Revolving Credit Facilities

The Company maintains an unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions, arranged by J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”). The Unsecured Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up to $750 million, if certain financial covenants are maintained, and an accordion feature for expansion of availability up to $1.25 billion upon the Company’s request, provided that new or existing lenders agree to the existing terms of the facility and increase their commitment level and the ability to extend the maturity for one year to April 2018, at the Company’s option. The Unsecured Credit Facility includes a competitive bid option on periodic interest rates for up to 50% of the facility. The Unsecured Credit Facility also provides for an annual facility fee, which was 20 basis points on the entire facility at June 30, 2014. The Unsecured Credit Facility also allows for foreign currency-denominated borrowings. At June 30, 2014, the Company had US$4.1 million of Euro-denominated borrowings and US$24.5 million of Canadian dollar-denominated borrowings outstanding (Note 7). At June 30, 2014, the Company did not have any US$ borrowings outstanding.

The Company also maintains a $65 million unsecured revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association (the “PNC Facility” and, together with the Unsecured Credit Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facilities”). The PNC Facility reflects terms consistent with those contained in the Unsecured Credit Facility.

The Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities bear interest at variable rates at the Company’s election, based on either (i) the prime rate plus a specified spread (0.15% at June 30, 2014), as defined in the respective facility, or (ii) LIBOR, plus a specified spread (1.15% at June 30, 2014). The specified spreads vary depending on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured debt rating from Moody’s Investors Service and Standard and Poor’s. The Company is required to comply with certain covenants under the Revolving Credit Facilities relating to total outstanding indebtedness, secured indebtedness, maintenance of unencumbered real estate assets and fixed charge coverage. The covenants also require that the Company cannot exceed a total dividend payout ratio of 95% of the Company’s pro rata share of Funds From Operations (as defined in the agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facilities) for the prior twelve-month period unless required to maintain Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) status. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2014.
