LTC Properties, Inc., a real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on seniors housing and health care properties, has significantly strengthened its capital structure by increasing commitments under its credit facility to $1.1 billion from $800 million. The move was executed through a second amendment to the Company's July 21, 2025 Credit Agreement, with the additional capacity secured via the Agreement's accordion feature. The development was disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 30, 2026.
Key Terms of the Amended Credit Agreement
The amendment introduces several material changes to LTC's credit structure. The $300 million increase in aggregate lender commitments is the centerpiece of the amendment, directly expanding the Company's financial flexibility. The following table summarizes the key changes under the amended Agreement:
| Parameter: | Before Amendment | After Amendment |
|---|---|---|
| Total Commitments: | $800 million | $1.1 billion |
| Revolving Credit Commitment: | $600 million | $900 million |
| Accordion Feature Cap: | Up to $1.2 billion | Up to $2.0 billion |
| Increase in Commitments: | — | $300 million |
Beyond the headline figures, LTC entered into three-year interest rate swap agreements to effectively fix the interest rates on $150 million under the Agreement at 4.97% per annum. The material terms of the Agreement otherwise remain unchanged.
Expanded Banking Relationships
As part of the amendment, LTC's bank group has been broadened to include two new institutional relationships:
- Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company
- Hancock Whitney
These additions reflect growing lender confidence in LTC's credit profile and expand the diversity of the Company's banking network.
