Entry into Material Definitive Agreement. Amendments to Credit Agreement and Term Loan Agreements Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement On April 14, 2026, Federal Realty OP LP (the “Partnership”) entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”), by and among the Partnership, as Borrower, the financial institutions party thereto and their permitted assignees, as Lenders, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, and the other parties thereto. The New Credit Agreement replaces that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2022 (as amended, the “Old Credit Agreement”), by and among the Partnership, as Borrower, and the financial institutions party thereto. The Old Credit Agreement consisted of a $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Old Facility”) with a maturity date of April 5, 2027. As of December 31, 2025, the Old Facility had an outstanding balance of $310.0 million. The New Credit Agreement consists of a $1.4 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “New Facility”) with a maturity date of April 12, 2030, subject to two six-month extensions at the option of the Partnership. Generally, the New Facility bears interest, at the Partnership’s option, at a rate based on (i) SOFR, or (ii) a Base Rate (each as defined therein), in each case plus an applicable margin that depends on the Partnership’s credit rating. The applicable margins for SOFR loans under the New Credit Agreement range from 62.5 basis points to 135 basis points, and the applicable margins for Base Rate loans under the New Credit Agreement range from 0 basis points to 35 basis points. Initially, the applicable margin for SOFR loans will be 72.5 basis points. Under an accordion feature, the Partnership has the option to expand the borrowing capacity under the New Facility to up to $2.0 billion. The terms of the New Credit Agreement are substantially similar to the terms of the Old Credit Agreement, except (i) as described herein and (ii) for certain immaterial amendments (the “Updated Terms”) intended to, among other things, increase the Partnership’s operating flexibility, decrease certain of the Partnership’s notice, reporting and compliance obligations and adjust certain aspects of the Partnership’s financial covenants. The New Credit Agreement contains a number of restrictions on the Partnership’s business that are similar to the restrictions contained in the Old Credit Agreement, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the Partnership’s ability to incur indebtedness, make investments, incur liens, engage in certain affiliate transactions, and engage in major transactions such as mergers. In addition, the Partnership is subject to various financial maintenance covenants, including, but not limited to, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum secured indebtedness ratio, and a minimum unencumbered leverage ratio. The New Credit Agreement also contains affirmative covenants and events of default, including, but not limited to, a cross default to the Partnership’s other indebtedness and the occurrence of a change of control. The Partnership’s failure to comply with these covenants, or the occurrence of an event of default, could result in acceleration of the Partnership’s debt and other financial obligations under the New Credit Agreement. The foregoing does not constitute a complete summary of the terms and conditions of the New Credit Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, or of the Old Credit Agreement, which was included as Exhibit 10.1 to the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 11, 2022.
