On July 15, 2013, COPT issued 1.5 million common shares at a weighted average price of $26.05 per share under its at-the-market (“ATM”) stock offering program established in October 2012, representing its first issuance under the ATM program. Net proceeds from the shares issued totaled $38.5 million, after payment of $586,000 in commissions to sales agents. The proceeds from the shares issued were contributed to COPLP in exchange for 1.5 million common units.
On July 16, 2013, we entered into an amendment to our credit agreement providing for an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The amendment extended the maturity date of the facility from September 2014 to July 2017, with the ability for us to extend such maturity by one year at our option, provided that there is no default under the facility and we pay an extension fee of 0.15% of the total availability of the facility. The amendment also changed the interest rate on the facility to be based on LIBOR (customarily the 30-day rate) plus 0.975% to 1.75%, as determined by the credit ratings assigned to COPLP by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. or Fitch Ratings Ltd. (collectively, the “Ratings Agencies”). Also on July 16, 2013, we entered into amendments on $550.0 million in existing unsecured term loan agreements with the same group of lenders as the Revolving Credit Facility that added one-year in extension options and changed the interest rate applicable to the facilities to be based on LIBOR (customarily the 30-day rate) plus 1.10% to 2.00%, as determined by the credit ratings assigned to COPLP by the Ratings Agencies.
