Business Context and Reporting Period
This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. on June 11, 2014. The filing details the entry into a material definitive agreement regarding the amendment of the Company's existing revolving credit facility.
Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure
The Company amended its credit facility to create an Amended Facility with an initial principal amount of $300.0 million. The structure includes:

- Interest Rates: Based on LIBOR or Base Rate plus applicable margins. Until an Investment Grade Rating is attained, LIBOR margins range from 1.30% to 1.90% for the Revolver and 1.25% to 1.85% for the Term Loan, dependent on the Leverage Ratio.
- Unused Facility Fee: Quarterly payments of 0.20% or 0.30% depending on the undrawn amount of the Revolver.
