On March 1, 2012, MAALP entered into a $150 million unsecured term loan agreement with a syndicate of banks led by KeyBank and J.P. Morgan with a variable rate resetting monthly at LIBOR plus a spread of 1.40% to 2.15% based on a leveraged based pricing grid and a maturity date of March 1, 2017. As of March 31, 2013 the full amount was outstanding under this agreement. In July 2012, MAALP received an investment grade rating (Baa2) from Moody's rating service, which caused the variable rate to reset monthly at LIBOR plus a spread of 1.10% to 2.05% based on an investment grade ratings grid.

On August 31, 2012, MAALP issued $175 million of Senior Unsecured Notes to be funded at three separate times.

MAALP has additional requirements related to $20.2 million of tax-free bonds issued by MAA but held within the FNMA facility. These amounts are not included in our debt discussion above or within our Consolidated Balance Sheets as MAALP is not the legal borrower of the bonds; however, because of MAALP's obligations under the FNMA facility, we could be required to pay related principal, interest, and other costs if MAA were to default on its payments.
