Indebtedness

Note 8. Indebtedness

Our principal debt obligations at March 31, 2025 were: (1) $50,000 of outstanding borrowings under our $650,000 revolving credit facility; (2) $4,075,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of senior unsecured notes; (3) $1,000,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of senior secured notes; (4) $606,122 aggregate outstanding principal amount of net lease mortgage notes; and (5) $45,000 of outstanding borrowings under our $45,000 variable funding note.

Revolving Credit Facility

Our $650,000 secured revolving credit facility is available for general business purposes, including acquisitions. We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity and no principal repayments are due until maturity. Availability of borrowings under our credit agreement is subject to ongoing minimum performance and market values of the collateral properties, satisfying certain financial covenants and other credit facility conditions. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is June 29, 2027, and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, we have an option to further extend the stated maturity date of the facility by two additional six-month periods.

Interest payable on drawings under our revolving credit facility is based on the secured overnight financing rate, or SOFR, plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 3.00% based on our leverage ratio, as defined in our credit agreement, which was 2.50% as of March 31, 2025. We also pay unused commitment fees of 20 to 30 basis points per annum on the total amount of lending commitments under our revolving credit facility based on amounts outstanding. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 6.91% and 7.84%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 6.94% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. We had no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of both March 31, 2025 and May 2, 2025, we had $50,000 outstanding under our revolving credit facility and $600,000 available for borrowings.

As collateral for all loans and other obligations under our revolving credit facility, certain of our subsidiaries pledged all of their respective equity interests in certain of our direct and indirect property owning subsidiaries, and our pledged subsidiaries provided first mortgage liens on 67 properties, including 64 hotels and three net lease properties, with an aggregate undepreciated book value of $1,691,230 as of March 31, 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we sold two hotels that previously served as collateral under our revolving credit facility. In connection with the sales of these hotels, the hotels were released from the collateral pool in accordance with the terms of our revolving credit facility.

In February 2025, we and our lenders amended the agreement governing our revolving credit facility to reduce the required debt service coverage ratio covenant from 1.50 times to 1.30 times effective with respect to the fourth quarter of 2024 and continuing through the end of the loan term. In order to exercise the first extension option, we are required to maintain a 1.50 times debt service coverage level as of and for the duration of the extension period. We also agreed to change the required collateral property debt yield to 10% effective with respect to the first quarter of 2025 and continuing through the end of the loan term and to swap collateral properties as follows: 47 hotels with an aggregate of 7,981 keys and an aggregate undepreciated book value of $1,375,449 will be released from the collateral pool and 35 travel centers leased to TA, which travel centers we refer to as our TA No. 5 lease, with an aggregate undepreciated book value of $598,908, will be added as collateral to our revolving credit facility. Of the hotels being released from the collateral pool, 36 hotels with an aggregate of 4,862 keys and an aggregate undepreciated book value of $655,514 are part of our hotel disposition plan. The corresponding equity pledges will be swapped as well. We expect to complete this collateral swap by the end of the second quarter of 2025.

Our debt agreements provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts outstanding upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as, in the case of our credit agreement, a change of control of us, which includes The RMR Group LLC, or RMR, ceasing to act as our business manager. Our debt agreements also contain covenants, including those that restrict our ability to incur debts or to make distributions under certain circumstances and generally require us to maintain certain financial ratios. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility are subject to meeting ongoing minimum performance and market values of the collateral properties, satisfying certain financial covenants and other credit facility conditions. We believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of our debt agreements as of March 31, 2025.

Net Lease Mortgage Notes

Our $610,200 in aggregate principal amount of net lease mortgage notes were issued on February 10, 2023 by our wholly owned, special purpose bankruptcy remote, indirect subsidiary, SVC ABS LLC, or the Issuer. The Issuer is a separate legal entity and is the sole owner of its assets and liabilities. The assets of the Issuer are not available to pay or otherwise satisfy obligations to the creditors of any owners or affiliates of the Issuer.

Our net lease mortgage notes are summarized below:

Note Class	Principal Outstanding as of March 31, 2025		Coupon Rate	Initial Term (in years)	Maturity
Class A	$	301,823	5.15%	5	February 2028
Class B	172,099		5.55%	5	February 2028
Class C	132,200		6.70%	5	February 2028
Total / weighted average	$	606,122	5.60%

The Class A notes and the Class B notes require monthly principal repayments at an annualized rate of 0.50% and 0.25% of the balance outstanding, respectively, and the Class C notes require interest payments only, with balloon payments due at maturity. The notes mature in February 2028 and may be redeemed without penalty 24 months prior to the scheduled maturity date beginning in February 2026. The notes are non-recourse and, as of March 31, 2025, were secured by 315 net lease retail properties owned by the Issuer. As of March 31, 2025, the current leases relating to those properties required annual minimum rents of $67,001 and had an aggregate undepreciated book value of $760,165.

On January 27, 2025, the Issuer issued a variable funding note, or the VFN, secured by the 315 net lease properties that secure our existing $606,122 of net lease mortgage notes. The VFN permits borrowings on a revolving basis up to $45,000 and the Issuer can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available until maturity. The maturity date of the VFN is January 27, 2027, and, subject to the payment of an extension fee and meeting certain other conditions, can be extended by one year at the Issuer’s option. The VFN requires interest payments only on drawings under the VFN based on SOFR plus a margin of 1.75%, and an unused commitment fee of 50 basis points per annum paid on undrawn amounts. As of March 31, 2025, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under the VFN was 6.16%. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under the VFN was 6.19% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, $45,000 was outstanding under the VFN.
