Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On November 10, 2016, Agree Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), the majority-owned operating partnership of Agree Realty Corporation (the “Company”), announced it has entered into an agreement in principle to amend and restate its senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Agreement”). The amended and restated credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) will be increased to $350 million and is comprised of a $250 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) and extensions of the Company’s existing $65 million and $35 million unsecured term loans (together, the “Unsecured Term Loans”). The Revolving Facility will mature in January 2021 with options to extend the maturity date to January 2022, and the Unsecured Term Loans will mature in January 2024. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility will be priced at LIBOR plus 130 to 195 basis points, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, with an initial applicable margin of 130 basis points. The interest rate on the Unsecured Term Loans is based on a pricing grid with a range of 165 to 235 basis points over LIBOR, determined by the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company will utilize existing interest rate swaps to fix LIBOR on the Unsecured Term Loans at approximately 2.13%. At the Company’s current leverage ratio, the interest rate on the Unsecured Term Loans would be approximately 3.78%. The Credit Facility may be increased to an aggregate of $500 million at the Company’s election, subject to certain terms and conditions. The Company expects to close on the Credit Facility on December 15, 2016.

 

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 above summary of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement. The Company will file a copy of the Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2016.
