Hudson Pacific Properties increases revolving credit facility to $795 million

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (NYSE: HPP) has completed an amendment and extension of its existing unsecured revolving credit facility. The amendment increases permitted borrowings to $795 million, up from $775 million, with a year-end 2026 maturity date. Following this, the company will have access to $462 million of permitted borrowings maturing year-end 2029, including two six-month extension options.

The interest rate on the facility remains at SOFR plus 115 to 160 basis points, and the annual fee at 15 to 30 basis points. However, certain covenants have been modified, including an increase in the minimum ratio of adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges from 1.4x to 1.5x and a reduction in the minimum ratio of unencumbered net operating income to unsecured interest expense from 2.00 to 1.75 until the end of 2026. Additionally, a minimum liquidity covenant of $125 million of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and unused credit facility commitments has been added in the event aggregate borrowings under the credit facility exceed $600 million.

Harout Diramerian, Hudson Pacific’s CFO, expressed satisfaction with the amendment and extension, highlighting the nearly $800 million capacity through year-end 2026 and close to half a billion of capacity through year-end 2029, including extension options.
