DEBT FINANCING |
DEBT FINANCING
The Company's outstanding debt as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):
Credit Facility
On August 13, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment with a syndicated group of lenders consisting of 11 financial institutions to increase the total borrowing capacity under its unsecured credit facility (the "credit facility"), which was originally entered into on April 1, 2014, by $125.0 million for a total credit facility of $550.0 million. The Company has an additional expansion option under the credit facility, which if exercised, would provide for a total borrowing capacity of $700.0 million. The credit facility consists of two components:
The terms of the credit facility limit the Company's ability to make distributions, incur additional debt, and acquire or sell significant assets. The credit facility requires compliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants, including a maximum total leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and minimum net worth, which were not impacted by the increase amendment discussed above. At September 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
Unsecured Term Loan
On April 1, 2014, the Company entered into a senior unsecured term loan (the "unsecured term loan") with a syndicated group of lenders consisting of three financial institutions. The unsecured term loan provided for maximum borrowings of $50.0 million. The loan originally matured on April 1, 2015 but was extended until October 1, 2015 in exchange for a prescribed fee of $250,000. There was a mandatory repayment of this loan upon the occurrence of a capital event (such as completion of the Company's initial public offering) as defined in the loan agreement, and following the completion of our initial public offering, we used a portion of the net proceeds from our initial public offering to repay the $50.0 million unsecured term loan. The repayment resulted in a $0.2 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. Prior to the repayment, payments were limited to interest only, to be paid on a monthly basis, and the outstanding principal balance bore interest at one-month LIBOR plus 5.00%.
Fixed Rate Mortgages Payable
Fixed rate mortgages have scheduled maturities at various dates through November 2024, and have effective interest rates that range from 2.20% to 5.00%. Principal and interest are generally payable monthly or in monthly interest-only payments with balloon payments due at maturity. As discussed in Note 5, we assumed fixed rate mortgages of $49.9 million in connection with 17 of the properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. We repaid $11.0 million of these assumed mortgages during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
Variable Rate Mortgages Payable
Variable rate mortgages had contractual maturities at various dates through October 2015, and had effective interest rates that ranged from 2.43% to 9.65%. Following the completion of our initial public offering during the three months ended June 30, 2015, we used a portion of the net proceeds from our initial public offering to repay all $83.5 million of the outstanding variable rate mortgages. In connection with the repayments, the Company incurred a $0.5 million prepayment penalty and recorded a $0.2 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. Prior to the repayment, principal and interest on this debt was generally payable in monthly interest-only payments with balloon payments due at maturity.
