On February 16, 2021, in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), WPG disclosed that, on February 15, 2021, Washington Prime Group, L.P. ("WPG L.P."), the operating partnership of WPG, had "elected to withhold an interest payment of $23.2 million due on February 15, 2021 with respect to WPG L.P.'s outstanding Senior Notes due 2024," and that "WPG L.P. has a 30-day grace period to make the interest payment before such non-payment constitutes an 'event of default.'" The SEC filing further advised that, in an event of default, certain counterparties to the senior notes "could accelerate the outstanding indebtedness due . . . making such indebtedness due and payable, which would result in a cross-default with respect to some of WPG L.P.'s or the Company's other indebtedness."
Following the SEC filing, WPG's stock price fell $4.59 per share, or 38%, to close at $7.49 per share on February 16, 2021.
