Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 23, 2013, General Growth Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), amended and restated its corporate line of credit with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Royal Bank of Canada and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as Joint Lead Arrangers (the “Agreement”).

 

The Agreement, among other things, increases the uncommitted accordion feature of the revolving credit facility from $250 million to $500 million to allow the Company to increase the total facility to $1.5 billion, reduces the drawn spread over LIBOR by between 0.50% and 0.75% per annum, reduces the fees paid on unused portions of the facility from 0.35% to 0.20% per annum, and releases certain pledged equity interests as collateral.  The facility will mature on October 23, 2018.

 

The drawn pricing of the facility is currently set at LIBOR plus 1.575% and is determined by the Company’s leverage level.

 

The description of the Agreement in this current report is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy of the Agreement that is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report and incorporated by reference herein.
