On December 27, 2016, Realty Finance Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Operating Partnership”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Realty Finance Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, RFT GS Loan, LLC (the “Seller”), entered into a Master Repurchase Agreement, (the “Goldman Repo Facility”), with Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Purchaser”). The Goldman Repo Facility provides that the Purchaser may, from time to time, purchase certain assets (as described in the Goldman Repo Facility) from Seller having an aggregate maximum purchase price of $250.0 million, with a simultaneous agreement from Seller to repurchase such assets at a date certain or on demand. The Company expects to use the Goldman Repo Facility to finance the acquisition or origination of eligible loans, including first mortgage loans, senior notes and senior participation interests therein.

 

Borrowings under the Goldman Repo Facility accrue interest at per annum rates equal to the sum of (i) a spread over LIBOR of between 2.35% to 2.85%, depending on the attributes of the purchased asset, and (ii) 0.50%. The initial maturity date of the Goldman Repo Facility is December 27, 2018, with a one year extension period at the Company’s option, which may be exercised upon the satisfaction of certain conditions.

 

In connection with the Goldman Repo Facility, the Company entered into a Guaranty, dated as of December 27, 2016 (the “Guaranty”) under which the Company agreed to guarantee certain obligations of the Seller under the Goldman Repo Facility.

 

The Goldman Repo Facility and the Guaranty contain representations, warranties, covenants, conditions precedent to funding, events of default and indemnities that are customary for agreements of this type, and the Goldman Repo Facility contains financial and other covenants applicable to the Seller. In addition, the Guaranty contains financial covenants that require the Company to satisfy certain requirements, including those relating to interest coverage, liquidity and total liabilities.

 

The foregoing description of the Goldman Repo Facility and the Guaranty does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Goldman Repo Facility and the Guaranty, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, and incorporated herein by reference.
