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

CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), the majority-owned subsidiary of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (the “Company”), is party to a $1.185 billion senior secured credit facility (the “Facility”), which includes a fully-funded $500 million term loan and a revolving line of credit with a borrowing capacity of $685 million, with a syndicate of banks pursuant to a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). A copy of the Credit Agreement is filed as Exhibit 4.14.4 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated January 30, 2019. The material terms of the Facility are also described in Note 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

On March 19, 2020 and March 20, 2020, the Operating Partnership completed draws under the line of credit totaling $280 million to increase liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in light of the current uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19. The $280 million of draws represents substantially all of the remaining available balance on the line of credit. Following these draws, the outstanding balance under the line of credit is $680.8 million, including outstanding letters of credit of $4.8 million.

ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On March 25, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing the borrowings under the Facility and the withdrawal of its fiscal 2020 guidance provided on February 6, 2020, due to increased uncertainty surrounding the impact of COVID-19.
