Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 10, 2009, Cedar Shopping Centers, Inc. (the “Company”) closed an amended and restated secured revolving stabilized property credit facility in the amount of $265 million (subsequently increased to $285 million), with Bank of America, N.A. continuing as administrative agent, together with three lead lenders and other participating banks. Pursuant to the terms of this facility, the Company has exercised its right to reduce the total commitment under this facility from $285 million to $185 million effective as of September 13, 2010.
The reduction will eliminate unused portion fees of 50 basis points under the facility, representing potential cost savings of approximately $500,000 on an annualized basis.
Amounts drawn as of this date under the facility have been reduced to a level of approximately $6 million. Based on covenant calculations and accepted collateral in place, total availability under the facility at this time is approximately $167 million, of which approximately $161 million is currently available to the Company.
The facility, which has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 350 basis points, with a LIBOR floor of 200 basis points, matures on January 31, 2012, subject to a one-year extension option.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
