Bank Line of Credit and Term Loan

The Company’s $2.0 billion unsecured revolving line of credit facility (the “Facility”) matures on October 19, 2021 and contains two, six-month extension options. Borrowings under the Facility accrue interest at LIBOR plus a margin that depends on the Company’s credit ratings. The Company pays a facility fee on the entire revolving commitment that depends on its credit ratings. Based on the Company’s credit ratings at September 30, 2018, the margin on the Facility was 1.00% and the facility fee was 0.20%. The Facility also includes a feature that allows the Company to increase the borrowing capacity by an aggregate amount of up to $750 million, subject to securing additional commitments. At September 30, 2018, the Company had $637 million, including £55 million ($72 million), outstanding under the Facility, with a weighted average effective interest rate of 3.33%.

At September 30, 2018, the Company had $224 million outstanding on its term loan, which accrues interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.15%, subject to adjustments based on the Company’s credit ratings. On July 3, 2018, the Company exercised its one-time right to repay the outstanding British pound sterling (“GBP”) balance and re-borrow in U.S. Dollars (“USD”) with all other key terms unchanged, which resulted in repayment of the £169 million balance and re-borrowing of $224 million. The term loan continues to mature in January 2019 and contains a one-year committed extension option.

The Facility and term loan contain certain financial restrictions and other customary requirements, including cross-default provisions to other indebtedness. Among other things, these covenants, using terms defined in the agreements: (i) limit the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 60%; (ii) limit the ratio of Secured Debt to Consolidated Total Asset Value to 30%; (iii) limit the ratio of Unsecured Debt to Consolidated Unencumbered Asset Value to 60%; (iv) require a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage ratio of 1.5 times; and (v) require a Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of $6.5 billion. At September 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with each of these restrictions and requirements of the Facility and term loan.

Mortgage debt typically restricts transfer of the encumbered assets, prohibits additional liens, restricts prepayment, requires payment of real estate taxes, requires maintenance of the assets in good condition, requires insurance on the assets and includes conditions to obtain lender consent to enter into or terminate material leases. Some of the mortgage debt may require tenants or operators to maintain compliance with the applicable leases or operating agreements of such real estate assets.
