| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On November 25, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), Safehold GL Holdings LLC (the “Borrower”) entered into an unsecured term loan A agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain other financial institutions party thereto (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement, Safehold Inc. (the “Company”) gave a guaranty pursuant to which it has absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under the Term Loan Credit Agreement as and when due and payable.
The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for $400,000,000 of term loans (the “Term Loans”) for working capital and general corporate purposes with a maturity date of November 15, 2030, which includes two one-year extension options. The Term Loans were drawn in full on the Closing Date, and the Company utilized the proceeds to repay approximately $400 million of borrowings under its $2.0 billion revolving credit facility. The Term Loans do not amortize. The Term Loan Credit Agreement also includes an accordion feature to increase or add one or more tranches of term loans up to an aggregate amount of $600,000,000, subject to obtaining lender commitments and the satisfaction of certain customary conditions.
The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides that the Term Loans will bear interest, at the Borrower’s option, at the rate of (x) the SOFR term rate plus an applicable rate ranging from 0.850% to 1.650% depending on Borrower’s credit rating, (y) the SOFR daily simple rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.850% to 1.650% depending on the Borrower’s credit rating or (z) the base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.000% to 0.650% depending on the Borrower’s credit rating.
The Company is required to comply with the following financial covenants under the Term Loan Credit Agreement:
| · | Ratio of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) to annualized fixed charges not less than 1.15:1.00; | |
| · | Ratio of total unencumbered assets to total unsecured debt not less than 1.25:1.00; and | |
| · | Ratio of Secured Debt (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries (net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to the extent there is an equivalent amount of Secured Debt that matures within twenty-four months of such date of determination) to total asset value not to exceed 50%. |
The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, limit the Borrower’s ability to (or permit certain subsidiaries to), subject to various exceptions and limitations, incur indebtedness and liens, make investments, pay dividends and enter into certain transactions. A breach of such covenants or any other event of default would entitle the administrative agent to accelerate the Borrower’s debt obligations.
The foregoing summary of the Term Loan Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Term Loan Credit 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.
