The three components are a $525 million <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/jbg-smith-recasts-1b-revolver\/\">revolving credit facility<\/a> and term loan, a $250 million term loan and an $83 million, 10-year mortgage.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>READ ALSO<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/simons-3-6b-taubman-buy-a-positive-sign-for-class-a-malls\/\">Simon\u2019s $3.6B Taubman Buy a Positive Sign for Class A Malls<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Slate Retail REIT is entirely focused on being an owner and operator of U.S. grocery-anchored real estate. Its 79 retail assets total about 10.2 million square feet and are valued around $1.3 billion. Slate\u2019s properties are mostly on or east of a line connecting Detroit and Nashville, including multiple properties in Atlanta, Florida and Charlotte, N.C.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the $858 million in total debt refinancing, according to Slate, provides annual interest savings of $1.7 million, extends weighted average debt maturity to 4.8 years and will provide about $212 million of borrowing capacity.<\/p>\n<p>The members of the lending syndicate(s) were not disclosed, and as of press time, Slate had not replied to <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>\u2019s request for this and additional information.<\/p>\n<h2>A substantial trident<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s a more detailed breakdown:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The $525 million revolving credit facility and term loan carry four- and five-year terms, respectively, and the former has two six-month extensions at Slate\u2019s option. Pricing has been reduced on the revolving credit facility and term loan by 15 and 25 basis points, respectively.<\/li>\n<li>The $250 million term loan amendment reduced the pricing on Slate\u2019s $250 million term loan, due in 2023, by 25 basis points.<\/li>\n<li>The new $83 million mortgage (expected to close before the end of this quarter) would be at 3.48 percent, with a 10-year term and a 30-year amortization. This loan would be secured by a pool of eight properties and will be non-recourse to the REIT. Proceeds will be used to reduce borrowings on Slate\u2019s revolving credit facility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/grocery-anchored-shopping-centers-a-safety-net-in-unpredictable-times\/\">In a December podcast<\/a> with <em>Commercial Property Executive<\/em>, Cedar Realty Trust President &amp; CEO Bruce Schanzer described why the resilience of grocery-anchored retail makes it a safe haven for investors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The debt refinancing package will help the grocery-anchored investment specialist capitalize on a robust pipeline of acquisition opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":882,"featured_media":1004325371,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21808,21825,23891,21742,21749],"tags":[35688],"class_list":["post-1004394554","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-finance","category-national","category-latest","category-retail","tag-slate-retail-reit"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Slate Retail REIT Nails Down $858M Refi - Commercial Property Executive<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/slate-retail-reit-nails-down-858m-refi\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Slate Retail REIT Nails Down $858M Refi\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The debt refinancing package will help the grocery-anchored investment specialist capitalize on a robust pipeline of acquisition opportunities.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/slate-retail-reit-nails-down-858m-refi\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Commercial Property Executive\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CPExecutive\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-02-25T15:04:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-02-25T16:16:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/05\/grocery-store-interior.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"620\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Scott Baltic\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cpexecutive\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@cpexecutive\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/slate-retail-reit-nails-down-858m-refi\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/slate-retail-reit-nails-down-858m-refi\/\",\"name\":\"Slate Retail REIT Nails Down $858M Refi - Commercial Property Executive\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/slate-retail-reit-nails-down-858m-refi\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/slate-retail-reit-nails-down-858m-refi\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/05\/grocery-store-interior.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2020-02-25T15:04:05+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-02-25T16:16:29+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/#\/schema\/person\/61ac1450f3ffaa0e850b834c28526555\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/slate-retail-reit-nails-down-858m-refi\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/slate-retail-reit-nails-down-858m-refi\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/slate-retail-reit-nails-down-858m-refi\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/05\/grocery-store-interior.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/05\/grocery-store-interior.jpg\",\"width\":800,\"height\":620,\"caption\":\"Grocery store interior.
