We are exposed to two significant components of interest rate risk:
•Under the Line, we have a variable interest rate that, as of June 30, 2026, was based upon SOFR plus a 0.10% market adjustment ("Adjusted SOFR") plus an applicable margin of 0.685%. SOFR rates charged on our Line change daily, and the applicable margin on the Line is dependent upon maintaining specific credit ratings or leverage targets, as well as meeting specific sustainability target thresholds. If our credit ratings were downgraded or if we fail to meet the leverage targets or sustainability target thresholds, the applicable margin on the Line would increase, resulting in higher interest costs. As of June 30, 2026 the Adjusted SOFR plus the applicable margin of 0.685% was 4.405%.
•We are also exposed to changes in interest rates when we refinance our existing long-term fixed rate debt. The objective of our interest rate risk management program is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. To achieve these objectives, we borrow primarily at fixed interest rates and may also enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps, or treasury locks in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. Our interest rate swaps are structured solely for the purpose of interest rate protection.
We continuously monitor capital market conditions and assess our ability to refinance maturing debt and to fund our commitments. Based on our current credit ratings, the available capacity under our unsecured credit facility, and the number of unencumbered high quality properties we own that could serve as collateral, we believe we will be able to issue new secured or unsecured debt to finance maturing debt obligations; however, the extent to which capital market volatility and changes in interest rates may adversely affect the cost or availability of such financing remains uncertain.
The table below presents the principal cash flows, weighted average interest rates of remaining debt, and the fair value of total debt as of June 30, 2026. For variable rate mortgages for which we have interest rate swaps in place to fix the interest rate, they are included in the Fixed rate debt section below at their all-in fixed rate. The table is presented by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes. Although the average interest rate for variable rate debt is included in the table, those rates represent rates that existed as of June 30, 2026, and are subject to change. We continually assess the market risk for our floating-rate debt. As of June 30, 2026, our $30.0 million outstanding balance under our variable-rate line of credit was effectively fixed through an interest rate swap. Accordingly, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would not have had a material impact on future earnings or cash flows as of June 30, 2026.
Further, the table below incorporates only those exposures that exist as of June 30, 2026, and does not consider exposures or positions that could arise after that date or obligations repaid before maturity. Since firm but unused commitments are not presented, the table has limited predictive value. As a result, our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at that time, and actual interest rates.
The table below presents the principal cash flow payments associated with our outstanding debt by year, weighted average interest rates on debt outstanding at each year-end, and fair value of total debt as of June 30, 2026.

(1)Reflects amount of debt maturities during each of the years presented as of June 30, 2026. 2026 reflects amount of debt maturities for the remainder of the year.
(2)Reflects weighted average interest rates of debt outstanding at the end of each year presented. For variable rate debt, the rate as of June 30, 2026, was used to determine the average interest rate for all future periods.
