Safehold Announces New $500 Million Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

 

NEW YORK, January 9, 2023

 

Safehold Inc. (NYSE: SAFE), the creator of the modern ground lease industry, announced today that it has closed a new $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The new facility has a current borrowing rate of adjusted SOFR plus 100 basis points, with a maturity of July 31, 2025. Safehold has also amended its existing $1.35 billion revolving credit facility primarily to transition from LIBOR to SOFR. Both facilities are subject to a pricing grid based on Safehold’s credit ratings.

 

“We appreciate the support of both existing and new banking relationships in their commitment to our growth,” said Brett Asnas, Chief Financial Officer. “As our business and capital sources expand, our focus is to prudently manage the balance sheet.”

 

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. is the administrative agent for this revolving credit facility with BofA Securities, Inc., Mizuho Bank, LTD., Royal Bank of Canada, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and Truist Securities, Inc. acting as the joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers on the transaction. Goldman Sachs Bank USA and Raymond James Bank, N.A. will also act as lenders under this revolving credit facility.
