Significant financing activity during 2024 includes:

On January 8, 2024, the Company priced a public offering of $400 million of senior unsecured notes due in 2034, and the notes were issued on January 18, 2024 at 99.617% of par value with a coupon of 5.250%.

On January 18, 2024, the Company entered into a Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), with the financial institutions party thereto, as lenders, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent. The Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility in the amount of $1.50 billion for a term of four years (plus two six-month extension options) and includes an accordion feature which permits the borrower to request increases in the size of the revolving loan facility by up to an additional $1.50 billion. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility is equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin that is determined based on the borrower’s long-term unsecured debt ratings and ratio of indebtedness to total asset value. At the time of the closing, the effective interest rate was SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points plus a margin of 72.5 basis points. The Credit Agreement also incorporates sustainability-linked adjustments to the interest rate, which provide for upward or downward adjustments to the applicable margin if the Company achieves, or fails to achieve, certain specified targets based on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission standards as set forth in the Credit Agreement. At the time of the closing, a 1 basis point downward sustainability-linked adjustment to the interest rate was applicable. The Credit Agreement was further amended on July 8, 2024 to update the baseline metric used to calculate sustainability-linked performance targets.

On June 17, 2024, the Company paid off $250 million of unsecured public debt that had matured, utilizing a portion of the proceeds from the January 2024 public debt offering, and the Company paid off a $78.3 million fixed rate mortgage loan.
