INDIANAPOLIS, April 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Simon, a global leader in retail real estate, today announced that it has exercised its $750 million accordion feature on its $2.75 billion unsecured multi-currency supplemental revolving credit facility. The facility's borrowing capacity has been increased from $2.75 billion to $3.5 billion. The terms of the facility have also been modified to permit the Company to further increase the facility to $4.25 billion during its term, which will initially mature on June 30, 2019 and can be extended for an additional year to June 30, 2020, at the Company's sole option.
