The weighted average interest rate on our consolidated debt, excluding the impact of our interest rate hedging activities, as of December 31, 2021 was approximately 3.02%. We are subject to certain restrictive covenants relating to the outstanding debt. As of December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

The initial aggregate amount of the Credit Facility was $500 million, which consisted of a $250 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility Revolver”) and a $250 million term loan (the “Credit Facility Term Loan”). The Borrower had the right to increase the amount available under the Credit Facility by an additional $350 million (the “Accordion Feature”), for an aggregate amount of $850 million, subject to certain conditions. The Credit Facility also includes sublimits of (a) up to $25 million for letters of credit and (b) up to $25 million for swingline loans; each of these sublimits are part of, and not in addition to, the amounts available under the Credit Facility Revolver. Borrowings under the Credit Facility may be in either U.S. dollars (each, a “US Borrowing”) or Canadian dollars (each, a “CAD Borrowing”). Upon the closing of the Credit Facility, the Borrower immediately made the following drawdowns: (i) under the Credit Facility Revolver (A) $199 million in USD Borrowings and (B) CAD $2.5 million in CAD Borrowings (approximately $2 million equivalent in U.S. dollars), and (ii) under the Credit Facility Term Loan (A) $150 million in USD Borrowings and (B) CAD $124.7 million in CAD Borrowings (approximately $100 million equivalent in U.S. dollars), for an aggregate amount of approximately $451 million. We used the initial proceeds primarily to pay off certain existing indebtedness as well as indebtedness of SST IV in connection with the SST IV Merger.

The Credit Facility is initially secured by a pledge of equity interests in the Subsidiary Guarantors. However, upon the achievement of certain security interest termination conditions, the pledges shall be released and the Credit Facility shall become unsecured (the “Security Interest Termination Event”). The Security Interest Termination Event occurs at the Borrower’s election, once the Borrower satisfies the following security interest termination conditions: (i) a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.50:1.00; (ii) an unsecured interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.00:1.00; (iii) a consolidated capitalization rate leverage ratio of not greater than 60%; and (iv) a secured debt ratio of no greater than 40%. Following the occurrence of the Security Interest Termination Event, certain terms and conditions of the Credit Facility are modified, including, but not limited to: (i) in certain circumstances, a reduction in the applicable interest rate under the Credit Facility, (ii) the modification or addition of certain financial covenants, (iii) the addition of a floor of at least $25 million for any cross-defaulted recourse debt of ours, our Operating Partnership, or any Subsidiary Guarantor, and (iv) in certain circumstances, a reduction in the annual unused fee for the Credit Facility Revolver.

The Credit Facility contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, borrowing conditions, and events of default. In particular, the financial covenants imposed include: a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum tangible net worth, certain limits on both secured debt and secured recourse debt, certain payout ratios of dividends paid to core funds from operations, limits on unhedged variable rate debt, and minimum liquidity. If an event of default occurs and continues, the Borrower is subject to certain actions by the administrative agent, including, without limitation, the acceleration of repayment of all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.

On May 3, 2021, we converted all of our CAD Borrowings to USD Borrowings.

On October 7, 2021, the Borrower and lenders who were party to the Credit Facility amended the Credit Facility to increase the commitment on the Credit Facility Revolver by $200 million for a total commitment of $450 million. In connection with the increased commitments, additional lenders were added to the Credit Facility. The commitments on the Credit Facility Term Loan remain unchanged. As a result of this amendment, the aggregate commitment on the Credit Facility is now $700 million. In addition, the Accordion Feature was also amended such that Borrower has the right to increase the aggregate amount of the Credit Facility by an additional $350 million, for an aggregate amount of up to $1.05 billion, subject to certain conditions.

As of December 31, 2021, the Borrower has borrowed approximately $233 million of the $450 million current capacity of the Credit Facility Revolver and all $250 million of the $250 million current capacity of the Credit Facility Term Loan.

The amounts outstanding under the SST IV CMBS Loan bear interest at an annual fixed rate equal to 3.56%. Commencing two years after securitization, the CMBS Loan may be defeased in whole, but not in part, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the SST IV CMBS Loan Agreement.

The interest rate on the SST IV TCF Loan is equal to the greater of (i) 3.75% per annum or (ii) an adjustable annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.00%. Upon achievement of certain financial conditions, the interest rate will be equal to the greater of (i) 3.50% per annum or (ii) an adjustable annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.50%. As of December 31, 2021, the interest rate on the SST IV TCF Loan was 3.75%. In connection with the SST IV Merger, we also assumed an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $30.5 million, such that in no event will LIBOR exceed 0.75% thereon through May 2022.

The SST IV TCF loan agreement also contains a debt service coverage ratio covenant applicable to the borrowers whereby, commencing on March 31, 2022, the SST IV TCF Properties must have a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00. The SST IV TCF loan agreement also contains: customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants; agreements; representations; warranties and borrowing conditions; and events of default all as set forth in such loan agreement.

We serve as a limited recourse guarantor with respect to the SST IV TCF Loan during the initial term. Our obligations as guarantor may decrease based on the debt service coverage ratio on the SST IV TCF Properties.
