Griffin Industrial Realty, Inc. announced that it entered into a new $15.0 million line of credit with Webster Bank, N.A. to provide financing for real estate acquisitions. The Acquisition Credit Line is unsecured, expires on September 30, 2021, and may be used to fund up to 65% of the purchase price of real estate acquisitions. Interest on advances under the Acquisition Credit Line are at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.75%. Amounts borrowed under the Acquisition Credit Line are expected to be repaid from proceeds from long-term financing of the property acquired. If amounts borrowed under the Acquisition Credit Line are not repaid within 135 days of the acquisition, a first mortgage in favor of Webster Bank would be placed on the property acquired.

Griffin also announced that it executed an amendment to its existing revolving credit line with Webster Bank that extends the Webster Credit Line through September 30, 2021. The Revolving Credit Line Amendment increases the amount of the Webster Credit Line from $15.0 million to $19.5 million while adding an approximately 31,000 square foot industrial/warehouse building to the Webster Credit Line’s existing collateral of approximately 283,000 square feet (mostly office/flex space). Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Line Amendment, the interest rate under the Webster Credit Line was reduced from the one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.75% to the one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.50%. Griffin has not had any borrowings under the Webster Credit Line since its inception in fiscal 2013.

Both the Acquisition Credit Line and the Webster Credit Line may be extended by Griffin for an additional year through September 30, 2022.
