Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The information set forth below in Item 1.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) under the captions “Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement” is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.
Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership.
As previously disclosed, on October 30, 2025 (the “Petition Date”), OPI and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Debtors”) commenced voluntary cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 Cases are being filed to implement a court-supervised financial restructuring pursuant to the terms described in that certain Restructuring Support Agreement entered into on October 30, 2025 among the Debtors and the other parties thereto (the “RSA”). The Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases are jointly administered under the caption “In re Office Properties Income Trust, et al.” The Debtors continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.
Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement
On November 5, 2025, the Court entered the Interim Order Pursuant to Sections 105, 361, 362, 363, and 364 of the Bankruptcy Code and Rules 2002, 4001, 6004, and 9014 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (I) Authorizing the Debtors to Use Cash Collateral and Obtain Secured Postpetition Financing; (II) Granting Liens and Superpriority Administrative Claims; (III) Providing Adequate Protection; (IV) Scheduling a Final Hearing; and (V) Granting Related Relief (the “Interim Order”) allowing OPI to enter into a secured debtor-in-possession term loan credit agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”) with lenders party thereto from time to time (the “DIP Lenders”) and Acquiom Agency Services LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent. The DIP Credit Agreement provides for a multiple draw secured debtor-in-possession term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $125.0 million (the “DIP Facility” and the loans under the DIP Facility, the “DIP Loans”). The DIP Facility is backstopped by certain holders (collectively, the “September 2029 Ad Hoc Group SteerCo”) of OPI’s 9.000% Senior Secured Notes due September 2029 (the “September 2029 Notes”) issued pursuant to that certain indenture, dated as of June 20, 2024 (the “June Issuance”), by and among OPI, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, and will be syndicated and made available, based on pro rata holdings, to certain other holders of the June Issuance. Proceeds of the DIP Facility will be used to fund the Debtors’ working capital and general corporate needs, transaction costs and professional fees, and other costs and expenses of administering the Chapter 11 Cases, in each case, in accordance with an approved budget and the DIP Credit Agreement. An initial borrowing of $10.0 million was made available following entry of the Interim Order and our entry into the DIP Credit Agreement on November 6, 2025, with the remaining commitments to be made available following entry of a final order approving the DIP Facility, in each case subject to customary conditions precedent, milestones and variances, as set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement.
The DIP Facility matures on the earliest to occur of: (a) the date that is 185 days after the Petition Date, as such date may be extended by the September 2029 Ad Hoc Group SteerCo; (b) the effective date of a chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) for each of the Debtors on the terms set forth in the RSA; (c) the consummation of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Debtors pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; and (d) the date of acceleration or termination of the DIP Facility following the occurrence of an event of default thereunder.
The DIP Loans will bear interest, payable in cash, at a rate of 12.00% per annum.
Fees and expenses under the DIP Facility include: (a) an upfront fee equal to 2.25% of the lenders’ commitments under the DIP Facility, which fee was earned upon the initial funding of the DIP Facility and is payable in kind, at the Debtors’ election, in cash or common equity of the reorganized Debtors on the effective date of the Plan (at a 37% discount to Plan equity value and subject to dilution on account of any management incentive plan); (b) an anchor capital commitment fee of 10.00% of the lenders’ commitments under the DIP Facility, which was earned upon the initial funding of the DIP Facility, and may be paid to the September 2029 Ad Hoc Group SteerCo, at the Debtor's election, in cash or common equity of the reorganized Debtors (at Plan equity value and subject to dilution on account of any management incentive plan); and (c) an exit fee of 5.75% of the DIP Loans, which is due and payable to the DIP Lenders upon the repayment of the DIP Loans, at the Debtors’ election, in cash or common equity of the reorganized Debtors (at Plan equity value and subject to dilution on account of any management incentive plan).
The DIP Facility contains customary conditions precedent, representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, milestones for the Chapter 11 Cases, events of default, and other terms and conditions customary for financings of this type. The DIP Facility obligations are entitled to superpriority administrative expense claims and secured by first-priority liens on certain of the Debtors’ unencumbered assets and junior-priority liens on certain of the Debtors’ encumbered assets, subject to the terms of the Interim Order and the final order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the DIP Facility.
The foregoing description of the DIP Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of DIP Credit Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
