Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 2, 2018, Agree Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), Agree Realty Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and certain indirect subsidiaries of the Borrower entered into a Second Amendment to Term Loan Agreement (the “2023 Term Loan Second Amendment”) with Capital One, National Association, as administrative agent and as a lender, and Raymond James Bank, N.A. (collectively, the “2023 Term Loan Lenders”), as a lender. The 2023 Term Loan Second Amendment amends the Term Loan Agreement dated as of July 1, 2016, as amended by the First Amendment and Joinder to Term Loan Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2016.

 

The 2023 Term Loan Second Amendment sets forth a new pricing grid for the calculation of the applicable rate. In accordance with the new pricing grid, borrowings under the term loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, (i) LIBOR plus a margin that is based upon the Company's credit rating or (ii) the Base Rate plus a margin that is based upon the Company's credit rating. The margins for term loan range in amount from 0.85% to 1.65% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 0.65% for Base Rate-based loans, depending on the Company's credit rating.

 

The foregoing description of the 2023 Term Loan Second Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the 2023 Term Loan Second Amendment. A copy of the 2023 Term Loan Second Amendment will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

On November 6, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing the 2023 Term Loan Second Amendment. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
