Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On January 30, 2014, four subsidiaries of Sun Communities Operating Limited Partnership (“SCOLP”), the primary operating subsidiary of Sun Communities, Inc. (the “Company”), obtained four mortgage loans (each, an “Individual Loan” and, together, the “Loan”) in the aggregate amount of $99.0 million from The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company (“NM”) pursuant to a Master Loan Agreement with NM. Each Individual Loan accrues interest at the rate of 4.20% per year. The borrower under each Individual Loan is required to make monthly principal and interest payments calculated based on a 30-year amortization period. Each Individual Loan matures and all outstanding principal and interest under each Individual Loan will be payable on February 13, 2026. SCOLP and each of the four borrowers have guaranteed the Loan. The Loan is secured by a mortgage and assignment of leases and rents on the four manufactured home/recreational vehicle communities owned by the borrowers. An event of default under any Individual Loan will cause an event of default under the entire Loan and all four mortgaged properties secure the repayment of the entire Loan. The Company used the proceeds of the Loan to repay a portion of the Company’s senior secured line of credit.
The Loan is generally non-recourse, however, the borrowers and SCOLP are jointly and severally responsible for certain customary non-recourse carveouts. In addition, the Loan will be fully recourse to SCOLP if (a) the borrowers violate the prohibition on transfer covenants set forth in the loan documents; or (b) a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding is commenced by the borrowers or an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding that has been commenced against the borrowers remains undismissed for a period of 90 days.
The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Master Loan Agreement and the promissory notes which are filed as Exhibits to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
