Read MoreHide Full Article
LaSalle Hotel Properties has made the announcement of refinancing $1.05 billion of debt. This is likely to add to the financial flexibility of the Bethesda, MD-based real estate investment trust (“REIT”). With this refinancing, the company has been able to lower the interest expenses on its $750 million revolving loan and a term loan of $300 million. The REIT has also extended the maturity to Jan 2022.
Subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, both the revolver and the five-year term loan hold some accordion features which allow for commitment of $1.25 billion for the revolver and $500 million for the term loan. The rate of interest of the new revolver is calculated on the basis of a pricing grid range of 150–225 basis points over London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”).
