(a)Reflects effective rate of debt, including deferred financing costs, comprised of the cost of terminated treasury lock agreements (if any), debt initiation costs, mark-to-market adjustment of acquired debt and other transaction costs, as applicable.

(b)In January 2022, the Company repaid this mortgage loan upon disposition of the property which was collateral against the mortgage loan. This mortgage loan does not permit early pre-payment. As a result of the disposal of the property, the Company incurred costs of approximately $6.3 million at closing, which was expensed as loss from extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2022. See Note 3-Recent Transactions.

(c)This construction loan has a maximum borrowing capacity of $92 million and provides, subject to certain conditions, and a one year extension option with a fee of 15 basis points, of which the Company has guaranteed 10 percent of the outstanding principal, subject to certain conditions. The Company has agreed to terms on a new mortgage loan, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2022, that will repay the existing constructing loan.

(d)In May 2021, the Company executed an agreement extending its maturity date to April 2023, with a six month extension option. The Company repaid $5 million of the outstanding principal and has guaranteed $14.5 million of the outstanding principal, subject to certain conditions. The loan requires a one month trailing debt service coverage charge test (“DSCR Test”), which the Company was not in compliance with for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. Therefore, the Company is required to deposit three months of interest amounting to $0.7 million into an escrow account and sweep all excess property level cash flows into such escrow account until two consecutive periods have passed where the Company is in compliance with the DSCR Test. The Company does not believe this will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.

(e)This construction loan has a LIBOR floor of 2.0 percent, has a maximum borrowing capacity of $300 million and provides, subject to certain conditions, a one year extension option with a fee of 25 basis points.

(f)The Company has guaranteed 10 percent of the outstanding principal, subject to certain conditions.

(g)On October 27, 2021, the Company obtained a $75 million mortgage loan maturing in October 2026 and repaid the existing construction loan. The Company entered into an interest-rate cap agreement for the mortgage loan.

(h)Effective rate reflects the first five years of interest payments at a fixed rate. Interest payments after that period ends are based on LIBOR plus 2.75% annually.

(i)The loan was modified to defer interest and principal payments for a six month period ending December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2022, deferred interest of $0.8 million has been added to the principal balance.

 

CASH PAID FOR INTEREST AND INTEREST CAPITALIZED

Cash paid for interest for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $17.8 million and $18.1 million (of which zero and $1.3 million pertained to properties classified as discontinued operations), respectively. Interest capitalized by the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $6.4 million and $8.6 million, respectively (which amounts included zero and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of interest capitalized on the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures which were substantially in development).
