Kimco Realty Corp. entered into a $220 million unsecured term loan with a consortium of 12 banks, including the Bank of Nova Scotia, Royal Bank of Canada, PNC Bank, Bank of America, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank NA, among others. The loan features a two-year term and will expire in April 2011. It comes with an interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 465 basis points, subject to a 2.0 percent LIBOR floor. The company also has the option of paying interest at a spread to the ABR (currently at 3.65 percent).
Kimco recently repaid $130 million of its unsecured medium term notes, at an interest rate of 6.88 percent, through its U.S. unsecured revolving credit facility. Proceeds from the new loan will be used to repay certain outstanding amounts under the credit facility, which was entered into in October 2007. After these payments are made, Kimco will have approximately $1.6 billion in available borrowing capacity under its credit facilities, with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 42.5 basis points and an expiration date of 2012. At that time, the company will have the option to extend the facilities.
Each of the banks involved in the transaction provided between $5 million and $40 million. The Bank of Nova Scotia and RBC Capital Markets served as joint lead arrangers and joint book-running managers on the deal.
