(a)

During the first quarter of 2020, the weighted average interest rate for the Company’s unsecured credit facilities increased 14 bps (ranging from an increase of 10 bps to 15 bps for each individual borrowing) as a result of a slight increase in the Company’s leverage ratio.

 

(b)

The revolving credit facility is subject to a one-year extension at the Company’s option.

 

(c)

The interest rates on these term loans consist of LIBOR plus a credit spread based on the Company’s leverage ratio, for which the Company has interest rate swap agreements which convert the LIBOR rates to fixed rates. Accordingly, these term loans are presented as fixed-rate debt. 

 

(d)

The current interest rate swap agreement expires in February 2020 at which time a new interest rate swap agreement will begin resulting in an effective interest rate of 3.2%, based on the Company’s leverage ratio at December 31, 2019.

During 2018 and 2017, in connection with mortgage repayments, the Company incurred charges relating to early extinguishment of mortgage loans payable (prepayment penalties and accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs) of $4.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively, included in continuing operations.

 


Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans

The Company has a $300 million unsecured credit facility which, as amended and restated on September 8, 2017, consists of (1) a $250 million revolving credit facility, expiring on September 8, 2021, and (2) a $50 million term loan, expiring on September 8, 2022.  The revolving credit facility may be extended, at the Company’s option, for an additional one-year period, subject to customary conditions. Under an accordion feature, the facility can be increased to $750 million, subject to customary conditions and lending commitments. Interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility component can range from LIBOR plus 135 basis points (“bps”) to 195 bps (135 bps at December 31, 2019) and interest on borrowings under the term loan component can range from LIBOR plus 130 to 190 bps (130 bps at December 31, 2019), each based on the Company’s leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $95.6 million available for additional borrowings under the revolving credit facility.     

 

On July 24, 2018, the Company closed a new $75.0 million unsecured term loan maturing on July 24, 2025 (all of which was borrowed on September 28, 2018). Interest on borrowings under the term loan can range from LIBOR plus 170 to 225 bps (170 bps at December 31, 2019) based on the Company’s leverage ratio. Additionally, the Company entered into forward interest rate swap agreements which convert the LIBOR rate to a fixed rate through its maturity. 

The details of the remaining unsecured term loans are as follows:

The Company’s unsecured credit facility and term loans contain financial covenants including, but not limited to, maximum debt leverage, maximum secured debt, minimum fixed charge coverage, and minimum net worth. In addition, the facility contains restrictions including, but not limited to, limits on indebtedness, certain investments and distributions. Although the credit facility is unsecured, borrowing availability is based on unencumbered property adjusted net operating income, as defined in the agreements. The Company’s failure to comply with the covenants or the occurrence of an event of default under the facilities could result in the acceleration of the related debt. As of December 31, 2019, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants. Interest on borrowings under the unsecured credit facility and terms loans are based on the Company’s leverage ratio.

Derivative Financial Instruments

At December 31, 2019, the Company had $0.1 million included in other assets and deferred charges, net, in addition to $7.2 million included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet relating to the fair value of the interest rate swaps applicable to the unsecured term loans discussed above. Charges and/or credits relating to the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are made to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), noncontrolling interests (minority interests in consolidated joint ventures and limited partners’ interest), or operations (included in interest expense), as applicable. Over time, the unrealized gains and losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into earnings as an increase or reduction to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. The Company estimates that approximately $1.8 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified as a charge to earnings within the next twelve months.

The following is a summary of the derivative financial instruments held by the Company at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:
