Welltower Announces Upsizing and Maturity Extension of $6.25 Billion Senior Unsecured Line of Credit

By PR Newswire | March 10, 2026, 8:00 AM

TOLEDO, Ohio, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Welltower Inc. (NYSE: WELL) (the "Company") today announced that it has closed on an amended $6.25 billion senior unsecured revolving line of credit (the "Revolving Facility"). The amendment and upsizing extends the Company's well-staggered debt maturity profile and enhances flexibility while achieving a 15 bps improvement in pricing. Concurrent with closing, the Company repaid its existing $1 billion USD term loan and $250 million CAD term loan with cash on hand.

The closing of the Revolving Facility follows the recent revision to the Company's credit rating outlook to positive from stable by Moody's. In its outlook revision, Moody's cited Welltower's continued improvement in key credit metrics as well as the Company's financial policy of growing per share earnings through its focus on organic growth and equity-funded investments, which have led to a rapid deleveraging of the capital structure.

"The successful upsizing and extension of our line of credit further strengthens Welltower's already robust balance sheet, lowers our cost of capital, and highlights our unparalleled seniors housing growth outlook," said Tim McHugh, Welltower's Co-President and Chief Financial Officer. "We are grateful for the support of our bank group with 28 existing and 4 new financial institutions participating in the refinancing. Through this support, Welltower is well positioned with ample liquidity and historically low leverage to efficiently fund our robust capital deployment opportunities and continue delivering compounding earnings and cash flow per share growth for existing investors in any capital markets environment."

The Revolving Facility is comprised of a $4.25 billion tranche (the "Revolving A Tranche") that matures on March 6, 2030, and a $2.0 billion tranche (the "Revolving B Tranche") that matures on July 24, 2029. Each tranche may be extended for two successive six-month terms.

Based on Welltower's current credit ratings, the loans under the Revolving Facility bear interest at 67.5 basis points over SOFR and carry an annual facility fee of 12.5 basis points.

Welltower has an ability, on an uncommitted basis, to upsize the Revolving Facility by up to an additional $1.25 billion. The closing of the amendment increases the Company's total available credit facilities to approximately $7.5 billion in aggregate.
