Bethesda, MD, April 13, 2015 -- Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (NYSE: PEB) (the “Company”) today announced that it has successfully executed a new 7-year, $100 million term loan. The term loan matures in April 2022. The interest rate on the unsecured term loan is based on a pricing grid with a range of 170 to 255 basis points over LIBOR, determined by the Company’s leverage ratio. In conjunction with the new unsecured term loan, the Company has fixed LIBOR over the 7-year period. At the Company’s current leverage level, the interest rate on the unsecured term loan will be 3.46 percent. The term loan also includes an accordion option that allows the Company to request additional lender commitments up to a total of $200 million.
“We are pleased with the favorable terms of this fixed-rate loan, as we further extend our debt maturities,” commented Raymond D. Martz, Chief Financial Officer for Pebblebrook Hotel Trust. “The additional capital will be used to support future financing activities such as paying down the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility, capital reinvestments in renovations and repositionings, and potential future acquisition opportunities as they may arise.”
The Company’s $100 million unsecured term loan is jointly led by U.S. Bank and Capital One, N.A. U.S. Bank serves as the Administrative Agent, Capital One, N.A. serves as the Syndication Agent, and Raymond James Bank, N.A. serves as the Managing Agent.
