On December 31, 2012, the Company repaid the entire portion of the four-year loan that was swapped to fixed (see related discussion below).

The Parent Company unconditionally guarantees the unsecured debt obligations of the Operating Partnership (or is a co-borrower with the Operating Partnership) but does not by itself incur unsecured indebtedness.

The Company utilizes its unsecured new revolving credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") for potential borrowings and for general business purposes, including the acquisition, development and redevelopment of properties and the repayment of other debt. The maturity date of the New Credit Facility in place at December 31, 2012 is February 1, 2016. The per annum variable interest rate on the outstanding balances is LIBOR plus 1.50%. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment upon a change in the Company’s unsecured debt ratings. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $69.0 million of borrowings, with $0.9 million in letters of credit outstanding, leaving $530.1 million of unused availability under the New Credit Facility. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the weighted-average interest rate on the respective credit facility borrowings was 1.02% and 0.99%, respectively. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the weighted average interest rate on the respective credit facility was 2.83% and 1.01%, respectively.

The Company has the option to increase the amounts available to be advanced under the New Credit Facility, the $150.0 million three-year term loan, and the $100.0 million four-year term loan by an aggregate of $200.0 million, subject to customary conditions and limitations, by obtaining additional commitments from the current lenders and other financial institutions. The Company also has the option to extend the maturity dates of each of the New Credit Facility, the $150.0 million three-year term loan and the $100.0 million four-year term loan by one year, subject to payment of an extension fee and other customary conditions and limitations. The $150.0 million three-year term and the $100.0 million four-year term loans can be prepaid by the Company at any time without penalty. The $200.0 million seven-year term loan is subject to a declining prepayment penalty (3.00% commencing one year after closing, 2.00% after two years, 1.00% after three years and without penalty thereafter).
The spread to LIBOR for LIBOR-based loans under the New Credit Facility and New Term Loans will depend on the Company's unsecured senior debt credit rating. Based on the Company's current credit rating, the spread for such loans will be 150, 175, 175 and 190 basis points under the New Credit Facility, the $150.0 million three-year term loan, the $100.0 million four-year term loan and the $200.0 million seven-year term loan, respectively. At the Company's option, advances under the New Credit Facility and New Term Loans may also bear interest at a per annum floating rate equal to the higher of the prime rate or the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum. The New Credit Facility contains a competitive bid option that allows banks that are part of the lender consortium to bid to make loans to the Company at a reduced rate. The Company executed hedging transactions that fix the rate on the $200.0 million seven-year term loan at a 3.623% average rate for its full term, and the rate on the $150.0 million three-year term loan at a 2.596% average rate for periods of three to four years. All hedges commenced on February 1, 2012 and the rates are inclusive of the LIBOR spread based on our current investment grade rating. See Note 9 for details of the interest rate swaps entered into as of December 31, 2012.
The New Credit Facility and New Term Loans contain financial and operating covenants and restrictions. The Company was in compliance with all such restrictions and financial covenants as of December 31, 2012.
On December 18, 2012, the Company closed a registered offering of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.95% Guaranteed Notes due 2023. The notes were priced at 99.273% of their face amount with a yield to maturity of 4.037%, representing a spread at the time of pricing of 2.35%. The notes have been reflected net of discount of $1.8 million in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from this offering, which amounted to $246.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, to fund its repurchase, through a tender offer, of the Company's 7.50% Guaranteed Notes due May 15, 2015 and 6.00% Guaranteed Notes due April 1, 2016.
On December 27, 2012, in connection with the aforementioned offering, the Company funded tender offers for $50.3 million of its 7.50% Guaranteed Notes due 2015, and $99.6 million of its 6.00% Guaranteed Notes due 2016. The Company funded the total tender offer consideration of $171.5 million from net proceeds of the registered offering, as well as available cash balances, with the Company recognizing a $20.4 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the total repurchase.
On December 31, 2012, the Company repaid the entire $150.0 million remaining fixed portion of its four-year term loan due February 1, 2016. In connection with this repayment, the Company also incurred a $3.0 million charge on the termination of associated interest rate swap contracts, as reflected in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Please refer to Footnote 9 for further information related to the termination of the interest rate swap contracts.
