The table below details the outstanding balances as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 under the credit agreement with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), as agent, and the other lender parties thereto, which provides for a $835.0 million senior unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a €359.6 million ($403.7 million based on the prevailing exchange rate as of June 30, 2020) senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan” and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility was originally entered into on July 24, 2017 and it has been amended from time to time. On August 1, 2019, the Company, through the OP, entered into an amendment and restatement of the credit agreement related to the Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility Amendment”) to, among other things, increase the aggregate total commitments, lower the interest rate and revise certain covenants.

Credit Facility - Terms

Under the Credit Facility Amendment, the aggregate total commitments under the Credit Facility were increased from $914.4 million to $1.235 billion, based on the USD equivalent on August 1, 2019, the date of the closing. Following the Credit Facility Amendment, upon the Company’s request, subject in all respects to the consent of the lenders in their sole discretion, these aggregate total commitments under the Credit Facility may be increased up to an aggregate additional amount of approximately $515.0 million, allocated to either or both portions of the Credit Facility, with total commitments under the Credit Facility not to exceed $1.75 billion, increased from the previous maximum of $950.0 million.

The Credit Facility consists of two components, a Revolving Credit Facility and a Term Loan, both of which are interest-only. Following the Credit Facility Amendment, the Revolving Credit Facility matures on August 1, 2023, subject to two six-month extensions at the Company’s option, and the Term Loan matures on August 1, 2024. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate per annum based on an applicable margin that varies based on the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness and the consolidated total asset value of the Company and its subsidiaries plus either (i) LIBOR, as applicable to the currency being borrowed, or (ii) a “base rate” equal to the greatest of (a) KeyBank’s “prime rate,” (b) 0.5% above the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or (c) 1.0% above one-month LIBOR. Prior to the Credit Facility Amendment, the range of applicable interest rate margins was from 0.60% to 1.20% per annum with respect to base rate borrowings and 1.60% to 2.20% per annum with respect to LIBOR borrowings. Following the Credit Facility Amendment, the applicable interest rate margin is based on a range from 0.45% to 1.05% per annum with respect to base rate borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, 1.45% to 2.05% per annum with respect to LIBOR borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, 0.40% to 1.00% per annum with respect to base rate borrowings under the Term Loan and 1.40% to 2.00% per annum with respect to LIBOR borrowings under the Term Loan. The Credit Facility Amendment also added terms governing the establishment of a replacement index to serve as an alternative to LIBOR, if necessary. As of June 30, 2020, the Credit Facility had a weighted-average effective interest rate of 2.7% after giving effect to interest rate swaps in place.

It is anticipated that LIBOR will only be available in substantially its current form until the end of 2021. To transition from LIBOR under the Credit Facility, the Company anticipates that it will either utilize the Base Rate or negotiate a replacement reference rate for LIBOR with the lenders.

The Credit Facility requires the Company through the OP to pay an unused fee per annum of 0.25% of the unused balance of the Revolving Credit Facility if the unused balance exceeds or is equal to 50% of the total commitment or a fee per annum of 0.15% of the unused balance of the Revolving Credit Facility if the unused balance is less than 50% of the total commitment. From and after the time the Company obtains an investment grade credit rating, the unused fee will be replaced with a facility fee based on the total commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility multiplied by 0.30%, decreasing as the Company’s credit rating increases.

The availability of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on the value of a pool of eligible unencumbered real estate assets owned by the Company and compliance with various ratios related to those assets, and the Credit Facility Amendment also included amendments to provisions governing the calculation of the value of the borrowing base. As of June 30, 2020, approximately $14.2 million was available for future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Any future borrowings may, at the option of the Company, be denominated in USD, EUR, Canadian Dollars, GBP or Swiss Francs. Amounts borrowed may not, however, be converted to, or repaid in, another currency once borrowed. The Term Loan is denominated in EUR.

The Company, through the OP, may reduce the amount committed under the Revolving Credit Facility and repay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs payable on LIBOR borrowings. In the event of a default, lenders have the right to terminate their obligations under the Credit Facility agreement and to accelerate the payment on any unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans. The Credit Facility also imposes certain affirmative and negative covenants on the OP, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries including restrictive covenants with respect to, among other things, liens, indebtedness, investments, distributions (see additional information below), mergers and asset sales, as well as financial covenants requiring the OP to maintain, among other things, ratios related to leverage, secured leverage, fixed charge coverage and unencumbered debt services, as well as a minimum consolidated tangible net worth.

The Credit Facility Amendment also revised certain affirmative and negative covenants on the OP, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries including financial covenants and the covenant restricting the payment of distributions. The revisions to the restrictive covenants with respect to distributions increased the maximum amount the Company may use to pay cash distributions. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company may not pay distributions, including cash dividends payable with respect to Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or any other class or series of stock the Company may issue

in the future, or redeem or otherwise repurchase shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or any other class or series of stock the Company may issue in the future that exceed a threshold level of the Company’s Adjusted FFO, as defined in the Credit Facility (which is different from AFFO disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). Pursuant to the Credit Facility Amendment, this maximum threshold was increased from 95% to 100% of the Company’s Adjusted FFO for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, except in limited circumstances, including that for one fiscal quarter in each calendar year, the Company may pay cash dividends and other distributions, and make redemptions and other repurchases in an aggregate amount equal to no more than 100% of its Adjusted FFO prior to the Credit Facility Amendment and 105% of Adjusted AFFO after the Credit Facility Amendment. Following the Credit Facility Amendment, from and after the time the Company obtains and continues to maintain an investment grade rating, the limitation on distributions discussed above will not be applicable. The Company used the exception to pay dividends that were between 95% of Adjusted FFO to 100% of Adjusted FFO during the quarter ended on March 31, 2019.

The Company’s ability to comply with the restrictions on the payment of distributions in the Credit Facility depends on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from its existing properties and through acquisitions or otherwise such that its cash flows in the applicable periods exceed the level of Adjusted FFO required by these restrictions. Among other things, there can be no assurance the Company will complete acquisitions and other investments on a timely basis or on acceptable terms and conditions, if at all. If the Company is not able to increase the amount of cash it has available to pay dividends, including through additional cash flows the Company expects to generate from completing acquisitions, the Company may have to reduce dividend payments or identify other financing sources to fund the payment of dividends at their current levels. Alternatively, the Company could elect to pay a portion of its dividends in shares if approved by the Company’s board of directors.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries have guaranteed the OP’s obligations under the Credit Facility pursuant to a guarantee and a related contribution agreement which governs contribution rights of the guarantors in the event any amounts become payable under the guaranty.
