In November 2024, the Company established a commercial paper note program. Under the terms of the program, the Company may issue up to $1,000,000 of unsecured commercial paper notes that bear interest at variable rates and have varying maturities (generally 30 days or less, with a maximum of 397 days). The commercial paper notes are issued under customary terms in the commercial paper market and are issued at a discount from par or, alternatively, can be issued at par and bear varying interest rates on a fixed or floating basis. The net proceeds from the issuances of the notes are used for general working capital and other general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include, but are not limited to, the repayment of other debt and selective development, redevelopment, or acquisition of properties. Outstanding commercial paper notes have been included in revolving lines of credit and commercial paper on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2025, there were $680,000 in issuances outstanding under the commercial paper program with a weighted-average maturity of 21 days.

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.
