Current Year Activity
During the year ended December 31, 2025, there were $320.0 million of repayments on the unsecured revolving credit facility, net of borrowings. The Company generally uses the unsecured revolving credit facility to finance the acquisition of properties and businesses, to provide funds for tenant improvements and capital expenditures and to provide for working capital and other corporate purposes.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company secured the Office Portfolio CMBS loan (a commercial mortgage-backed securities loan) with an initial aggregate principal amount of $475.0 million. The loan bears interest at SOFR + 4.15% and matures on April 9, 2027, with three optional one-year extensions permitting certain financial and other covenants are met. The Company used the proceeds from the loan to repay $259.0 million on its unsecured revolving credit facility and to repay the $168.0 million loan secured by the Element LA property. The early repayment of the Element LA loan resulted in a $1.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The loan was originally secured by six office properties, including the Element LA property. Upon the sale of the Element LA property in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company made an early partial repayment of the Office Portfolio CMBS loan in the amount of $206.3 million. The early partial repayment resulted in a $6.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The loan is now secured by the remaining five office properties.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company amended its unsecured revolving credit facility agreement to adjust certain definitions and covenant calculations beginning with the period ending December 31, 2024. The amendment also resulted in a decrease in the total capacity from $900.0 million to $775.0 million. The Company then amended the agreement a second time, which resulted in an increase in the total capacity to $795.3 million and extended the maturity date for $462.0 million of the total commitments to December 31, 2029, which includes the effect of two optional six-month extensions at the sole discretion of the Company.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company fully repaid its Series B, Series C and Series D notes. The early repayment of the notes resulted in a $1.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, the Company refinanced its 1918 Eighth loan with a CMBS loan secured by the 1918 Eighth property with an aggregate principal balance of $285.0 million. The refinanced loan bears interest at a weighted average rate of 6.16% and matures on September 11, 2030. The refinance of the loan resulted in a $0.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
