Several of the fixed rate mortgages carry interest rates that were above or below market rates upon assumption and therefore were recorded at their fair value based on applicable effective interest rates. The carrying values of these loans reflect net unamortized premiums totaling $720,000 at June 30, 2013 and $1.3 million at December 31, 2012.
|
|
|
(2) |
The weighted average interest rate on these loans was 5.99% at June 30, 2013.
|
|
|
(3) |
The interest rate on the loan outstanding was 2.44% at June 30, 2013.
|
|
|
(4) |

|
|
|
(5) |
We have the ability to borrow an aggregate of an additional $180.0 million under these term loan facilities, provided that there is no default under the facilities and subject to the approval of the lenders.
|
|
|

Refer to the paragraph below for disclosure pertaining to these notes. |

|
(8) |
These notes carry interest rates that were below market rates upon assumption and therefore were recorded at their fair value based on applicable effective interest rates. The carrying value of these notes reflects an unamortized discount totaling $816,000 at June 30, 2013 and $873,000 at December 31, 2012.

As described further in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, these notes have an exchange settlement feature that provides that the notes may, under certain circumstances, be exchangeable for cash and, at COPLP’s discretion, COPT common shares at an exchange rate (subject to adjustment) of 20.8513 shares per one thousand dollar principal amount of the notes (exchange rate is as of June 30, 2013 and is equivalent to an exchange price of $47.96 per common share). During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we repaid $239.4 million principal amount of these notes and recognized a $25.9 million loss on early extinguishment of debt. The carrying value of these notes included a principal amount of $575,000 and an unamortized discount totaling $17,000 at June 30, 2013 and a principal amount of $240.0 million and an unamortized discount totaling $9.1 million at December 31, 2012. The effective interest rate under the notes, including amortization of the issuance costs, was 6.05%. Because the closing price of our common shares at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was less than the exchange price per common share applicable to these notes, the if-converted value of the notes did not exceed the principal amount. The table below sets forth interest expense recognized on these notes before deductions for amounts capitalized (in thousands):

All debt is owed by the Operating Partnership. While COPT is not directly obligated by any debt, it has guaranteed our Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan Facilities, Unsecured Senior Notes and 4.25% Exchangeable Senior Notes.
On May 6, 2013, we issued a $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.600% Senior Notes at an initial offering price of 99.816% of their face value. The proceeds from the offering, after deducting discounts of the initial purchasers of the notes, but before other offering expenses, were approximately $347.1 million. The notes mature on May 15, 2023. We may redeem the notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at our option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) the aggregate principal amount of the notes being redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) discounted to its present value, on a semi-annual basis at an adjusted treasury rate plus 30 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption. The notes are unconditionally guaranteed by COPT. The carrying value of these notes reflects an unamortized discount totaling $2.9 million at June 30, 2013. The effective interest rate under the notes, including amortization of the issuance costs, was 3.70%.
We capitalized interest costs of $2.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013, $3.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012, $4.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and $7.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012.
