Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc.
Announces Extension of its
$30 Million Secured Revolving Credit Facility
Greenwich, Connecticut, May 16, 2011. Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. (“UBP”) (NYSE: UBA and UBP) announced today it has entered into an amendment of its existing $30 million Secured Revolving Credit Facility with The Bank of New York Mellon (“the Facility”) to extend the maturity date of the Facility to May 16, 2014. Originally scheduled to expire April 15, 2011, the Company previously had reached agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon to continue the Facility to May 16, 2011 while documentation for the three-year extension was completed. Under the terms of the extension agreement the interest rate on borrowings increased to Libor plus 2.0% from Libor plus 1.75% and the un-used fee increased to 0.40% from 0.25%. Substantially all of the remaining terms and conditions of the Facility remain unchanged. Borrowings can be used for, among other things, acquisitions and development of commercial real estate investments, working capital and tenant improvements. The Facility is secured by mortgages on the Company’s Danbury Square property in Danbury, Connecticut and the Company’s Valley Ridge property in Wayne, New Jersey and contains certain representations, financial and other covenants typical for this type of facility.
Commenting on the transaction, Willing Biddle, UBP’s President and Chief Operating Officer said, “We are pleased to announce the three year extension of our $30 million secured revolving credit facility. This Facility coupled with our $50 million unsecured credit facility with The Bank of New York Mellon and Wells Fargo, N.A. continues to give the Company adequate cash resources and liquidity to achieve its acquisition objectives for the foreseeable future. We are also proud to continue our over twenty year banking relationship with The Bank of New York Mellon. ”
