The office building is leased to Thames Water Utilities Limited, a private utility company that provides public water supply and waste water treatment services in large parts of Greater London and other parts of the United Kingdom. The retail warehouse represents ARC Global's second acquisition of a property leased to Wickes Building Supplies Limited, a subsidiary of Travis Perkins plc (LSE: TPK), a leading supplier of building materials in the U.K.
ARC Global also announced today its entry into a $50 million credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The $50 million credit facility may be priced, based on ARC Global's leverage, at either an alternate base rate plus 0.60% to 1.20% or at adjusted LIBOR plus 1.60% to 2.20%. Through additional commitments, aggregate borrowings under the credit facility may be increased to up to $750 million.
Nicholas S. Schorsch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ARC Global commented, "These two recent acquisitions are examples of marrying high quality credit with very strong European net lease real estate assets that we have been able to acquire with our partner in Europe, Moor Park. With additional financing available through our new credit facility with JP Morgan, we will have ample flexibility and 'dry powder' to continue executing our European acquisition strategy while we identify strong office, industrial and special purpose net lease assets in the U.S."
