For purposes of classification of the above table, variable rate debt with a derivative financial instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is deemed as fixed rate debt due to the Company having effectively established a fixed interest rate for the underlying debt instrument.
Our secured debt instruments generally feature either monthly interest and principal or monthly interest-only payments with balloon payments due at maturity. As of December 31, 2025, secured debt encumbered approximately 10% of UDR’s total real estate owned based upon gross book value (approximately 90% of UDR’s real estate owned based on gross book value is unencumbered).
(a) At December 31, 2025, fixed rate mortgage notes payable are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest and mature at various dates from June 2026 through February 2031 and carry interest rates ranging from 2.62% to 4.39%.
In July 2025, the Company repaid a $44.3 million fixed rate mortgage at maturity with borrowings from the Company’s unsecured commercial paper program.
In November 2025, the Company repaid a $127.6 million fixed rate mortgage at maturity with borrowings from the Company’s unsecured commercial paper program.
The Company will from time to time acquire properties subject to fixed rate debt instruments. In those situations, the Company records the debt at its estimated fair value and amortizes any difference between the fair value and par value to interest expense over the term of the underlying debt instrument.
(b) During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company had $0.7 million, $1.3 million, and $3.4 million, respectively, of amortization of the fair market adjustment of debt assumed in the acquisition of properties inclusive of its fixed rate mortgage notes payable, which was included in Interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The unamortized fair market adjustment was a net premium/(discount) of $(0.5) million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
(c) The variable rate mortgage note payable secures a tax-exempt housing bond issue that matures in March 2032. Interest on this note is payable in monthly installments. As of December 31, 2025, the variable interest rate on the mortgage note was 3.11%.
(d) The Company has a $1.3 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and a $350.0 million unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”). The credit agreement for these facilities (the “Credit Agreement”) allows the total commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility and the total borrowings under the Term Loan to be increased to an aggregate maximum amount of up to $2.5 billion, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from one or more lenders. The Revolving Credit Facility has a scheduled maturity date of August 31, 2028, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions. In September 2025, the Company amended the Term Loan to extend the maturity date to January 2029, with two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions. The Term Loan was previously set to mature on January 31, 2027.
Based on the Company’s current credit rating, the Revolving Credit Facility has an interest rate equal to plus a margin of 77.5 basis points and a facility fee of 15 basis points, and the Term Loan has an interest rate equal to plus a margin of 85.0 basis points. Depending on the Company’s credit rating, the margin under the Revolving Credit Facility ranges from 70 to 140 basis points, the facility fee ranges from 10 to 30 basis points, and the margin under the Term Loan ranges from 75 to 160 basis points. In addition, the Credit Agreement allows for the Company in consultation with the sustainability structuring agent to propose key performance indicators with respect to certain environmental, social, and governance goals of the Company, and thresholds or targets with respect thereto, and a related amendment to the Credit Agreement, that if entered into may allow a change in the applicable margin for the Term Loan of up to five basis points.
In September 2025, the Company entered into three interest rate swaps totaling $175.0 million of notional value, which became effective in September 2025, to hedge against interest rate risk on a portion of the Term Loan debt until October 2027. The weighted average interest rate on $175.0 million of the Term Loan debt, inclusive of the impact of interest rate swaps, is 4.04% until October 2027.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default, following the applicable cure period, would permit the
lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

Under the terms of the program, the Company may issue unsecured commercial paper up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding of $700.0 million. The notes are sold under customary terms in the United States commercial paper market and rank pari passu with all of the Company’s other unsecured indebtedness. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Operating Partnership.

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.
