This excerpt taken from the REG 10-Q filed May 8, 2009. Objectives and Strategies For $196.7 million of the interest rate swaps, the Company continues to expect to issue new secured or unsecured debt for a term of 7 to 12 years during the period between June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2010. On April 13, 2009, the Company received a mortgage loan commitment of $106.0 million with an interest rate of 7.75% and a ten-year term which is expected to close on or before July 9, 2009. On April 16, 2009, the Company paid $20.0 million to settle and partially settle $106.0 million of its $396.7 million of interest rate swaps in place to hedge forecasted debt. For $200.0 million of the Swaps, the Company continues to expect to issue new debt for a term of 7 to 12 years during the period between March 30, 2010 and March 30, 2011. The Company continuously monitors the capital markets and evaluates its ability to issue new debt to repay maturing debt or fund its commitments. Based upon the current capital markets, the Companys current credit ratings, and the number of high quality, unencumbered properties that it owns which could collateralize borrowings, the Company expects that it will successfully issue new secured or unsecured debt to fund its obligations. However, in the current environment, interest rates on new issuances are expected to be significantly higher than on historical issuances. An increase of 1.0% in the interest rate of new debt issues above that of maturing debt would result in additional annual interest expense of $4.0 million in addition to the impact of the annual amortization that would be incurred as a result of settling the respective interest rate swaps.
