Debt Update
Macquarie DDR Trust (ASX:MDT) today announced it has agreed terms to extend the
maturity date of the US$111.1 million (US$95.0 million, MDT share) non-recourse
commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) debt for a further 30 days to 1 October
2009.
This short-term extension will allow the Trust and CMBS special servicer of the loan
additional time to finalise documentation for a longer term extension to mid-2010, as
foreshadowed at the Trust’s annual results.
This loan is secured by 13 assets which were valued at US$182.7 million (MDT share
US$156.1 million) at 30 June 2009 and has an interest coverage ratio of approximately 2.5
times for the prior 12 months. Since December 2008 this loan has been reduced by
US$61.8 million (MDT share US$52.8 million) by applying cash earnings and selected noncore
asset sales proceeds towards repayment of the loan.
