Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 17, 2020 (the "Closing Date"), Steadfast Apartment REIT, Inc. (the "Company"), through the seven indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries set out in the table in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Facility Borrowers"), entered into a Master Credit Facility Agreement ("MCFA") that provides for a new Fannie Mae Credit Facility (the "Credit Facility") originated by PNC Bank, National Association (the "Facility Lender").
The information set forth under Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet  Arrangement of a Registrant.
The Credit Facility
On the Closing Date, the Facility Borrowers entered into the MCFA, a fixed rate Multifamily Note and a variable rate Multifamily Note (collectively, the "Notes") and the other Loan Documents (defined below) for the benefit of the Facility Lender. The Credit Facility provides for two tranches: (i) a fixed rate loan in the aggregate principal amount of $79,170,000 that accrues interest at 2.82% per annum; and (ii) a variable rate loan in the aggregate principal amount of $79,170,000 that accrues interest at the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.14%. If LIBOR is no longer posted through electronic transmission, is no longer available or, in the Facility Lender's determination, is no longer widely accepted or has been replaced as the index for similar financial instruments, Facility Lender will choose a new index taking into account general comparability to LIBOR and other factors, including any adjustment factor to preserve the relative economic positions of the Facility Borrowers and Facility Lender with respect to any advances made pursuant to the Credit Facility. The Facility Borrowers received $148,860,211 in net proceeds from the financings.
Advances made under the Credit Facility have a maturity date of July 1, 2030 (the "Maturity Date"), unless the Maturity Date is accelerated in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Interest only payments are payable monthly through July 1, 2025, with interest and principal payments due monthly thereafter. Monthly payments are due and payable on the first day of each month, commencing August 1, 2020.
The Facility Borrowers may voluntarily prepay all of the unpaid principal balance of the Credit Facility and all accrued interest thereon and other sums due to the Facility Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, provided the Facility Borrowers provide the Facility Lender with prior notice of such prepayment and pay a prepayment fee, all in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. The variable rate loan has a one-year lock-out on prepayment.
Advances made pursuant to the Credit Facility are secured by, among other things, the properties set out on the schedule below pursuant to a Multifamily Mortgage or Deeds of Trust or Deeds to Secure Debt (the "Mortgage"). Additionally, pursuant to an Assignment of Leases and Rents and Security Agreement ("Assignment"), each Borrower has assigned all of its rights under the existing property management agreement to the Facility Lender upon an event of default under the Loan Documents. Each note and security document is cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized. Future advances on the Credit Facility may be granted by the Facility Lender in connection with the addition of additional mortgaged properties. The Credit Facility has customary covenants and provisions relating to events of default.
The Company entered into a Guaranty (the "Guaranty", and collectively with the MCFA, the Notes and the Mortgage and Assignment, the "Loan Documents") to and for the benefit of the Facility Lender in connection with the Credit Facility. The Company absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Facility Lender the full and prompt payment and performance when due of all amounts for which a Borrower is personally liable under the Loan Agreements, in addition to all costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in enforcing such Guaranty.
The Facility Borrowers paid $633,360 in the aggregate in loan origination fees to the Facility Lender in connection with the financings. In addition, Steadfast Apartment Advisor, LLC earned a loan coordination fee of $791,700, all of which was paid in the form of shares of the Company's common stock.
