New York City—SL Green announced it has refinanced, extended and expanded its unsecured corporate credit facility by $217 million to $3 billion.

The five-year funded term loan component of the facility has been increased by $117 million to $1.3 billion, the maturity date has been extended from June 2019 to March 2023, and the current borrowing cost has been reduced to 135 basis points over LIBOR.

The revolving line of credit component has been reduced by $100 million to $1.5 billion, the maturity date has been extended from March 2019 to March 2023, inclusive of as-of-right extension options aggregating one-year, and the current borrowing cost was reduced to 120 basis points over LIBOR.

In addition, a new $200 million, seven-year funded term loan component has been added to the facility, which matures in November 2024 and currently bears interest at 190 basis points over LIBOR.

SL Green CFO Matt DiLiberto noted leading financial institutions have a continued appetite for corporate lending to well-capitalized companies in the New York City real estate market. “This modification will further our unsecured borrowing strategy, extend our maturity profile and simplify our credit facility's overall structure, while lowering our overall borrowing costs,” says DiLiberto.
