Increase in Borrowing Base Availability under KeyBank Credit Facility

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 4, 2012, Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT, Inc. (the “Company”), through its operating partnership, Carter/Validus Operating Partnership, LP (“CVOP”), entered into a credit facility (as amended from time to time, the “KeyBank Credit Facility Agreement”) with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”) and the other lenders party thereto, to obtain a secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate maximum principal amount of $225,000,000 (the “KeyBank Credit Facility”), consisting of a $170,000,000 revolving credit loan, with a maturity date of August 9, 2016, subject to CVOP’s right to a 12-month extension, and a $55,000,000 term loan, with a maturity date of August 9, 2017, subject to CVOP’s right to a 12-month extension.

On November 27, 2013, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of a 113,136 rentable square foot medical facility located in San Antonio, Texas (the “Warm Springs Rehabilitation Hospital”), CVOP, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a joinder agreement and an assignment of leases and rents with KeyBank to add the Warm Springs Rehabilitation Hospital to the collateral pool of the KeyBank Credit Facility, which increased CVOP’s borrowing base availability under the KeyBank Credit Facility by approximately $13,528,000. CVOP also pledged a security interest in the Warm Springs Rehabilitation Hospital as collateral to secure the KeyBank Credit Facility pursuant to a deed of trust, dated November 27, 2013.

The actual amount of credit available under the KeyBank Credit Facility is a function of certain loan-to-cost, loan-to-value, debt yield and debt service coverage ratios contained in the KeyBank Credit Facility Agreement. As of November 27, 2013, the total borrowing base availability under the KeyBank Credit Facility was $183,369,000. As of November 27, 2013, the outstanding balance under the KeyBank Credit Facility was $59,000,000 and the Company had approximately $124,369,000 remaining available thereunder.
