-
On September 20, 2017, FCPT announced it had signed a definitive
agreement to acquire 41 outparcel properties from Washington Prime
Group (WPG) for $67.2 million in cash at a cap rate consistent with
past FCPT acquisitions. The transaction is expected to close in two
tranches, with the first tranche representing approximately one-third

the remaining properties expected to close by the end of the second
quarter of 2018.
Dispositions

months ended September 30, 2017, FCPT raised $28.3 million in gross
proceeds at a weighted average share price of $24.29.
Credit Facility and Unsecured Note
-
At September 30, 2017 FCPT had $525 million of outstanding debt,

fixed rate notes. FCPT was undrawn on its $350 million revolving
credit facility, and had $82.9 million of available cash and cash
equivalents.
-
On October 2, 2017, FCPT announced that it had entered into a $650
million credit agreement consisting of a 5-year term loan of $400
million and a 4-year revolving credit facility of $250 million to
replace the Company’s existing bank credit facility. The recasting
extended the maturities of both the term loan and the revolving
facility by two years, and increased the Company’s weighted average
debt maturity to approximately 5.8 years. Under the terms of the
recast facility, FCPT expects to save at least $1.8 million in annual
cash interest expense due to reduced margin pricing and lower unused
capacity.
Real Estate Portfolio
As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s rental portfolio consisted of
508 restaurant properties located in 44 states. The properties are 100%
occupied under long-term, net leases with a weighted average remaining
lease term of approximately 13.2 years and an estimated portfolio
weighted average EBITDAR to Lease Rent coverage of 4.7x.
