Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The disclosure required by this item is included in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On March 3, 2020, Hines Global REIT Properties, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a majority-owned subsidiary of Hines Global REIT, Inc. (“Hines Global” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), entered into a second amendment (the “Amendment”), to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) among the Operating Partnership and the lenders and guarantors party thereto, including, but not limited to, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (“Chase”), as Administrative Agent, J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, as Administrative Agent for Foreign Currencies, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, U.S. Bank National Association, Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch and Regions Bank, as Co-Documentation Agents, providing for borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars, British pounds sterling, or Euros.

The primary purpose of the Amendment was to (i) reduce the revolving loan borrowing capacity from $500 million to $200 million and (ii) to exercise the Company’s first six-month extension of the maturity date from March 4, 2020 to September 4, 2020.

As amended by the Amendment, the Credit Agreement provides for borrowings up to $200.0 million under a senior, unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Loan Commitment”). The borrowings under the Revolving Loan Commitment may be denominated in U.S. dollars, British pounds sterling, or Euros with aggregate foreign currency commitments constituting up to $100.0 million of the maximum amount available under the Revolving Loan Commitment. The Revolving Loan Commitment has a maturity date of September 4, 2020. The Company may elect to extend the maturity by two additional six-month extensions, subject to certain conditions. As of March 9, 2020, the Company had no outstanding commitments under the Revolving Loan Commitment. Additionally, Hines Global has two mortgages outstanding related to its remaining properties. These mortgages are expected to be repaid upon the sale of the properties in the coming months.

The description above is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference, as amended by the first amendment to the Credit Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference, and as amended by the second amendment to the Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this report and is incorporated herein.

10.3
 

Statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including intentions, beliefs, expectations or projections relating to the availability of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” or similar words or phrases intended to identify information that is not historical in nature. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, unanticipated difficulties or expenditures and the Company’s inability to meet the terms and conditions for borrowing under the Credit Agreement or extending its term. For a further list and description of such risks and uncertainties, see the reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this report. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or developments, future events or otherwise.
