FCPT Announces Upsizing and Extension of Unsecured Credit Facility
MILL VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Four Corners Property Trust (NYSE:FCPT), a real estate investment trust primarily engaged in the ownership and acquisition of high-quality, net-leased restaurant and retail properties (“FCPT” or the “Company”), announced today that the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement with a group of existing and new lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement increases the overall size of the facility from $940 million to $1.15 billion by entering into a new senior unsecured $400 million term loan (the “2031 Term Loan”) that matures in August 2031. The 2031 Term Loan will be used, in part, to repay $190 million of outstanding loans maturing in November 2026 and February 2027, while $210 million of incremental proceeds are expected to fund investments and other general corporate purposes. $360 million of the 2031 Term Loan was drawn at close, with the remaining balance consisting of delayed draw term loan commitments that are expected to be drawn by the end of Q3 or early Q4 of 2026 to further support the Company's general corporate purposes and fund its investment pipeline.
As part of this amendment and restatement, FCPT's lenders have agreed to improved credit margin spreads under the Credit Agreement. Based on FCPT’s current investment grade ratings of BBB/Baa3 (Fitch/Moody’s), FCPT's interest expense for term loans is SOFR + 0.90% and SOFR + 0.85% for revolving loans. The current floating reference rate for SOFR is approximately 3.6%, which, when combined with the 0.90% credit spread puts the Company's all-in interest rate for the term loan at approximately 4.5%. FCPT estimates the 5-10 bps improvement in credit spreads over prior levels will potentially save the Company $450,000 in annual interest expense on a go-forward basis across all $800 million of term loan tranches subject to the Credit Agreement.
Additionally, FCPT’s lenders agreed to extend the maturity of FCPT’s existing $85 million term loan tranche to March 2028 and provide an additional one-year extension option to the same tranche at the Company’s discretion, subject to certain conditions. The maturities of FCPT's other term loan tranches and the revolving facility were not impacted by the extension.
Separately, the Company has entered into new SOFR swaps over the course of 2026. On a fully drawn basis, FCPT's total term loan balance will be 72% swapped to fixed at a blended rate of 3.1% as of all hedges effective August 2026, and FCPT’s overall debt profile will be 82% fixed inclusive of all outstanding debt.
Patrick Wernig, Chief Financial Officer of FCPT, commented: “We are very thankful for the strong support of our bank partners, and welcome both Citibank and Royal Bank of Canada as new lenders. This recast addresses virtually all near term maturities and gives investors a clear understanding of the very accretive spreads for FCPT's recent investments, which have already pushed 2026 to a record acquisition year. Pro forma for this transaction, FCPT will have full availability under its $350 million senior unsecured revolving facility and benefit from a well-laddered maturity schedule. We remain within our stated leverage targets and under 6.0x leverage.”
