Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On July 21, 2014, Agree Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), the majority-owned operating partnership of Agree Realty Corporation (the “Company”), entered into a $250 million senior unsecured Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (the “Agreement”) covering three senior unsecured credit facilities:
| · | A $150 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) due July 21, 2018 with an additional one-year extension at the Company’s option, subject to customary conditions. Borrowings under the Revolver will be priced at LIBOR plus 135 to 200 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, with an initial applicable margin of 135 basis points. The Revolver replaces the Company’s existing $85.0 million revolving credit facility and may be increased to an aggregate of $250 million at the Company’s election, subject to certain terms and conditions. |
| · | A $65 million seven-year unsecured term loan facility (the “New Term Loan”) due July 21, 2021. Borrowings under the New Term Loan will be priced at LIBOR plus 165 to 225 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, with an initial applicable margin of 165 basis points. The Company has entered into interest rate swaps to fix LIBOR at 2.09% until maturity, implying an all-in interest rate of 3.74% at closing. Proceeds from the New Term Loan were used to repay borrowings under the Company’s existing revolving credit facility. The New Term Loan may be increased to an aggregate of $75 million at the Company’s election, subject to certain terms and conditions. |
| · | Additionally, conforming changes were made to certain terms and conditions of the Company’s existing $35 million term loan facility (the “Existing Term Loan”) as part of the Agreement. The maturity date remains September 29, 2020 and pricing remains LIBOR plus 165 to 225 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, with a current applicable margin of 135 basis points and current all-in rate of 3.85% taking into account the effect of an interest rate swap agreement previously entered into by the Company. The Existing Term Loan may be increased to an aggregate of $70 million at the Company’s election, subject to certain terms and conditions. |
The Agreement contains customary covenants, including financial covenants regarding debt levels, total liabilities, tangible net worth, fixed charge coverage, unencumbered properties, permitted investments, etc. The Company was in compliance with all covenant terms at closing.
