Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On February 2, 2023, Seritage Growth Properties (the “Company”) issued a press release providing a business update on the Company’s 2022 full year and 2023 year to date disposition activity as well as an update on the Company’s corporate term loan. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

 

On February 2, 2023, the Company made a $230.0 million voluntary prepayment under its $1.6 billion Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement, dated July 31, 2018, among the Company, Seritage Growth Properties, L.P. and Berkshire Hathaway Life Insurance Company of Nebraska (as amended by amendment no. 1, dated May 5, 2020, by amendment no. 2, dated November 24, 2021, and by amendment no. 3, dated June 16, 2022, the “Term Loan Agreement”). Following the prepayment, $800.0 million remains outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement, which is the outstanding balance that the Company needed to reach in order to extend the debt maturity for two years to July 31, 2025. The prepayment will also reduce the Company's total annual interest expense related to the term loan facility by approximately $16.1 million.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
