ITEM 1.01                                  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On February 15, 2018, Simon Property Group, L.P. (the “Company”) amended and extended its $3.5 billion unsecured multi-currency supplemental revolving credit facility (the “Supplemental Facility”), as summarized in the attached press release.  The Supplemental Facility’s initial borrowing capacity of $3.5 billion may be increased to $4.5 billion during its term. The initial maturity date of the Supplemental Facility was extended to June 30, 2022 from June 30, 2019.  The initial maturity date can be extended for an additional year to June 30, 2023 at our sole option, subject to our continued compliance with the terms thereof. The base interest rate on the Supplemental Facility was reduced to LIBOR plus 77.5 basis points from LIBOR plus 80 basis points, with a facility fee of 10 basis points.  The Supplemental Facility provides for borrowings denominated in U.S. Dollars, Euro, Yen, Sterling, Canadian Dollars and Australian Dollars.  The Supplemental Facility contains a money market competitive bid option program that allows the Company to hold auctions to achieve lower pricing for short-term borrowings.

 

The Supplemental Facility provides for borrowings for general corporate purposes.

 

The Supplemental Facility contains ongoing covenants relating to total and secured leverage to capitalization value and minimum EBITDA and unencumbered EBITDA coverage requirements.  Payment under the Supplemental Facility can be accelerated if the Company or its general partner, Simon Property Group, Inc., is subject to bankruptcy proceedings or upon the occurrence of certain other events.

 

A copy of a press release and the Supplemental Facility agreement are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference and constitute part of this report.
