Government Properties Income Trust Amends $750 Million Credit Facility

NEWTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Government Properties Income Trust (Nasdaq: GOV) today announced that it has amended and restated the credit agreement for its existing $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility.

Prior to the amendment, GOV’s revolving credit facility had a maturity date of January 31, 2019, and required interest on drawings at LIBOR plus 125 basis points, subject to adjustments based on changes to GOV’s credit ratings. The maturity date of the amended revolving credit facility has been extended to January 31, 2023, and includes a borrower’s option to further extend the facility for two additional six-month periods in return for payment of a fee and provided certain conditions are met. Interest on drawings under the amended revolving credit facility have also been reduced to LIBOR plus 110 basis points, subject to adjustments based on changes to GOV’s credit ratings. In addition, the amended credit agreement includes a feature under which, in certain circumstances, the aggregate revolving credit facility commitments and borrowings in conjunction with outstanding principal associated with term loans may be increased to up to $2.5 billion.

The amended revolving credit facility will also remain in place following GOV’s pending merger with Select Income REIT (Nasdaq: SIR).
