The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk on a portion of its variable-rate debt. Throughout the terms of these interest rate swaps, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest and receives a floating rate of interest equal to the annual Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for a one-month term (“one-month SOFR”) with nine out of the eleven swaps also including an additional 0.10% SOFR spread adjustment. The swaps are designed to effectively fix the interest payments on variable-rate debt instruments. See Note 5 for more information on the interest rate swap agreements. The Company’s total fixed-rate and variable-rate debt, after giving effect to its interest rate swaps in effect at December 31, 2025 and 2024, is set forth below. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

Credit Facilities

$1.2 Billion Credit Facility

On July 25, 2022, the Company entered into a credit facility (the “$1.2 billion credit facility”) that is comprised of (i) a $650 million revolving credit facility with an initial maturity date of July 25, 2026 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), (ii) a $275 million term loan with a maturity date of July 25, 2027, funded at closing, and (iii) a $300 million term loan with a maturity date of January 31, 2028 (including a $150 million delayed draw option until 180 days from closing), of which $200 million was funded at closing, $50 million was funded on October 24, 2022 and the remaining $50 million was funded on January 17, 2023 (the term loans described in clauses (ii) and (iii) are referred to together as the $575 million term loan facility”).

Subject to certain conditions, including covenant compliance and payment of additional fees, the Revolving Credit Facility maturity date may be extended up to one year. The credit agreement for the $1.2 billion credit facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants (as described below), restrictions on certain investments and events of default. The Company may make voluntary prepayments, in whole or in part, at any time. Interest on the $1.2 billion credit facility, subject to certain exceptions, is generally payable monthly, with interest rates that have historically been equal to the one-month SOFR plus a 0.10% SOFR spread adjustment plus a margin ranging from 1.35% to 2.25%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as calculated under the terms of the credit agreement. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had availability of $586.9 million under its Revolving Credit Facility after taking a $2.1 million letter of credit into account. The Company is also required to pay quarterly an unused facility fee at an annual rate of 0.20% or 0.25% on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, based on the amount of borrowings outstanding during the quarter.

$225 Million Term Loan Facility

Prior to the Company’s full repayment in July 2025 (as discussed below under “$385 Million Term Loan Facility”), the Company utilized an unsecured $225 million term loan facility that was comprised of (i) a $50 million term loan with a maturity date of August 2, 2025 and (ii) a $175 million term loan with a maturity date of August 2, 2025 (the term loans described in clauses (i) and (ii) are referred to together as the “$225 million term loan facility”). The Company was permitted to make voluntary prepayments, in whole or in part, at any time, subject to certain conditions. Interest payments on the $225 million term loan facility were due monthly and the interest rate, subject to certain exceptions, was equal to an annual rate of the one-month SOFR plus a 0.10% SOFR spread adjustment plus a margin ranging from 1.35% to 2.50%, based upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as calculated under the terms of the credit agreement.

$385 Million Term Loan Facility

On July 24, 2025, the Company entered into a new term loan facility with a principal amount of $385 million and a maturity date of July 31, 2030 (the “$385 million term loan facility”). At closing, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under the $225 million term loan facility with proceeds from the $385 million term loan facility, resulting in an additional $160 million funded at closing, which was used to repay the balance outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. The outstanding principal under the $385 million term loan facility bears interest at an annual variable rate equal to a term SOFR, depending on the interest period options elected by the Company, plus a margin ranging from 1.35% to 2.20%, based on the Company’s leverage ratio as calculated under the terms of the credit agreement. Historically, the Company has elected to pay interest monthly at an annual rate equal to the one-month SOFR plus the applicable margin. The credit agreement for the $385 million term loan facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, restrictions on certain investments and customary events of default, which are the same terms as those under the previous credit agreement for the $225 million term loan facility. The Company may make voluntary prepayments, in whole or in part, at any time, subject to certain conditions.

$130 Million Term Loan Facility

On July 25, 2017, the Company entered into an unsecured $85 million term loan facility with an initial maturity date of July 25, 2024, consisting of one term loan (the “2017 $85 million term loan facility”) that was funded at closing. Interest payments on the 2017 $85 million term loan facility were due monthly, and the interest rate, subject to certain exceptions, was equal to an annual rate of the one-month SOFR plus a 0.10% SOFR spread adjustment plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 2.10%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as calculated under the terms of the credit agreement. On July 17, 2024, the Company amended the 2017 $85 million term loan facility, which increased the amount of the term loan facility to $130 million, with the additional $45 million funded at closing (the "$130 million term loan facility"), and extended the maturity date to July 25, 2026. Interest on the $130 million term loan facility, subject to certain exceptions, is generally payable monthly, with interest rates that have historically been equal to an annual rate of the one-month SOFR plus a 0.10% SOFR spread adjustment plus a margin ranging from 1.35% to 2.20%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, as calculated under the terms of the amended credit agreement. Subject to certain conditions, including covenant compliance and payment of additional fees, the maturity date of the $130 million term loan facility may be extended by the Company to July 25, 2027. The credit agreement for the $130 million term loan facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, restrictions on certain investments and customary events of default. The Company may make voluntary prepayments, in whole or in part, at any time, subject to certain conditions.

$85 Million Term Loan Facility

On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into an unsecured $85 million term loan facility with a maturity date of December 31, 2029, consisting of one term loan funded at closing (the “$85 million term loan facility”).

The credit agreement for the $85 million term loan

facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, restrictions on certain investments and customary events of default. The Company may make voluntary prepayments, in whole or in part, subject to certain conditions.

$50 Million Senior Notes Facility

On March 16, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured $50 million senior notes facility with a maturity date of March 31, 2030, consisting of senior notes totaling $50 million funded at closing (the “$50 million senior notes facility”). The Company may make voluntary prepayments, in whole or in part, at any time, subject to certain conditions, including make-whole provisions. Interest payments on the $50 million senior notes facility are due quarterly, and the interest rate, subject to certain exceptions, ranges from an annual rate of 3.60% to 4.35% depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, as calculated under the terms of the note agreement.

$75 Million Senior Notes Facility

On June 2, 2022, the Company entered into an unsecured $75 million senior notes facility with a maturity date of June 2, 2029, consisting of senior notes totaling $75 million funded at closing (the “$75 million senior notes facility”, and collectively with the $1.2 billion credit facility, the $225 million term loan facility, the $130 million term loan facility, the $85 million term loan facility and the $50 million senior notes facility, the “unsecured credit facilities”).

About Debt Disclosures

Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.

Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
