Tanger Closes $550 Million of Unsecured Term Loan Facilities
Increases Total Capacity by $225 Million with $150 Million Under Delayed Draws
Extends Debt Maturities, Improves Pricing and Expands Lending Group
Tanger® (NYSE:SKT), a leading owner and operator of outlet and open-air retail shopping destinations, today announced that its operating partnership, Tanger Properties Limited Partnership ("the Company"), has closed on $550 million of unsecured term loans increasing the Company's term loan capacity by $225 million, enhancing liquidity, extending debt duration, lowering pricing, and expanding its bank group. The $550 million of term loan capacity is comprised of a $350 million loan due December 2030 and a $200 million loan due January 2033. The Company drew $400 million at closing and has a combined $150 million under a delayed draw feature, allowing the Company to draw the proceeds over the next six to nine months, further improving flexibility and providing future liquidity.
The Company expects to utilize the initial $75 million of incremental proceeds to reduce borrowings under the Company's $620 million unsecured lines of credit and for working capital purposes.
Unsecured Term Loans:
- The Company amended its current $325 million unsecured term loan, increasing total capacity to $350 million, extending maturity through December 2030, and adding a delayed draw feature totaling $100 million for up to nine months after closing (the "2030 Term Loan"). The applicable pricing margin is SOFR plus 95 basis points based on Tanger's current credit rating, and the current 10-basis point credit adjustment spread was removed.
- The Company entered into an agreement for a new $200 million unsecured term loan, due January 2033, with a delayed draw feature of $50 million for up to six months after closing (the "2033 Term Loan"). The 2033 Term Loan bears interest at an annual rate of SOFR plus 125 basis points based on Tanger's current credit rating.
The Company has interest rate swaps in place that fix SOFR at various rates and durations on the drawn amounts of the term loans, and the Company will continue evaluating opportunities to manage interest rate exposure.
In addition to the term loans, the Company amended its $600 million revolving credit facility and its $20 million liquidity line to remove the 10-bps SOFR credit adjustment spread and made other changes that conform to the 2030 and 2033 Term Loans.
"We appreciate the continued strong support we have received from our lender group," commented Michael Bilerman, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Investment Officer. "This amendment to our existing term loan and the addition of the 2033 Term Loan improves our liquidity, provides additional flexibility, and further strengthens Tanger's balance sheet as part of our commitment to deliver long-term growth for stakeholders."
