Principal balance does not include premium, net of $14.0 million and deferred financing costs, net of $7.5 million as of June 30, 2019 and does not include premium, net of $14.5 million and deferred financing costs, net of $7.1 million as of December 31, 2018.
The 2023 Notes were issued by the Operating Partnership and Sabra Capital Corporation, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “Issuers”). The 2023 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 5.375% per annum payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year.
On May 29, 2019, the Issuers completed an underwritten public offering of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2024 Notes. The net proceeds were $295.3 million after deducting underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. The net proceeds, together with borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below), were used to redeem the 2021 Notes as discussed below. The 2024 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.80% per annum payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The 2024 Notes are redeemable at the option of the Issuers, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, prior to May 1, 2024, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, plus a “make-whole” premium. The Issuers may also redeem the 2024 Notes on or after May 1, 2024, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Assuming the 2024 Notes are not redeemed, the 2024 Notes mature on June 1, 2024.
Additionally, on May 29, 2019, the Issuers issued a notice of redemption for all $500.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 2021 Notes. On June 29, 2019, the Company redeemed the 2021 Notes at a cash redemption price of 101.375% of the principal amount being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption resulted in $10.1 million of redemption related costs and write-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, including $6.9 million in payments made to noteholders and legal fees for early redemption and $3.2 million of write-offs associated with unamortized deferred financing and premium costs. These amounts are included in loss on extinguishment of debt on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.
The 2026 Notes and the 2027 Notes were assumed as a result of the CCP Merger and accrue interest at a rate of 5.125% and 5.38%, respectively, per annum. Interest is payable semiannually on February 15 and August 15 of each year for the 2026 Notes and on May 17 and November 17 of each year for the 2027 Notes.
The obligations under the 2023 Notes, 2024 Notes and 2027 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by Sabra and certain subsidiaries of Sabra; provided, however, that such guarantees are subject to release under certain customary circumstances. The obligations under the 2026 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on an unsecured basis, by Sabra; provided, however, that such guarantee is subject to release under certain customary circumstances. See Note 12, “Summarized Condensed Consolidating Information” for additional information concerning the circumstances pursuant to which the guarantors will be automatically and unconditionally released from their obligations under the guarantees.
The indentures and agreements (the “Senior Notes Indentures”) governing the 2023 Notes, 2024 Notes, 2026 Notes and 2027 Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) include customary events of default and require the Company to comply with specified restrictive covenants. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Senior Notes Indentures.
Credit Facility
Effective on August 17, 2017, the Operating Partnership and Sabra Canadian Holdings, LLC (together, the “Borrowers”), Sabra and the other parties thereto entered into a fourth amended and restated unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”).
The Credit Facility includes a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), $1.1 billion in U.S. dollar term loans and a CAD $125.0 million Canadian dollar term loan (collectively, the “Term Loans”). Further, up to $175.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for borrowings in certain foreign currencies. The Credit Facility also contains an accordion feature that can increase the total available borrowings to $2.5 billion, subject to terms and conditions.
The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of August 17, 2021, and includes two six-month extension options. $200.0 million of the U.S. dollar Term Loans has a maturity date of August 17, 2020, and the other Term Loans have a maturity date of August 17, 2022.
As of June 30, 2019, there was $275.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and $725.0 million available for borrowing.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable interest margin plus, at the Operating Partnership’s option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) a base rate determined as the greater of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (ii) the prime rate, and (iii) one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”). On August 17, 2017, Sabra’s ratings met the Investment Grade Ratings Criteria (as defined in the credit agreement), and Sabra elected to use the ratings-based applicable interest margin for borrowings which will vary based on the Debt Ratings, as defined in the credit agreement, and will range from 0.875% to 1.65% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 0.00% to 0.65% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. As of June 30, 2019, the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was 3.65%. In addition, the Operating Partnership pays a facility fee ranging between 0.125% and 0.300% per annum based on the aggregate amount of commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility regardless of amounts outstanding thereunder.
The U.S. dollar Term Loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to an applicable interest margin plus, at the Operating Partnership’s option, either (a) LIBOR or (b) the Base Rate. The ratings-based applicable interest margin for borrowings will vary based on the Debt Ratings, as defined in the credit agreement, and will range from 0.90% to 1.90% per annum for LIBOR based borrowings and 0.00% to 0.90% per annum for borrowings at the Base Rate. The Canadian dollar Term Loan bears interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) plus an interest margin that will range from 0.90% to 1.90% depending on the Debt Ratings.
On June 10, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix the CDOR portion of the interest rate for CAD $90.0 million of its Canadian dollar Term Loan at 1.59%. In addition, CAD $90.0 million of the Canadian dollar Term Loan was designated as a net investment hedge. On August 10, 2016, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements to fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate for $245.0 million of its U.S. dollar Term Loans at 0.90% and one interest rate swap agreement to fix the CDOR portion on CAD $35.0 million of its Canadian dollar Term Loan at 0.93%. See Note 8, “Derivative and Hedging Instruments” for further information.
As a result of the CCP Merger, the Company assumed eight interest rate swap agreements that fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate for $600 million of the Company’s U.S. dollar Term Loans at a weighted average rate of 1.31%. See Note 8, “Derivative and Hedging Instruments” for further information.
The obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by Sabra and certain subsidiaries of Sabra.
The Credit Facility contains customary covenants that include restrictions or limitations on the ability to make acquisitions and other investments, pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, engage in non-healthcare related business activities, enter into transactions with affiliates and sell or otherwise transfer certain assets as well as customary events of default. The Credit Facility also requires Sabra, through the Operating Partnership, to comply with specified financial covenants, which include a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum unsecured leverage ratio and a minimum tangible net worth requirement. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the Credit Facility.
Interest Expense
The Company incurred interest expense of $33.6 million and $69.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $36.8 million and $72.6 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Interest expense includes non-cash interest expense of $2.8 million and $5.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $2.5 million and $5.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $14.0 million and $24.0 million, respectively, of accrued interest included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
