Plymouth Industrial REIT Continues Improvement of its Capital Structure with $78 Million Refinancing of Variable Rate Debt on Chicago Portfolio

BOSTON—(July 16, 2018) Plymouth Industrial REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE American: PLYM) today announced that it has closed on a new 10-year $78.0 million loan from Transamerica Life Insurance Company with a fixed interest rate of 4.35% and secured by 18 Chicago area properties. The proceeds of the loan, together with additional working capital, were used to repay in full the Company’s $79.8 million variable rate secured term loan from GS Special Situations Group scheduled to mature in December 2019 with a floating interest rate of 310 basis points over LIBOR. The previous loan was used to partially fund Plymouth’s acquisition of a 15-property industrial portfolio in the greater Chicago area from a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs in November 2017.

Daniel Wright, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Plymouth Industrial REIT, noted, “With this refinancing, we have 80% of our total debt at fixed rates maturing over the next 5 to 10 years with a weighted average interest rate of 4.13%. The new loan also results in annual direct interest savings in excess of $600,000.”

Jeff Witherell, Plymouth’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, added, “We have made great strides in 2018 to improve our capital structure. With this refinancing and the May 2018 prepayment of our mezzanine debt through KeyBank, we have significantly reduced our cost of debt while eliminating most of our variable rate debt exposure.”
