On July 13, 2017, Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. (the “Company”), as guarantor, and its operating partnership, Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), as issuer, entered into a Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers named therein (the “Purchasers”). The Note Purchase Agreement provides for the private placement of $125.0 million of senior guaranteed notes, maturing on July 13, 2027, with a fixed annual interest rate of 3.93% (the “Notes”). On July 13, 2017, the Operating Partnership and the purchasers completed the issuance of the Notes.
Interest on the Notes will be payable quarterly on the thirteenth day of January, April, July and October in each year, commencing on October 13, 2017. The Operating Partnership will be permitted to prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in amounts not less than $2.5 million of the Notes then outstanding at (i) 50% of the principal amount so prepaid and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount (as defined herein and in the Note Purchase Agreement). The "Make-Whole Amount" is equal to the excess, if any, of the discounted value of the remaining scheduled payments with respect to the Notes being prepaid over the amount of such Notes.
The Note Purchase Agreement contains a series of financial and other covenants the Company and the Operating Partnership must comply with, including:
|
Maintaining a ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 60%; |
|
Maintaining a ratio of total secured debt to total asset value of not more than 40%; |
|
Maintaining a ratio of total secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 15%; |

|
Maintaining a ratio of adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges of at least 1.50 to 1.0; |
|
Maintaining a ratio of total unsecured debt to total unencumbered asset value of not more than 60%; and |
|
Maintaining a ratio of unencumbered NOI to unsecured interest expense of at least 1.75 to 1.0. |
Subject to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes, upon certain events of default, including, but not limited to, (i) a default in the payment of any principal, Make-Whole Amount, as discussed above, or interest under the Notes, (ii) a default in the payment of certain other indebtedness of the Operating Partnership, the Company or their subsidiaries, (iii) a default in compliance with the covenants set forth in Note Purchase Agreement, and (iv) bankruptcy and other insolvency defaults, the principal and accrued and unpaid interest and the Make-Whole Amount on the outstanding Notes will become due and payable at the option of the Purchasers.
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Notes.
The Operating Partnership used the proceeds from the issuance of the Notes to partially fund the acquisition of an industrial business park, as further described under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The Operating Partnership offered and sold the Notes in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The foregoing summary of the Note Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
