Mortgage Debt, Net

At September 30, 2017, our mortgage notes payable bore interest at fixed annual rates ranging from 1.9% to 7.4% and variable contractual annual rates ranging from 1.3% to 6.0%, with maturity dates ranging from 2017 to 2039.

Financing Activity During 2017

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we drew down on two non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $25.1 million that have a weighted-average interest rate of 3.1% and term of seven years. In addition, we refinanced two non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $157.7 million with new loans of $180.0 million that have a weighted-average interest rate of 2.8% and term of three years.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repaid eight non-recourse mortgage loans totaling $160.5 million, seven of which were scheduled to mature in 2017 and one of which was scheduled to mature in 2018 (amount is based on the exchange rate of the euro as of the date of repayment, as applicable). Of that amount, $60.0 million pertained to the non-recourse mortgage loan that was paid down in connection with the I-drive Property disposition (Note 4, Note 13), on which we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million. In addition, in connection with our disposition of a property located in Pordenone, Italy, which was part of a larger portfolio of properties located throughout Italy leased to a single tenant, we repaid a portion of the principal balance of the mortgage loan on that portfolio for a total of $9.3 million (amount is based on the exchange rate of the euro as of the date of repayment).

In March 2017, we completed the sale of the KBR II property (Note 13), which had a non-recourse mortgage loan of $31.2 million at the time of sale. This mortgage loan, which has an interest rate 4.9% and is scheduled to mature in January 2024, has since been recollateralized with two of our existing net-lease properties. As a result of the swapping of the collateral of this loan, this debt is now considered to be a recourse mortgage loan to us in the event of a default.

Senior Credit Facility

On August 26, 2015, we entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, and a syndicate of other lenders, which we refer to herein as the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement was amended on March 31, 2016 to clarify the Restricted Payments covenant (see below); no other terms were changed. The Credit Agreement provides for a $200.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, or the Revolver, and a $50.0 million delayed-draw term loan facility, or the Term Loan. We refer to the Revolver and the Term Loan together as the Senior Credit Facility, which has a maximum aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million and, subject to lender approval, an accordion feature of $250.0 million. The Senior Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on August 26, 2018, and may be extended by us for two 12-month periods.

The Senior Credit Facility provides for an annual interest rate of either (i) the Eurocurrency Rate or (ii) the Base Rate, in each case plus the Applicable Rate (each as defined in the Credit Agreement). With respect to the Revolver, the Applicable Rate on Eurocurrency loans and letters of credit ranges from 1.50% to 2.25% (based on London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR) and the Applicable Rate on Base Rate loans ranges from 0.50% to 1.25% (as defined in the Credit Agreement), depending on our leverage ratio. With respect to the Term Loan, the Applicable Rate on Eurocurrency loans and letters of credit ranges from 1.45% to 2.20% (based on LIBOR) and the Applicable Rate on Base Rate loans ranges from 0.45% to 1.20% (as defined in the Credit Agreement), depending on our leverage ratio. In addition, we pay a fee of either 0.15% or 0.30% on the unused portion of the Senior Credit Facility. If usage of the Senior Credit Facility is equal to or greater than 50% of the Aggregate Commitments, the Unused Fee Rate will be 0.15%, and if usage of the Senior Credit Facility is less than 50% of the Aggregate Commitments, the Unused Fee Rate will be 0.30%. In connection with the transaction, we incurred costs of $1.9 million, which are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the Senior Credit Facility.

Includes unamortized deferred financing costs and discounts.

On September 30, 2016, we exercised the delayed draw option on our Term Loan and borrowed $50.0 million. The Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR + 1.45% and is scheduled to mature on August 26, 2018, unless extended pursuant to its terms. The Revolver and Term Loan are used for our working capital needs and for new investments, as well as for general corporate purposes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we drew down $67.3 million from our Senior Credit Facility (amount is based on the exchange rate of the euro on the date of each draw), all of which has since been repaid.

We are required to ensure that the total Restricted Payments (as defined in the amended Credit Agreement) in an aggregate amount in any fiscal year does not exceed the greater of 95% of Modified funds from operations, or MFFO, and the amount of Restricted Payments required in order for us to (i) maintain our REIT status and (ii) avoid the payment of federal or state income or excise tax. Restricted Payments include quarterly dividends and the total amount of shares repurchased by us, if any, in excess of $100.0 million per year. In addition to placing limitations on dividend distributions and share repurchases, the Credit Agreement also stipulates certain customary financial covenants. We were in compliance with all such covenants at September 30, 2017.

Certain amounts in the table above are based on the applicable foreign currency exchange rate at September 30, 2017. The carrying value of our Debt, net increased by $69.1 million from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 due the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies, particularly the euro, during the same period.
