Kilroy Realty Announces $400 Million Unsecured Term Loan Facility

Kilroy Realty Corporation (NYSE: KRC) (the “Company”) today announced that its operating partnership, Kilroy Realty, L.P. (“KRLP” or the “Borrower”), has closed on a new unsecured term loan facility for an aggregate amount of $400 million with a maturity date of October 3, 2026, which reflects two 1-year extension options (the “Term Loan”) at the Borrower’s option. The Term Loan also includes a delayed draw feature and a $100 million accordion mechanism, subject to lender commitments.

The borrowing rate under the Term Loan is variable and subject to a ratings-based pricing grid, currently calculated as one-month Adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 95-basis points. The Company expects to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including funding development and redevelopment projects.

“We’re pleased to have received the strong support from our established and long-standing banking partners,” said Eliott Trencher, the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer. “We believe the new term loan further strengthens our liquidity and provides an attractive source of capital to continue to fund our value enhancing development pipeline.”

A total of thirteen lenders participated in the Term Loan, including JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. as a Joint Bookrunner, Joint Lead Arranger and Administrative Agent and BofA Securities, Inc. as a Joint Bookrunner, Joint Lead Arranger and Syndication Agent. PNC Capital Markets LLC, U.S. Bank National Association, and The Bank of Nova Scotia served as Joint Bookrunners and Joint Lead Arrangers. The Bank of New York Mellon, Bank of the West, a California Banking Corporation, Barclays Bank PLC, KeyBank National Association, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Associated Bank, National Association, MUFG Union Bank, N.A., and Comerica Bank served as Co-Documentation Agents.

In connection with the Term Loan, the Company amended its unsecured Revolving Credit Agreement to replace the LIBOR-based interest rate option with a SOFR-based interest rate option for its loan borrowings.
