Community Healthcare Trust Incorporated Announces Upsizing and Maturity Extension of $400 Million Senior Unsecured Line of Credit

FRANKLIN, Tenn., October 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Community Healthcare Trust Incorporated (NYSE: CHCT) (the "Company") today announced that it has closed on an amended 5-year $400 million senior unsecured revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Facility") with the Second Amendment to the Company's Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Refinancing Transaction"). This amended $400 million Revolving Facility will significantly increase the Company's liquidity compared to the previous $150 million senior unsecured revolving line of credit. Additionally, this Refinancing Transaction extends the Company's debt maturity profile with the next debt maturity not being until March 2028. Finally, the Company also achieved improved, lower pricing on the Revolving Facility of 10 to 30 basis points depending on the applicable leverage ratio. The Company's Revolving Facility is supported by 12 financial institutions with Truist Bank continuing to be the Administrative Agent.

Proceeds from the increased Revolving Facility were used to repay the existing seven-year term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million (the "A-3 Term Loan"), which was scheduled to mature on March 29, 2026. In addition, approximately $123.0 million that was outstanding under the Revolving Facility prior to October 16, 2024 will remain outstanding under the Revolving Facility pursuant to the Refinancing Transaction.

As amended by the Refinancing Transaction, amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility will bear annual interest at a floating rate that is based, at the Company's option, on either: (i) adjusted term SOFR or adjusted daily simple SOFR (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.15% to 1.75% or (ii) a base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.15% to 0.75% in each case, depending upon the Company's leverage ratio. Amounts outstanding under the A-4 Term Loan and A-5 Term Loan will continue to bear annual interest at a floating rate that is based, at the Company's option, on either: (i) adjusted term SOFR or adjusted daily simple SOFR (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 1.65% to 2.30% or (ii) a base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 0.65% to 1.30%, in each case, depending upon the Company's leverage ratio. The Company previously entered into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rates on the A-3 Term Loan, A-4 Term Loan and A-5 Term Loan, with the interest rate swaps on the A-3 Term Loan remaining in place to fix the interest rates on a portion of the borrowings now under the Revolving Facility.
