CBL Closes Loan Secured by Hamilton Place Mall
Interest Rate Improved by Nearly 150 Basis Points
CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (NYSE: CBL) today announced that it closed on a non-recourse $107.0 million loan secured
by Hamilton Place in Chattanooga, TN. The 10-year loan bears an interest rate of 4.36%. Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company served as
the lender. Proceeds from the loan were used to retire an existing $98.2 million loan with an interest rate of 5.86% that was
scheduled to mature in August 2016. CBL’s share of excess proceeds were utilized to reduce outstanding balances on its lines of
credit.
“The new financing – at very favorable terms – clearly demonstrates the confidence of our lending relationships in CBL,” said
Farzana K. Mitchell, Chief Financial Officer. “The Hamilton Place financing and the nearly $130 million in new equity already
raised this year are evidence of our continued access to attractively priced capital and strengthening balance sheet.”
Hamilton Place is owned in a 90%/10% consolidated joint venture. All amounts above are reflected at 100%.
