Alpine Income Property Trust Announces Expanded $350 Million Credit Facility

WINTER PARK, Fla., Oct. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpine Income Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE: PINE) (the “Company”) today announced that it has successfully amended and restated its senior unsecured Credit Facility. The Credit Facility was increased to $350 million and is comprised of a $250 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) and the Company’s existing $100 million unsecured term loan (the “2027 Term Loan”) (together, the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility includes an accordion option that allows the Company to request additional Revolver and 2027 Term Loan lender commitments up to a total of $750 million. The Company’s existing $100 million 2026 senior unsecured term loan will remain outstanding through maturity in January of 2026.

“We appreciate and value the strong support shown by our expanded bank group. With the closing of the Credit Facility and our recent interest rate hedging activities, we now have no debt maturing until 2026, minimal floating interest rate exposure, and meaningful liquidity to accretively execute our retail net lease investment strategy,” said Matthew Partridge, Chief Financial Officer of Alpine Income Property Trust.

The Credit Facility made structural changes to certain financial covenants and includes a sustainability-linked pricing component that reduces the applicable interest rate margin if the Company meets certain sustainability performance targets. The Revolver refinanced and increased the Company’s existing $150 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to mature in November of 2023. The new Revolver will mature in January 2027, with extension options available to extend the maturity date for an additional year to January of 2028. Based on the Company’s current leverage ratio, the initial interest rate for the Revolver will be SOFR plus 165 basis points and a 10-basis point SOFR index adjustment.

KeyBank Capital Markets Inc., Raymond James Bank, Regions Capital Markets and The Huntington National Bank acted as Joint Lead Arrangers for the Revolver. KeyBank National Association will act as Administrative Agent and Raymond James Bank, Regions Bank and The Huntington National Bank will act as Co-Syndication Agents for the Revolver. Bank of Montreal, Truist Bank, PNC Bank, National Association, and Synovus Bank also participated in the Revolver.

KeyBank National Association will act as advisor and sole Sustainability Structuring Agent.
