Physicians Realty Trust, a self-managed healthcare real estate company, has amended and upsized its unsecured revolving credit facility from $400 million to $750 million. The amended credit facility also provides an accordion feature allowing for an additional $350 million of capacity, subject to customary terms and conditions, resulting in a maximum borrowing capacity of $1.1 billion.

The Amended Credit Facility was arranged by KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Regions Capital Markets, and BMO Capital Markets as the Co-Book Runners. KeyBank National Association is the Administrative Agent. Regions Capital Markets and BMO Capital Markets were the Co-Syndication Agents. Other lenders included; Bank of America, N.A., Royal Bank of Canada, RBS Citizens, N.A., Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., Raymond James Bank N.A., PNC Bank, N.A., Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., Branch Banking & Trust Company, Comerica Bank, Synovus Bank, Associated Bank, N.A., and The Huntington National Bank.

The Amended Credit Facility has a maturity date of September 18, 2019 and includes a one year extension option. Borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.50% - 2.20%. In addition, the Amended Credit Facility includes an unused fee equal to 0.15% or 0.25% per annum, which is determined by usage under such facility. In the event that the Company achieves at least one investment grade rating from either S&P or Moody's, the Company will be able to borrow at reduced rates.

“We believe the increased size of our Amended Credit Facility will enable us to maintain maximum flexibility as we continue to execute on our disciplined acquisition strategy” stated Jeff Theiler, CFO of Physicians Realty Trust. “We greatly appreciate the trust placed in us by our banking partners, which is a testament to the strong relationships we have built with them as well as our track record of success over the past two years.”
