Kimco Realty Corporation Closes $220 Million Unsecured Term Loan

NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Kimco Realty Corporation (NYSE: KIM) today announced that it closed on a new $220 million two-year unsecured term loan. The loan, which bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR (subject to a 2.00% LIBOR floor) plus 465 basis points, will mature in April 2011. The loan was increased 10 percent to $220 million from its initial size of $200 million.

The Company recently repaid $130 million of its unsecured medium term notes, bearing interest at 6.88%, through use of its U.S. unsecured revolving credit facility. Proceeds from this term loan will be used to partially repay outstanding amounts under the U.S. credit facility. After these pay downs, the Company will have approximately $1.6 billion of available borrowing capacity under its credit facilities, which bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 42.5 basis points and expire in 2012 (with extension).

The Bank of Nova Scotia and RBC Capital Markets acted as joint lead arrangers and joint book-running managers. A consortium of twelve banks, each providing between $5 million to $40 million, participated in the facility.
