Converted Term Loan

On September 8, 2017, BGC entered into a committed unsecured senior revolving credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The revolving credit agreement provides for revolving loans of up to $400.0 million. The maturity date of the facility is September 8, 2019. Borrowings under the Converted Term Loan bear interest at either LIBOR or a defined base rate plus an additional margin, which ranges from 50 basis points to 325 basis points depending on BGC’s debt rating as determined by S&P and Fitch and whether such loan is a LIBOR loan or a base rate loan. Since there were amounts outstanding under the term loan facility as of December 31, 2017, the pricing increased by 50 basis points until the term loan facility is paid in full, and if there are any amounts outstanding under the term loan facility as of June 30, 2018, the pricing shall increase by an additional 75 basis points (125 basis points in the aggregate) until the term loan facility is paid in full. From and after the repayment in full of the term loan facility, the pricing shall return to the levels previously described. On November 22, 2017, BGC and Newmark entered into an amendment to the unsecured senior revolving credit agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the then-outstanding borrowings of the BGC under the revolving credit facility were converted into a term loan. There was no change in the maturity date or interest rate. As of December 13, 2017, Newmark assumed the obligations of BGC as borrower under the Converted Term Loan (the “Converted Term Loan”). BGC remains a borrower under, and retains access to, the revolving credit facility for any future draws, subject to availability which increases as Newmark repays the Converted Term Loan. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were $400.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Converted Term Loan. As of March 31, 2018, the interest rate on the Converted Term Loan was 3.99%. Newmark recorded interest expense related to the Converted Term Loan of $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. There was no interest expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Term Loan

On September 8, 2017, BGC entered into a committed unsecured senior term loan credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders. The term loan credit agreement provides for loans of up to $575.0 million. The maturity date of the agreement is September 8, 2019. Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at either LIBOR or a defined base rate plus an additional margin which ranges from 50 basis points to 325 basis points depending on BGC’s debt rating as determined by S&P and Fitch and whether such loan is a LIBOR loan or a base rate loan. Since there were amounts outstanding under the term loan facility as of December 31, 2017, the pricing increased by 50 basis points until the term loan facility is paid in full and if there are any amounts outstanding under the term loan facility as of June 30, 2018, the pricing shall increase by an additional 75 basis points (125 basis points in the aggregate) until the term loan facility is paid in full. From and after the repayment in full of the term loan facility, the pricing shall return to the levels previously described. On November 22, 2017, BGC and Newmark entered into an amendment to the unsecured senior term loan credit agreement. Pursuant to the term loan amendment and effective as of December 13, 2017, Newmark assumed the obligations of the BGC as borrower under the senior term loan (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan is also subject to mandatory prepayment from 100% of net cash proceeds of all material asset sales and debt and equity issuances (subject to certain customary exceptions, including sales under the BGC’s CEO sales program). The proceeds from the IPO net of underwriting discounts of approximately $304.3 million have been used to partially repay the Term Loan. The proceeds from the exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares of Newmark Class A Common Stock in the IPO were also used to partially repay the Term Loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, Newmark repaid the outstanding balance of $270.7 million on the Term Loan. As of March 31, 2018, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan. Newmark recorded interest expense related to the Term Loan of $2.6 million for three months ended March 31, 2018.

On December 13, 2017, in connection with the Separation, Newmark assumed from BGC an aggregate of $300.0 million principal amount of its 2019 Promissory Note due December 9, 2019 and $112.5 million principal amount of its 2042 Promissory Note due June 26, 2042. Newmark’s Senior Notes are recorded at amortized cost. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Senior Notes were as follows (in thousands):

	March 31, 2018				December 31, 2017
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
2019 Promissory Notes	$	300,000	$	309,750	$	300,000	$	313,125
2042 Promissory Notes		112,500		115,650		112,500		116,550
	$	412,500	$	425,400	$	412,500	$	429,675
