commitments received from 33 financial institutions aggregating over $5.0
billion,” said David Simon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “This expanded
credit facility size, at a significantly lower pricing grid and a new maturity
term of up to 5 years, further enhances our already strong financial
flexibility.”
