the Credit Facilities prior to maturity without premium or penalty, subject to payment of usual and customary breakage costs.
The interest rates applicable to loans under the Credit Facilities are, at the Operating Partnership’s option, equal to:
(i) in the case of the Revolving Facility, either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.15% to 0.55% per annum or SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.15% to 1.55% per annum; and
(ii) in the case of the Term Loan Facility, either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.10% to 0.50% per annum or SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.10% to 1.50% per annum, in each case based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. SOFR, as defined in the Credit Agreement, cannot be less than 0.00% at any time. In addition, with respect to the Revolving Facility, the Operating Partnership will pay, if the usage of the Revolving Facility is equal to or less than 50% thereof, an unused facility fee of 0.20% per annum, or if the usage of the Revolving Facility is greater than 50% thereof, an unused facility fee of 0.15% per annum, in each case on the average daily unused commitments under the Revolving Facility.
In addition, the Credit Agreement allows for a decrease in the applicable margin of the Credit Facilities by 0.02% if the Company achieves certain sustainability targets as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Facilities are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Company and certain indirect subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the
ability of the Company, the Operating Partnership and certain indirect subsidiaries of the Company to incur indebtedness, grant liens on their assets, make certain types of investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations, sell assets, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and pay dividends or make distributions. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to comply with consolidated financial maintenance covenants to be tested quarterly, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, maximum total leverage ratio, minimum tangible net worth, maximum secured leverage ratio, maximum unsecured leverage ratio and minimum unsecured debt service coverage ratio.
The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, including the failure to make timely payments under the Credit Facilities, any event or condition that makes other material indebtedness due prior to its scheduled maturity, the failure to satisfy certain covenants and specified events of bankruptcy and insolvency. The occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement may result in all loans and other obligations becoming immediately due and payable and the Credit Facilities being terminated and allow the lenders to exercise all rights and remedies available to them.
Several of the lenders and their affiliates have provided, and they and other lenders and their affiliates may in the future provide, various investment banking, commercial banking, fiduciary and advisory services for the Company and its subsidiaries for which they have received, and may in the future receive, customary fees and expenses.
The foregoing description of the Credit Facilities and the Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
