Kimco Realty Announces Pricing of $400 Million 2.700% Notes Due 2024 and $350 Million 4.125% Notes Due 2046

Kimco Realty Corp. (NYSE:KIM) today announced its public offering of: (i) $400 million aggregate principal amount of notes due 2024 (the “2024 notes”) at a coupon of 2.700% per annum with an effective yield of 2.778%, maturing March 1, 2024; and (ii) $350 million aggregate principal amount of notes due 2046 (the “2046 notes”) at a coupon of 4.125% per annum with an effective yield of 4.171%, maturing December 1, 2046. The offering is expected to settle on November 10, 2016, subject to customary closing conditions.

The company intends to use the net proceeds of approximately $739.3 million for general corporate purposes, including to (i) repay up to $400.0 million of the company’s borrowings under our $650.0 million unsecured term loan maturing in January 2017 (subject to three one-year extension options), which borrowings bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus .950% (1.47% as of September 30, 2016); and (ii) pre-fund 2017 debt maturities, including $505.6 million of mortgage debt outstanding with a weighted average interest rate of 5.6%, and any associated prepayment penalties. Prior to the repayment of the 2017 debt maturities, proceeds from this offering may be used for any purpose, including to temporarily reduce borrowings (of which $225.0 million were outstanding as of September 30, 2016) under the company’s revolving credit facility maturing in March 2018 (subject to two six-month extension options), which borrowings bear interest at a rate of one-month LIBOR plus 0.925% (1.45% as of September 30, 2016).

“Our ability to opportunistically access the capital markets in this low rate environment provides flexibility with our capital plan and adds meaningful value for our shareholders,” said Glenn Cohen, Kimco Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Together, these two new bonds further extend the company’s weighted average debt maturity profile from six years to nearly nine years, and improve our fixed charge coverage ratio, which are both important factors as we continue to enhance our unsecured credit rating as part of Kimco’s 2020 Vision.”
