Safehold Inc. (NYSE: SAFE), the creator of the modern ground lease industry, announced today that it has closed a new $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The new facility has a current borrowing rate of adjusted SOFR plus 100 basis points, with a maturity of July 31, 2025. Safehold has also amended its existing $1.35 billion revolving credit facility primarily to transition from LIBOR to SOFR. Both facilities are subject to a pricing grid based on Safehold’s credit ratings.
“We appreciate the support of both existing and new banking relationships in their commitment to our growth,” said Brett Asnas, Chief Financial Officer. “As our business and capital sources expand, our focus is to prudently manage the balance sheet.”
