The company currently has commitments of approximately $700 million from its group of lenders toward the secured credit facility. If completed, the new facility would mature in June 2012 and would bear interest at a rate of LIBOR + 2.5%. Lenders who participate in the new secured loan would receive collateral security for their outstanding unsecured positions in the company's existing unsecured bank lines, according to a release. The new facilities would also provide for "additional operating flexibility through the modification of certain financial covenants," the release states. The new secured facility and the restructuring of the existing facilities are expected to close next month.

As of year's end, iStar had $558.1 million of unrestricted cash and available capacity under $3.7 billion in revolving credit facilities versus $877.7 million at the end of the prior quarter, according to its SEC filing. The company is in compliance with all of its bank and bond covenants, according to a release.
