Insights

Veris strengthens balance sheet through credit facility amendment and $85M asset sale, reducing debt and borrowing costs while advancing deleveraging strategy.

Veris Residential has made significant progress in its deleveraging strategy with two key transactions. First, the company amended its $500 million credit facility, introducing a leverage-based pricing grid that immediately reduces borrowing costs by 55% basis points, with potential for further reductions as leverage decreases. This amendment also provides greater flexibility by reducing required collateral properties from five to two.

Simultaneously, Veris completed the $85 million sale of Signature Place, applying $80 million to reduce its Term Loan from $200 million to $120 million. This aligns with the company's strategy to divest up to $500 million in non-strategic assets.

These moves directly support Veris' ambitious leverage reduction targets, aiming to decrease Net Debt to EBITDA from current levels to below 10.0x by year-end 2025 and below 9.0x by year-end 2026. The enhanced credit facility maintains its April 2027 maturity date with a one-year extension option on the Revolving Credit Facility.

For a Class A multifamily REIT, reducing leverage while maintaining operational flexibility is crucial. The transaction demonstrates management's commitment to balance sheet optimization and creates a more favorable financing structure. The substantial $80 million debt reduction represents meaningful progress toward the company's leverage targets while the improved borrowing terms enhance future financial flexibility and potentially improve funds from operations.

JERSEY CITY, N.J., July 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Veris Residential, Inc. ("Veris Residential" or the "Company") (NYSE: VRE), a forward-thinking, Northeast-focused, Class A multifamily REIT, today announced the amendment of its $500 million credit facility established in April 2024. The transaction reflects Veris Residential's continued progress in advancing its 2025 corporate plan to sell non-strategic assets and reduce leverage. It also supports the Company's multi-year balance sheet strategy, reducing borrowing costs and positioning Veris Residential to reduce Net Debt to EBITDA to below 10.0x by year-end 2025 and to below 9.0x by year-end 2026 as the Company completes the contemplated sales.

The Amended Facility package � comprising a $300 million Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolver") and a $200 million delayed-draw Term Loan (the "Term Loan") (collectively, the "Amended Facility") � introduces a leverage-based pricing grid for the Revolver, with spreads ranging from 1.25% to 1.80% over SOFR, and reduces the required number of secured properties in the collateral pool from five to two. The Amended Facility continues to mature in April 2027 and retains a one-year extension option on the Revolver.

"We are pleased to enter into this Amended Facility, which secures an initial improvement of 55 basis points in our corporate borrowing costs with potential to realize further savings that reflect our strengthening balance sheet," said Mahbod Nia, Chief Executive Officer of Veris Residential.
