Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
On April 8, 2014, Sovran Self Storage, Inc. (the “Company”) and Sovran Acquisition Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”, and together with the Company, collectively the “Borrowers”) entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with various purchasers (the “Purchasers”). Under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Partnership sold to the Purchasers $175,000,000 principal amount of 4.533% Senior Guaranteed Notes, Series E, due April 8, 2024 (the “Series E Notes”). The Series E Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.533% based upon the Company’s credit rating on date of closing, which interest is payable in April and October of each year until maturity. The entire principal amount of the Series E Notes is due and payable on April 8, 2024. The Note Purchase Agreement requires the Company and the Partnership to comply with certain financial ratios and other covenants that are set forth therein.
The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, cross defaults with certain other indebtedness, breaches of covenants and bankruptcy events. In the case of an event of default, the Purchasers may, among other remedies, accelerate the payment of all obligations.
The proceeds from the issuance of the Series E Notes are being used by the Borrowers to repay $115 million outstanding on the Borrowers’ line of credit and to fund acquisitions.
The above summary of the Note Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Note Purchase Agreement. A copy of the Note Purchase Agreement is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
