NEWTON, Mass. -- (Business Wire)
Government Properties Income Trust (Nasdaq: GOV) today announced that it
has amended and restated the credit agreement for its existing $750
million unsecured revolving credit facility.
Prior to the amendment, GOV’s revolving credit facility had a maturity
date of January 31, 2019, and required interest on drawings at LIBOR
plus 125 basis points, subject to adjustments based on changes to GOV’s
credit ratings. The maturity date of the amended revolving credit
facility has been extended to January 31, 2023, and includes a
borrower’s option to further extend the facility for two additional
six-month periods in return for payment of a fee and provided certain
conditions are met. Interest on drawings under the amended revolving
credit facility have also been reduced to LIBOR plus 110 basis points,
subject to adjustments based on changes to GOV’s credit ratings. In
addition, the amended credit agreement includes a feature under which,
in certain circumstances, the aggregate revolving credit facility
commitments and borrowings in conjunction with outstanding principal
associated with term loans may be increased to up to $2.5 billion.
The amended revolving credit facility will also remain in place
following GOV’s pending merger with Select Income REIT (Nasdaq: SIR).
Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc.
and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. acted as Joint Lead Arrangers for the
amended credit facility. Banks participating in the amended credit
