Safehold closes $400 million unsecured term loan maturing November 2030
On November 25, 2025, Safehold GL Holdings LLC entered into a $400 million unsecured term loan with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, and Safehold Inc. guaranteed the borrower's obligations. The company used the proceeds to repay about $400 million of borrowings under its $2.0 billion revolving credit facility. The company said the loan increases its liquidity to $1.3 billion, and the agreement includes financial covenants that, if breached, would allow the lenders' agent to accelerate the debt.
Key points
- Term loans of $400 million mature November 15, 2030, with two one-year extension options and an accordion feature for up to $600 million more, subject to lender commitments.
- At the company's current A3 / A- / A- credit ratings, the press release cites a borrowing rate of SOFR plus 90 basis points; the contract range is SOFR plus 0.850% to 1.650%.
- Covenants include a ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to annualized fixed charges of at least 1.15:1.00 and secured debt to total asset value of no more than 50%.
- A SOFR swap with a 3.0% strike rate runs through April 2028 and will hedge the transaction, according to the press release.
