This Form 8-K was filed by Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (the "Company") on October 10, 2013. The report details a modification to the Company's existing senior secured revolving credit facility.
Key Financial Metrics
- Credit Facility Capacity: Increased from $100.0 million to $155.0 million.

- Additional Commitments: $55.0 million added via the "Accordion Feature."

Material Changes
Effective October 10, 2013, the Company exercised the Accordion Feature of its Credit Agreement, originally entered into on May 13, 2013. This action increased the aggregate commitments by $55.0 million. No additional funds were drawn from the facility at the time of this increase; the change solely expanded available borrowing capacity.
Outlook and Management Commentary
The filing states that all other terms of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged. The increase in capacity is subject to limitations based on the appraised value of the properties forming the borrowing base. The Company did not provide specific forward-looking guidance or commentary beyond the mechanics of the credit facility expansion.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific identities of the six additional properties added to the borrowing base.
- Review the full Credit Agreement (Exhibit 10.1 to the May 17, 2013 Form 8-K) for covenants and interest rate terms.
- Confirm the current utilization rate of the facility ($60.0 million outstanding vs. $155.0 million capacity).
- Assess the impact of the new subsidiary guarantees on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.
