Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Vornado Realty L.P., the operating partnership of Vornado Realty Trust, amended and extended key credit agreements to push out debt maturities and adjust capacity. The company extended one revolving credit facility’s final maturity from December 2027 to February 2031, with available borrowing reduced from $1.25 billion to $1.105 billion, at a current rate of Term SOFR plus 105 basis points and a 25 basis point facility fee that can move slightly based on sustainability thresholds.

Insights

Real estate credit and capital structure analyst

Vornado extends major credit lines to 2031, modestly reshaping size and pricing.

Vornado Realty L.P. has renegotiated core bank financing, extending one revolving credit facility and a term loan from December 2027 to February 2031. The revolver’s commitment is adjusted from $1.25 billion to $1.105 billion, while the term loan increases from $800 million to $850 million. A second unsecured revolver maturing in April 2029 has its commitment raised from $915 million to $1.0 billion.

Pricing remains based on Term SOFR with relatively tight spreads: 105 basis points on the 2031 revolver, 120 basis points on the term loan, and 116 basis points on the 2029 revolver, plus low-20s basis point facility fees. Each facility incorporates small upward or downward adjustments in margins and fees tied to annual sustainability thresholds, linking borrowing costs to defined performance metrics.

The agreements embed leverage and coverage covenants common for investment‑grade REIT financing: total outstanding indebtedness and unsecured indebtedness are each capped at specified percentages of capitalization value, secured indebtedness is limited to fifty percent of capitalization value, and combined EBITDA-based coverage ratios must stay above 1.40x for fixed charges and 1.75x for unsecured interest. These conditions, together with customary events of default and acceleration rights, frame how much balance sheet flexibility Vornado retains under its updated bank platform.
