Farmer Mac Bond #6 and Farmer Mac Bond #7 were repaid in April 2025 upon their maturity. While Farmer Mac Bond #6 and Farmer Mac Bond #7 bore fixed interest rates of 3.69% and 3.68%, respectively, the Farmer Mac Facility bears interest of one-month term SOFR, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the credit facility is 1.30% to 1.50%, depending on the aggregate principal amount outstanding.  As of December 31, 2025, the applicable margin is 1.50%. In connection with the agreements, the Company entered into a guaranty agreement whereby the Company agreed to guarantee the full performance of the Operating Partnership’s duties and obligations under the Farmer Mac debt. The Farmer Mac debt is subject to the Company’s ongoing compliance with a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as a maximum loan-to-value ratio of not more than 60%. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants at December 31, 2025. In addition, under the Farmer Mac Facility, the Operating Partnership may request that Farmer Mac purchase additional bonds up to an additional $200.0 million, which Farmer Mac may approve at its sole discretion.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $156.7 million and $167.8 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding, respectively, under the credit agreements between Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (collectively, the “MetLife credit agreements”). Each of the MetLife credit agreements contains a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants, including the requirement to maintain a loan to value ratio of no greater than 60%.

​

The Company also has a credit facility with MetLife that provides the Company with access to additional liquidity on a revolving credit basis at a floating rate of interest equal to three-month term SOFR plus 195 basis points. As of December 31, 2025, the facility

size was $50.0 million, no amounts had been borrowed and all $50.0 million remained available under the senior secured revolving line of credit entered into by the Operating Partnership with MetLife in October 2022 (the “MetLife Facility”).

​

On each adjustment date for MetLife Term Loans #1 and 4-9, MetLife may, at its option, adjust the rate of interest to any rate of interest determined by MetLife consistent with rates for substantially similar loans secured by real estate substantially similar to the collateral. At the time of rate adjustment, the Company may make a prepayment equal to the unpaid principal balance for each of the MetLife loans. Otherwise, the Company may make a prepayment equal to 20% to 100% of the unpaid principal balance (depending on the tranche of debt) during a calendar year without penalty.

In September 2025, the credit facility was amended to reduce the facility size to $51.0 million. The Company accounted for these amendments as a debt modification, and as a result, recognized a non-cash loss of $0.07 and $0.06 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, within Other (income) expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.
