Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 17, 2018, we, together with Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), through which we own our assets and conduct our business, entered into an amendment and restatement of our $600 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of lenders under which Bank of America, N.A. serves as administrative agent. The amendments, among other things; (i) extend the maturity date from May 15, 2019 to July 15, 2022, with two six-month extensions at our election subject to specified conditions and subject to payment of an extension fee; (ii) reduce the interest rate margins applicable to Eurodollar loans to a range between 0.825% and 1.55% per annum depending on our credit rating; (iii) provide for an additional interest rate option based on a floating Libor rate; and (iv) remove the covenant requiring us to maintain a minimum net worth.
The foregoing is a summary of the material amendments to the Revolving Credit Agreement, and is not a complete discussion. Accordingly, the summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Revolving Credit Agreement, the form of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
