RLJ Lodging Trust has executed a broad refinancing that pushes all of its debt maturities out beyond 2028 and is expected to address its $500 million senior notes maturing in July 2026. The centerpiece is a Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that extends the $600 million revolving credit facility’s maturity from May 2027 to February 2030, with additional extension options, and adds a new $569 million unsecured delayed-draw term loan replacing a $225 million term loan.
The company now has $225 million outstanding under the new Tranche A-1 Term Loan and $500 million outstanding under an existing Tranche A-2 Term Loan, both unsecured and tied to SOFR- or base-rate-based pricing that varies with leverage. It also put in place a new $150 million unsecured delayed-draw term loan maturing in 2033 and refinanced two mortgage loans totaling about $155 million, extending their final maturity, including extensions, to April 2031. Management highlights that despite today’s higher rate environment, the new facilities were priced on attractive terms and are designed to ladder maturities and support redevelopment, acquisitions, capital spending, dividends and general corporate purposes.
