EastGroup Properties Unveils Sustainable Credit Strategy

Eastgroup Properties (EGP) has issued an update.

EastGroup Properties, Inc. has revamped its financing strategy by entering a new $625 million credit agreement, poised to mature in July 2028 with options to extend. This fresh agreement not only replaces their prior revolving credit facility but also introduces flexible interest rates tied to credit ratings and a sustainability-linked pricing feature that rewards the company’s eco-friendly initiatives. Additionally, it sets forth prudent financial covenants, ensuring the company maintains a strong balance sheet and limits on payouts unless necessary for REIT status, while also restricting certain corporate actions and additional debt accumulation. This strategic financial move is part of the company’s broader efforts to optimize its capital structure and support its growth while staying committed to sustainability.
