2022 Capital Market Activities

“RPT demonstrated its proactive balance sheet management by issuing debt and equity in early 2022 when cost of capital was low and refinancing its unsecured credit facility ahead of the dislocation in the capital markets that occurred in the fall,” said Michael Fitzmaurice, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer. “At the end of 2022, the Company had no debt maturing until 2025 and had fixed all remaining term loan debt through maturity, significantly reducing RPT’s exposure to the impact of rising interest rates.”

For the full year 2022, the Company, through its three strategic platforms, raised and closed on $1.2 billion of gross capital, comprised of an $810 million amended and restated credit facility, a $350 million refinancing of its RGMZ acquisition revolver, $52 million of R2G mortgage debt and $18 million of a forward equity issuance under its at-the-market equity distribution program (“ATM”).

Fourth Quarter 2022 Capital Market Highlights

  • In December, the Company opportunistically executed forward starting swaps covering $160 million of notional value that swap SOFR to a fixed rate of 3.04%, consisting of $60 million fixed at 3.35% that starts in March 2023, $50 million fixed at 2.87% that starts in November 2024 and $50 million fixed at 2.86% that starts in January 2025. With these swaps, the Company has fixed the rate on the SOFR component of all outstanding term loan debt through their respective maturities.
  • In December, the Company settled 1.2 million common shares that were previously offered and sold on a forward basis under its ATM at a weighted average gross price of $13.85 per share. The Company currently has $133 million available for issuance under the ATM.
  • In October, the Company closed on the repayment of a $27 million mortgage secured by The Shops on Lane Avenue, eliminating all debt maturities until 2025.
