CBL Properties Announces Satisfaction of Term Loan Extension Test

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CBL Properties (NYSE:CBL) announced today that the principal balance of its non-recourse term loan had been reduced to $668.3 million, successfully meeting the extension test to secure a one-year extension. The loan’s maturity will automatically extend from November 2025 to November 2026.

Additionally, based on current projections, CBL anticipates meeting the second required extension test, which requires a principal balance of $615 million, in 2026 through natural amortization, enabling another one-year extension to November 2027.

"We are pleased to make this announcement, which is the result of our efforts to derisk the term loan through asset sales of term loan collateral," said Stephen D. Lebovitz, Chief Executive Officer. "This strategy allowed us to retain parent company cash and reflects our disciplined approach to financial management and commitment to ensuring long-term flexibility.”
