Weingarten Realty Investors Closes $500 Million Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
BusinessWire - Thu Mar 31, 8:46AM CDT
Weingarten Realty Investors (NYSE:WRI) announced today that it has amended and extended its $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The facility will mature in March 2020, with a provision to extend the maturity date for two consecutive six-month periods, at the Company's option. Borrowing rates under the facility are at a margin over LIBOR, plus a facility fee. The borrowing margin improved under the new agreement to LIBOR plus 90 basis points, a decrease of 15 basis points. Both the borrowing margin and facility fee are priced off a grid that is tied to Weingarten's senior unsecured credit ratings. The covenants on the facility have been updated, including lowering the capitalization rate, which increases the valuation of the properties, and therefore provides the Company even greater flexibility in executing its business plan. The facility also contains a competitive bid option that will allow the Company to request bids for up to $250 million, along with an accordion feature, which allows the Company to increase the facility amount up to $850 million. Weingarten intends to use the proceeds from such facility to fund acquisition and new development activities, and for general corporate purposes.
