Global real estate investment company Kennedy Wilson (NYSE:KW) today announced the expansion of its $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility to $550 million in partnership with a group of 10 banks. The new credit facility has a three-year term and two six-month extension options.

Loans under the new credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to SOFR plus a spread of 1.75% to 2.75%.

“This credit facility provides us with an efficient and flexible source of funding that positions us to act quickly on opportunities that we believe will continue to emerge in the short term,” said Kennedy Wilson Chairman and CEO William McMorrow. “We appreciate the support of our bank group in this expanded credit facility that will enable us to build on the growth we have experienced in many areas of our business this year.”

“We highly value the support from our bank group, including those who have been with us for decades, as well as new partnerships established through this facility,” said Matt Windisch, President of Kennedy Wilson. “We are pleased to push the fully extended maturity out to September 2028, and we believe that the increase in the size of the facility reflects the continued confidence in our business strategy moving forward.”

The revolving credit facility has current outstanding borrowings of approximately $175 million. Bank of America, N.A. will serve as administrative agent. BofA Securities, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and M&T Bank acted as the joint lead arrangers.
