The Company utilizes borrowings under its unsecured credit facility (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”) for general business purposes, including to fund costs of acquisitions, developments and redevelopments of properties, and to fund share repurchases and repay other debt. The Unsecured Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up to $600.0 million and the per annum variable interest rate on borrowings is SOFR plus 1.40% plus a spread adjustment of 0.10%. The interest rate and facility fee are subject to adjustment upon a change in the Company’s unsecured debt ratings. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the weighted-average interest rate on Unsecured Credit Facility borrowings was 5.83%, resulting in $0.4 million of interest expense for such period.

Unsecured Term Loan

On March 1, 2023, the Company entered into an unsecured one-year term loan agreement in the aggregate principal amount of $70.0 million (the “2023 Term Loan”). The 2023 Term Loan was scheduled to mature on February 28, 2024. In January 2024, the Company executed its option to extend for an additional twelve months to February 28, 2025 upon customary terms and conditions. The 2023 Term Loan bore interest at Daily Simple SOFR plus 1.90% with a 0.10% SOFR adjustment per year and was interest-only (payable monthly) through the maturity date. The Company repaid the loan on its maturity date of February 28, 2025.
