OAK BROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

InvenTrust Properties Corp. ("InvenTrust" or the "Company") announced today it has entered into a new $300 million unsecured term loan credit facility (the "Facility") with a group of lenders led by Wells Fargo Securities, LLC ("Wells Fargo"). The Facility is available for general corporate purposes including acquisitions and maturing debt payoffs. This borrowing capacity significantly increases InvenTrust's financial resources for both working capital and the Company's future debt maturities.

"The execution of this new credit facility provides an opportunity to enhance InvenTrust's strong capital position and balance sheet capacity", said Michael E. Podboy, Executive Vice President – Chief Financial Officer, Chief Investment Officer of InvenTrust. "We also expect it will lower our overall cost of financing and fund the retirement of a portion of our secured debt maturing in 2017."

Angela Blaising, VP of Capital Markets for InvenTrust, added, "Wells Fargo worked with InvenTrust to structure an agreement that supports our Company's long-term strategy and enhances the laddering of our debt maturities. We are pleased to add this significant credit facility to our capital portfolio."

The Facility includes an accordion feature that allows the Company, under certain circumstances, to increase the size of the Facility by up to an additional $300 million. The Facility, which is separate from but pari passu with the Company's existing $300 million unsecured line of credit, is comprised of two tranches: $200 million with a term of just more than five years and $100 million with a term of seven years. The Facility may be drawn for one year from the agreement date, after which the unused portion will terminate.

Pricing is based on the Company's total leverage ratio at September 30, 2015. Pricing for the first tranche is LIBOR plus 1.30% and for the second tranche is LIBOR plus 1.60%.

Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Incorporated acted as joint lead arrangers for the five-year tranche and PNC Capital Markets LLC acted as joint lead arranger for the seven-year tranche. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. is the administrative agent. Bank of America, N.A. is the syndication agent for the five-year tranche and PNC Bank, N.A. is the syndication agent for the seven-year tranche.
