WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Easterly Government Properties, Inc. (NYSE: DEA) (the “Company” or “Easterly”), a fully integrated real estate investment trust focused primarily on the acquisition, development and management of Class A commercial properties leased to the U.S. Government and its adjacent partners, announced today that it has entered into a master note purchase agreement to issue $200 million of 6.56% (ICUR9 + 210 basis point spread) 9-year fixed rate, senior unsecured notes (“Senior Notes”), consisting of:
- $150 million of Series A Senior Notes issued and sold by Easterly Government Properties LP, the Company’s operating partnership (the “Partnership”), on May 29, 2024; and
- $50 million of Series B Senior Notes to be issued and sold by the Partnership on or about August 14, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.
“We believe that Easterly’s ability to obtain competitive pricing in the unsecured debt market is a reflection of the superior credit quality of our tenant and our investment grade balance sheet,” said Allison Marino, Easterly’s Chief Financial and Chief Accounting Officer. “We favorably priced with oversubscribed levels of new and existing investor support, thus enabling Easterly to appropriately stagger and extend its weighted average debt maturities.”
The Senior Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States or any other jurisdiction absent registration or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and the applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction.
