ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 1, 2012, Simon Property Group, L.P. (the Company) entered into a new $2.0 Billion Unsecured Multi-Currency Revolving Credit Facility, or $2.0 billion credit facility, as summarized in the attached press release, which will complement the existing $4.0 Billion Revolving Credit Facility, or the existing facility. The $2.0 billion credit facility can be increased to $2.5 billion during its term and will mature on June 30, 2016, with an available one-year extension at the Companys sole discretion. Like the existing facility, the interest rate on the $2.0 billion credit facility is LIBOR plus 100 basis points and an additional facility fee of 15 basis points. The $2.0 billion credit facility contains a money market competitive bid option program that allows the Company to hold auctions to achieve lower pricing for short-term borrowings.
The $2.0 billion credit facility provides for borrowings for general corporate purposes.
The $2.0 billion credit facility contains ongoing covenants relating to a capitalization value, minimum EBITDA and unencumbered EBITDA coverage ratio requirements and minimum combined equity value which are identical to the existing facility. Payment can be accelerated if the Company or Simon Property Group, Inc. is subject to bankruptcy proceedings or upon the occurrence of certain other events.
A copy of a press release and the $2.0 billion credit facility agreement are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference and constitute part of this report.
