STAG Industrial Lines Up $300M Refi on Term Debt

Boston-based REIT STAG Industrial has refinanced $300 million of unsecured debt previously scheduled to mature within the next year. The two term loans that were refinanced, each $150 million, were due to mature in September 2020 and March 2021.

The new term loan also includes an accordion feature that allows STAG to increase the aggregate size of the term loan to $600 million. The company entered into interest rate swaps to fix the new term loan at 1.78% through April 2023.

“This transaction significantly strengthens our balance sheet during these uncertain times,” said CFO Bill Crocker. The refinancing “has effectively resulted in no debt maturities until 2022.”

Wells Fargo Securities served as left lead arranger and bookrunner, with PNC Bank, TD Bank, Regions Bank, and U.S Bank serving as joint lead arrangers. Other lenders include Bank of America, Eastern Bank, Truist Bank, Citibank, American Savings Bank and Raymond James Bank.
