Unsecured Credit Facility
On September 10, 2024, we entered into a $1.5 billion unsecured five-year revolving credit facility (“Credit Agreement”) that amended and restated our then-existing $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2025, borrowings under the Credit Agreement were available at variable rates based on SOFR plus 1.00% or the bank prime rate and we currently pay a commitment fee at an annual rate of 0.10% on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility. The applicable margins over SOFR and prime rate borrowings, along with commitment fees, are subject to adjustment every quarter based on our total net leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. All borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid without penalty.
The weighted average interest rate on $277.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility was 5.29% as of December 31, 2025. We had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2024. We had $0.7 million and $1.1 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Unsecured Term Loan
On August 14, 2025, we entered into a $400.0 million unsecured Term Loan Agreement (“Term Loan”) maturing August 14, 2028. The proceeds were used to repay our $400.0 million senior unsecured notes maturing August 15, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the borrowing under the Term Loan bore interest at SOFR plus 0.75%. The applicable interest rate margin over SOFR is subject to adjustment every quarter based on our total net leverage ratio that is defined similarly as in our Credit Agreement. The outstanding balance under the Term Loan can be prepaid without penalty.
The interest rate on the outstanding balance of the term loan was 4.49% as of December 31, 2025.
Senior Unsecured Notes
On August 15, 2025, we repaid, at maturity, the $400.0 million aggregate outstanding principal amount of our 1.30% unsecured senior notes maturing August 15, 2025 with the proceeds from the Term Loan.
Under the indentures for each series of our senior notes (the “indentures”), the notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. If we experience a change in control accompanied by a downgrade in our credit rating, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase each series of the notes at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Letter of Credit/Letters of Guarantee Facility
We have a $50.0 million standby letters of credit/letters of guarantee agreement with one of the lenders under our Credit Agreement. We had $31.7 million and $29.2 million outstanding under this facility as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Covenants
The Credit Agreement, Term Loan and indentures governing our debt securities include customary representations, warranties, covenants and events of default provisions. The covenants under the Credit Agreement and Term Loan include, among other things, a financial maintenance covenant that requires us to comply with a maximum total net leverage ratio. We were in compliance with the financial maintenance covenant under our Credit Agreement and Term Loan as of December 31, 2025.

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.
