Basis Term Loan

In December 2019, six of the Company’s subsidiaries, as borrowers (collectively, the “Borrowers”), and Big Real Estate Finance I, LLC, a subsidiary of a real estate fund managed by Basis Management Group, LLC, as lender (the “Basis Lender”), entered into a loan agreement (the “Basis Loan Agreement”) pursuant to which the Basis Lender made a senior secured term loan of up to $66.9 million (the “Basis Term Loan”) to the Borrowers. Pursuant to the Basis Loan Agreement, the Basis Term Loan is secured by mortgages on the following properties: Coral Hills, Crestview, Dekalb, Midtown Colonial, Midtown Lamonticello and West Broad. The Basis Term Loan matures on January 1, 2023, subject to two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions. The Basis Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) LIBOR plus 3.850% per annum and (ii) 6.125% per annum. The Borrowers have entered into an interest rate cap that effectively caps LIBOR at 3.50% per annum. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate of the Basis Term Loan was 6.125% and the outstanding balance was $66.9 million.

The Basis Loan Agreement includes a debt service coverage calculation based on the trailing twelve months results which includes an adjustment for tenants that are more than one-month delinquent in paying rent. A debt service coverage ratio below 1.10x is a Cash Trap Trigger Event (as defined in the loan agreement), which gives the Basis Lender the right to institute a cash management period until the trigger is cured. A debt service coverage ratio below 1.05x for two consecutive calendar quarters gives the Basis Lender the right to remove the Company as manager of the properties. The Company was in compliance with debt service coverage calculation for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021.

Basis Preferred Interest

In December 2019, the Operating Partnership and Big BSP Investments, LLC, a subsidiary of a real estate fund managed by Basis Management Group, LLC (the “Preferred Investor”), entered into an amended and restated operating agreement (the “Sub-OP Operating Agreement”) of the Broad Street Big First OP LLC (the “Sub-OP”), a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. Pursuant to the Sub-OP Operating Agreement, among other things, the Preferred Investor committed to make an investment of up to $10.7 million in the Sub-OP, of which $6.9 million had been funded as of March 31, 2021, in exchange for a 1.0% membership interest in the Sub-OP designated as Class A units.

Pursuant to the Sub-OP Operating Agreement, the Preferred Investor is entitled to a cumulative annual return of 14.0% on its initial capital contribution (the “Class A Return”), and the Preferred Investor will be entitled to a 20% return (the “Enhanced Class A Return”) on any capital contribution made to the Sub-OP in excess of the $10.7 million commitment. The Preferred Investor’s interests must be redeemed on or before the earlier of: (i) January 1, 2023 and (ii) the date on which the Basis Term Loan is paid in full (the “Redemption Date”). The Redemption Date may be extended to December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, in each case subject to certain conditions, including the payment of a fee equal to 0.25% of the Preferred Investor’s net invested capital for the first extension option and a fee of 0.50% of the Preferred Investor’s net invested capital for the second extension option. If the redemption price is paid on or before the Redemption Date, then the redemption price will be equal to (a) all unreturned capital contributions made by the Preferred Investor, (b) all accrued but unpaid Class A Return, (c) all accrued but unpaid Enhanced Class A Return and (d) all costs and other expenses incurred by the Preferred Investor in connection with the enforcement of its rights under the Sub-OP Operating Agreement. Additionally, at the Redemption Date, the Preferred Investor is entitled to an amount equal to (a) the product of (i) the aggregate amount of capital contributions made and (ii) 0.4, less (b) the aggregate amount of Class A return payments made to the Preferred Investor (the “Minimum Multiple Amount”). As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Minimum Multiple Amount was approximately $1.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, which is included as indebtedness on the consolidated balance sheet.

On June 16, 2020, the Preferred Investor made two additional capital contributions available to the Sub-OP in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.9 million, which is classified as debt. The two capital contributions consisted of: (i) a $2.4 million capital contribution to the Sub-OP that the Sub-OP contributed to the Borrowers for purposes of making debt service payments under the Basis Loan Agreement and (ii) a $0.5 million capital contribution to the Sub-OP that the Sub-OP contributed to certain of its other property owning subsidiaries for purposes of making debt service payments on mortgage debt secured by the properties owned by such subsidiaries and making payments of the Class A return due to the Preferred Investor pursuant to the Sub-OP Operating Agreement. The Preferred Investor is entitled to a cumulative annual return of 13.0% on the additional capital contributions. As described below under the heading “—Mortgage Indebtedness,” the Company repaid approximately $0.75 million of these funds with the proceeds from the Vista mortgage refinance. As of the date of these financial statements, there was approximately $1.0 million remaining available to the Company from these capital contributions, which is included in restricted cash.  

MVB Loan

In December 2019, the Company, the Operating Partnership and BSR entered into a loan agreement (the “MVB Loan Agreement”) with MVB Bank, Inc. (“MVB”) with respect to a $6.5 million loan consisting of a $4.5 million term loan (the “MVB Term Loan”) and a $2.0 million revolving credit facility (the “MVB Revolver”). The MVB Term Loan matures on December 27, 2022 and the MVB Revolver had an original maturity date of December 27, 2020, which has been extended to December 27, 2022 under the terms described below. The MVB Term Loan has a fixed interest rate of 6.75% per annum. The MVB Revolver carries an interest rate of the greater of (i) Prime Rate plus 1.5% and (ii) 6.75%.

The Company has no additional availability under the MVB Term Loan and the MVB Revolver as of March 31, 2021.

The MVB Loan Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants. The MVB Loan Agreement also requires the Company to maintain (as such terms are defined in the MVB Loan Agreement) (i) a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.30 to 1.00, (ii) an EBITDA to consolidated funded debt ratio of at least 8.0%, (iii) an aggregate minimum unencumbered cash, including funds available under other lines of credit, of greater than $5.0 million (the “Minimum Liquidity Requirement”), and (iv) one or more deposit accounts with MVB with an aggregate minimum balance of $3.0 million (the “Deposit Requirement”). The failure to comply with the Deposit Requirement is not a default under the MVB Loan Agreement but will increase the interest rate under the MVB Term Loan and MVB Revolver by 1.0% until the Deposit Requirement has been satisfied.

In December 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the MVB Loan Agreement, which extended the maturity date of the MVB Revolver to December 27, 2021, and, in March 2021, the Company entered into another amendment to the MVB Loan Agreement which extended the maturity date of the MVB Revolver to December 27, 2022. The amendments also eliminate the revolving nature of the facility, require monthly principal payments as calculated over a 10-year amortization schedule, and require the repayment of $250,000 on each of the following dates (a) the earlier of March 31, 2021 or the closing of the Company’s pending mergers of the Highlandtown and Spotswood properties, (b) the earlier of September 30, 2021 or the closing of the Company’s pending merger of the Greenwood property, (c) March 31, 2022, and (d) September 30, 2022. The $250,000 payment owed by March 31, 2021 has been paid. Additionally, the amendments (i) deferred testing for covenants related to the Deposit Requirement, Minimum Liquidity Requirement and debt service coverage ratio covenant until June 30, 2021, (ii) deferred testing for the covenant related to the Company’s EBITDA to consolidated funded debt ratio until December 31, 2021, (iii) modified the debt service coverage ratio to 1.00 to 1 and (iv) modified the Minimum Liquidity Requirement to $3.0 million. These amendments were treated as modifications under applicable accounting standards.

Mortgage Indebtedness

In addition to the indebtedness described above, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $41.6 million and $38.1 million, respectively, of outstanding mortgage indebtedness secured by individual properties. The Hollinswood mortgage, Vista mortgage, Brookhill mortgage, and Lamar Station Plaza East mortgage require the Company to maintain a debt service coverage ratio (as such terms are defined in the respective loan agreements) of at least 1.40 to 1.00, 1.50 to 1.00, 1.35 to 1.00, and 1.25 to 1.00, respectively.

In March 2021, the Company completed the refinance of the Vista Shops mortgage loan. The new loan has a principal balance of $11.7 million, matures in June 2023, and carries an interest rate of 3.83% per annum. The Company deposited approximately $1.9 million of the proceeds from the refinance with the Basis Lender, which was applied as follows during the second quarter of 2021: (i) repaid approximately $0.75 million of the outstanding principal balance on the capital contributions, which are treated as debt, provided to the Company in June 2020 under the Basis Preferred Interest as described above under the heading “—Basis Preferred Interest”, (ii) paid approximately $46,000 in accrued interest on these funds and (iii) contributed approximately $1.1 million into an escrow account with the Basis Lender which will be used to pay down the outstanding principal balance of the capital contributions upon satisfaction of certain conditions.

PPP Loans

On April 20, 2020, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a promissory note (the “PPP Note”) with MVB with respect to an unsecured loan of approximately $0.8 million (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The PPP Loan bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per year. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company received forgiveness for its entire balance of the PPP Loan from the SBA, which is recognized as a gain on debt extinguishment in the Company’s statement of operations.   

On March 18, 2021, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a promissory note (the “Second PPP Note”) with MVB with respect to an unsecured loan of approximately $0.8 million (the “Second PPP Loan”) pursuant to the PPP. The Second PPP Loan bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per year. The Second PPP Note contains certain events of default relating to, among other things, failure to make any payment when due and material adverse changes in the borrower’s financial condition. The occurrence of an event of default, following any applicable cure period, would permit MVB to declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under the PPP Note to be immediately due and payable.

Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of a loan granted under the PPP, with such forgiveness to be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for payment of payroll costs and certain mortgage interest, rent and utility expenses. The terms of any forgiveness may also be subject to further requirements under any regulations and guidelines the SBA may adopt. The Company can provide no assurances that it will obtain forgiveness of the Second PPP Loan in whole or in part. If the Company does not obtain forgiveness it is required to make equal monthly payments of principal and interest to repay the loan in full upon maturity on March 18, 2026.

Deferred Financing Costs and Debt Discounts

The total amount of deferred financing costs associated with the Company’s debt as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $1.6 million, gross ($1.1 million, net) and $1.4 million, gross ($0.9 million, net), respectively. Debt discounts associated with the Company’s debt as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $1.5 million, gross ($0.9 million, net) and $1.4 million, gross ($0.9 million, net), respectively. Deferred financing costs and debt discounts are netted against the debt balance outstanding on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and will be amortized to interest expense through the maturity date of the related debt.

The Company recognized amortization expense of deferred financing costs and debt discounts, included in interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations, of approximately $0.2 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Interest Rate Cap and Interest Rate Swap Agreements

To mitigate exposure to interest rate risk, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement, effective December 27, 2019, on the full $66.9 million Basis Term Loan to cap the variable LIBOR interest rate at 3.5%. The Basis Term Loan bears interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) LIBOR plus 3.850% per annum and (ii) 6.125% per annum. As of March 31, 2021, the interest rate of the Basis Term Loan was 6.125%. The Company also entered into two interest rate swap agreements on the Hollinswood Loan to fix the interest rate at 4.06%. The swap agreements are effective as of December 27, 2019 on the outstanding balance of $10.2 million and on July 1, 2021 for the additional availability of $3.0 million under the Hollinswood Loan.

The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities at their fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The changes in the fair value of the Company’s derivatives, which do not qualify for hedge accounting, are recognized in earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized approximately $0.2 million in income and $0.6 million in expense, respectively, related to fair value adjustments on derivatives.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was an interest rate cap asset of less than $0.1 million for each period and an interest rate swap liability of approximately $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The interest rate cap asset is included in Other assets, net and the interest rate swap liability is included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet, respectively.

Covenants

The Company’s loan agreements contain customary financial and operating covenants including debt service coverage ratios and aggregate minimum unencumbered cash covenants. As described above under the heading “—MVB Loan”, the lender under the MVB Loan Agreement deferred covenant tests until June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under its debt agreements except for the debt service coverage ratio covenant under the Lamar Station Plaza East mortgage as described below.

In July 2020 the Company completed the Merger to acquire Lamar Station Plaza East, which included the assumption of $2.5 million in debt. Additionally, in connection with the Merger, the Company entered into a loan modification agreement, which increased the maximum principal amount available under the assumed loan agreement to $4.1 million. The loan was in default of the debt service coverage ratio (as defined in the loan agreement) upon the Company’s assumption of the loan agreement. In connection with the loan modification agreement, the lender agreed to forbear enforcement of the event of default subject to Company’s satisfaction of certain conditions, which the Company did not meet. The Company entered into a second loan modification agreement effective November 2020 pursuant to which the lender agreed to forbear enforcement of the events of default subject to the Company’s satisfaction of certain conditions including (i) issuance of a certificate of occupancy for a specified tenant on or before January 31, 2021 and (ii) the specified tenant taking full possession and occupancy of the space on or before January 31, 2021. The Company met both conditions required by the second loan modification. The lender’s forbearance applied to the default of the debt service coverage ratio calculation through December 31, 2020. The next debt service coverage ratio testing date is June 30, 2021 and the loan matures in July 2021.
