ITEM 1.01. | Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On December 22, 2016, Apartment Investment and Management Company, a Maryland corporation (“Aimco”), AIMCO Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Aimco Operating Partnership”), and AIMCO/Bethesda Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AIMCO/Bethesda,” collectively with Aimco and Aimco Operating Partnership, the “Borrowers”) entered into an amendment and restatement of the Borrowers' existing senior secured revolving loan facility (such existing credit facility, the "Existing Credit Amendment" and such existing credit facility, as amended and restated, the “New Credit Facility”), with the the lenders from time to time party thereto, and KeyBank N. A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and letter of credit issuer, Wells Fargo National Association and PNC National Association, as syndication agents, and Citibank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., Regions Bank and U.S. Bank National Association, as co-documentation agents.
The New Credit Facility provides for $600 million of revolving commitments. In addition, the Borrowers have the ability from time to time to increase the aggregate revolving commitments by up to an additional $200 million in the aggregate, subject to the receipt of additional revolving commitments and other customary conditions. The revolving commitments will expire on January 22, 2022. The New Credit Facility was used to refinance the Existing Credit Agreement and may be used for general corporate purposes, including for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development and redevelopment of properties, permitted restricted payments and the refinancing of existing and future indebtedness.
Borrowings (other than swing line loans) made under the New Credit Facility will bear interest, at the Borrowers’ option, at (a) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, which is initially 1.20% or (b) a base rate plus an applicable margin, which is initially 0.20% (base rate is defined as the greatest of (x) KeyBank N. A.’s prime rate and (y) one month LIBOR plus 100 basis points or (z) the Federal Funds rate plus 50 basis points. Swing line loans will bear interest at the base rate plus the applicable margin. The commitments under the New Credit Facility are subject to a facility fee, which will accrue at a percentage that is initially equal to 0.25%.
The applicable margins and the facility fee may increase or decrease upon a change in the credit ratings assigned to a Borrower's long-term senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt. The applicable margin on LIBOR loans ranges from 0.825% to 1.55%, and the applicable margin on base rate loans ranges from 0.0% to 0.55%. The facility fee percentage ranges from 0.125% to 0.30%.
The New Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Borrowers and secured by pledges of equity interests in certain subsidiaries of the Borrowers, as more fully set forth in the New Credit Facility.
The New Credit Facility includes, among other terms and conditions standard for transactions of this type, limitations (subject to specified exclusions) on the ability of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries to incur debt; create liens; make investments, loans and advances; engage in certain mergers and consolidations; make distributions and dividends; and engage in transactions with affiliates. The New Credit Facility also requires the Borrowers to be in compliance at the end of each fiscal quarter with a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, a Leverage Ratio, a Secured Indebtedness Ratio, a minimum level of Adjusted Tangible Net Worth and maximum levels of the Borrowing Group's Share of Aggregate Recourse Indebtedness (other than the obligations under the New Credit Facility, Mezzanine Indebtedness, Cross-Collateralized Debt and Maximum Unsecured Indebtedness (as each such term is defined in the New Credit Facility).
The New Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including nonpayment of principal and other amounts when due; breach of covenants; inaccuracy of representations and warranties; cross-default and cross-acceleration to other material indebtedness of the Borrowers or their subsidiaries; certain bankruptcy or insolvency events; material judgments against the Borrowers or the guarantors of the New Credit Facility; certain ERISA matters; actual or asserted invalidity of any loan document; and a change of control. If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the New Credit Facility, the lenders thereunder may, among other things, terminate their commitments under the New Credit Facility and require the Borrowers to repay all amounts owed thereunder.
The description of the New Credit Facility above does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the New Credit Facility, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
