The Company fully repaid these unsecured notes in January 2024 and incurred a make-whole charge of $0.3 million resulting from this early repayment of these notes, which are included in Merger charges on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
(2)
The Company entered into a Seventh Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, through which the assumed term loans were terminated (fully repaid) and new term loans were issued to replace the assumed loans. The new term loans retained the amounts and maturities of the assumed term loans, however the rates (Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 90.5 basis points and fluctuates based on credit rating profile and achieving sustainability metric targets, as described in the agreement) and covenants were revised to match those within the Company’s Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2025, the interest rate on these term loans is SOFR plus 81.0 basis points after reductions for sustainability metrics achieved and an upgraded credit rating profile. The Company entered into 20 swap rate agreements with various lenders swapping the interest rates to all-in fixed rates (ranging from 4.4793% to 4.6801% as of December 31, 2025). See Footnote 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for interest rate swap disclosure.

The Company’s supplemental indentures governing its Senior Unsecured Notes contain covenants whereby the Company is subject to maintaining (a) certain maximum leverage ratios on both unsecured senior corporate and secured debt, minimum debt service coverage ratios and minimum equity levels, (b) certain debt service ratios and (c) certain asset to debt ratios. In addition, the Company is restricted from paying dividends in amounts that exceed by more than $26.0 million the funds from operations, as defined therein, generated through the end of the calendar quarter most recently completed prior to the declaration of such dividend; however, this dividend limitation does not apply to any distributions necessary to maintain the Company's qualification as a REIT provided the Company is in compliance with its total leverage limitations. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants as of December 31, 2025.

Interest on the Company’s fixed-rate Senior Unsecured Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. Proceeds from these issuances were primarily used for the acquisition of shopping centers, the expansion and improvement of properties in the Company’s portfolio and the repayment of certain debt obligations of the Company.

Credit Facility

The Company has a $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with a group of banks. The Credit Facility is scheduled to expire in March 2027 with two additional six-month options to extend the maturity date, at the Company’s discretion, to March 2028. The Credit Facility can be increased to $2.75 billion through an accordion feature. The Credit Facility is a green credit facility tied to sustainability metric targets, as described in the agreement. The Credit Facility accrues interest at a rate of Adjusted Term SOFR, as defined in the terms of the Credit Facility, plus an applicable spread determined by the Company’s credit ratings. The interest rate can be further adjusted upward or downward based on the sustainability metric targets and the Company's credit rating outlook, as defined in the agreement. As of December 31, 2025, the interest rate on the Credit Facility is Adjusted Term SOFR plus 68.5 basis points (4.47% as of December 31, 2025) after reductions for sustainability metrics achieved and an upgraded credit rating profile. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is subject to certain covenants. As of December 31, 2025, the Credit Facility had no outstanding balance, no appropriations for letters of credit, and the Company was in compliance with its covenants.

In February 2026, the Company closed on a new $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") with a group of banks. For a full description of the New Credit Facility's terms and covenants, refer to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of February 18, 2026, filed as Exhibit 10.33 to this Annual Report.

Commercial Paper Program

During January 2026, the Company established a commercial paper program to issue unsecured, unsubordinated notes up to a maximum of $750.0 million (the "Commercial Paper Program"). The Commercial Paper Program is backstopped by the Company's commitment to maintain available borrowing capacity under its Credit Facility in an amount equal to actual borrowings under the program.

Term Loan Credit Facility

The Company has a $550.0 million unsecured term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”) with a group of banks, which matures in January 2027 with two one-year options to extend the maturity date, at the Company's discretion, to January 2029. The Term Loan Credit Facility accrues interest at a spread (currently SOFR plus 80.0 basis points after reductions for an upgraded credit rating profile), that fluctuates in accordance with changes in the Company’s senior debt ratings. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had six swap rate agreements with various lenders swapping the overall interest rate on the Term Loan Credit Facility to an all-in fixed rate of 4.5122%. See Footnote 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for interest rate swap disclosure.

The Parent Company guarantees the unsecured debt instruments of Kimco OP, including the Credit Facility. These guarantees by the Parent Company are full, irrevocable, unconditional and absolute joint and several guarantees to the holders of each series of such unsecured debt instruments.

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.
