The weighted average interest rate on our outstanding mortgage indebtedness, including the impact of premium/discount amortization and loan cost amortization on mortgage indebtedness, as of September 30, 2023, was approximately 3.7% per annum. The debt bears interest at stated rates ranging from 2.4% to 5.1% per annum and matures on various dates ranging from 2025 to 2041. The debt encumbered a total of 120 and 114 of our Properties as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and the gross carrying value of such Properties was approximately $3,167.2 million and $2,868.3 million, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, we closed on a secured financing transaction generating gross proceeds of $89.0 million. The loan represents an incremental borrowing from an existing secured facility, has a fixed interest rate of 5.04% per annum and matures in ten years.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, we closed on three secured financing transactions generating gross proceeds of $375.0 million. The loans are secured by 20 MH and RV properties, have a weighted average fixed interest rate of 5.05% per annum and a weighted average maturity of approximately eight years.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, proceeds from the four secured financing transactions were used to repay $100.4 million of principal on three mortgage loans that were due to mature in 2023 and 2024 and the remaining outstanding balance on our unsecured line of credit (the “LOC”). The repaid mortgage loans had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.94% per annum and were secured by 14 MH and RV properties.

Unsecured Debt

We previously entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which we have access to a $500.0 million LOC and a $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan (the “$300 million Term Loan”). On March 1, 2023, we amended the Credit Agreement to transition the LIBOR rate borrowings to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) borrowings. The LOC bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus 1.25% to 1.65% and requires an annual facility fee of 0.20% to 0.35%. The $300 million Term Loan has an interest rate of SOFR plus 1.40% to 1.95% per annum. For both the LOC and the $300 million Term Loan, the spread over SOFR is variable based on leverage throughout the respective loan terms. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has no remaining LIBOR based borrowings.

The LOC had no outstanding balance and $198.0 million outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, our LOC had a remaining borrowing capacity of $500.0 million.

As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance in all material respects with the covenants in all our borrowing arrangements.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we entered into a $200.0 million senior unsecured term loan agreement (the “$200 million Term Loan”). The maturity date is January 21, 2027, with an interest rate of SOFR plus approximately 1.30% to 1.80%, depending on leverage levels.
