Changes in Debt Structure

On April 10, 2019, the Company repaid in full a mortgage note payable bearing interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum with an outstanding principal of $8.9 million. The mortgage note encumbered a 52,813 square foot property in Washington.

On May 31, 2019, the Company amended and restated its $700.0 million unsecured credit facility due 2020 (the "Unsecured Credit Facility") to extend the maturity date from July 2020 to May 2023. Amounts outstanding under the Unsecured Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin, which depends on the Company's credit ratings, ranging from 0.775% to 1.45% (currently 0.90%). In addition, the Company pays a facility fee per annum on the aggregate amount of commitments ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% (currently 0.20%). In connection with the amendment, the Company paid up front fees to the lenders and other costs of approximately $3.5 million, which will be amortized over the term of the Unsecured Credit Facility.

Also, on May 31, 2019, the Company amended and restated its term loan agreement (the "Term Loan") with a syndicate of lenders. The amended agreement extended the maturity date of the Company's unsecured term loan due 2022 to May 2024 (the "Term Loan due 2024") and increased the loan amount from $150.0 million to $200.0 million. In addition, the amended agreement added a $150.0 million seven-year term loan facility (the "Term Loan due 2026"). The Term Loan due 2024 bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.85% to 1.65% (1.00% at June 30, 2019) based upon the Company's unsecured debt ratings. The Term Loan due 2026 has a delayed draw feature that allows the Company up to nine months to draw against the commitments. As of June 30, 2019, no loans were outstanding under the Term Loan due 2026. Loans outstanding under the Term Loan due 2026 will bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.45% to 2.40% (1.60% at June 30, 2019). Committed amounts that remain undrawn are subject to a ticking fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% per annum (0.20% at June 30, 2019). In connection with the amendment, the Company paid up front fees to the lenders of approximately $1.8 million, of which $1.0 million will be amortized over the respective term of the term loans and $0.8 million were expensed during the second quarter of 2019.
