Does this transaction add debt to Public Storage's balance sheet?

Not immediately. PSOC had no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement at closing. The new facilities provide capacity that could be drawn for development, acquisitions, capital expenditures, repayment of debt, working capital, dividends, and repurchases, so future borrowings would increase debt if used.

How much does the new revolver cost compared with the old facility?

The press release states that borrowings under the revolver now bear interest at SOFR plus 0.650% based on current credit ratings, a reduction of 15 basis points from the prior facility. The 8-K gives a broader range of SOFR plus 0.625% to 1.35%, with margins tied to credit ratings. Facility fees on commitments range from 0.10% to 0.30%, also ratings-dependent.

Why did the company establish a commercial paper program, and how does it relate to the revolver?

The $1.0 billion commercial paper program gives the company an additional short-term, lower-cost funding source. It is backstopped by available capacity under the revolver, meaning the revolver can support repayment if market access is disrupted. Commercial paper notes rank pari passu with the company's other senior unsecured debt and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Public Storage.

When will the delayed draw term loan be available, and when does it mature?

The $500 million DDTL can be drawn in up to four advances through approximately December 22, 2026, which is 180 days after closing. It matures June 25, 2031. A ticking fee of 0.10% per annum applies to the undrawn portion beginning 90 days after closing until the commitments end or expire.

What covenants and risks should investors monitor under the new credit agreement?

The agreement requires compliance with maximum consolidated total leverage, maximum secured leverage, maximum unsecured asset coverage (in the sense of the test's defined terms), and minimum debt service coverage ratios. It also includes restrictions on mergers and on sales of all or substantially all assets, along with customary events of default such as cross-default to other material debt, bankruptcy events, unpaid judgments, ERISA events, and certain changes of control. Investors should review Exhibit 10.1 for the specific covenant thresholds, which are not disclosed in the filing.

01—Abstract

Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed June 25, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

Public Storage (PSA) announced on June 25, 2026 that its subsidiary, Public Storage Operating Company (PSOC), entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Agent.

The agreement provides a $3.0 billion^a senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which replaces the prior $1.5 billion revolver in its entirety, and a $500 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan (DDTL). The company guarantees PSOC's obligations. As of the closing date, PSOC had no outstanding borrowings under the facility.

The company also established a $1.0 billion^b unsecured commercial paper program, backstopped by capacity under the revolver, with notes ranking pari passu with its other senior unsecured debt. The main investor takeaways are increased liquidity and lower pricing. Revolver borrowings are priced at SOFR plus 0.625%-1.35% depending on credit rating, and the company states that the current spread of SOFR plus 0.650% is 15 basis points lower than under the prior facility.

The revolver matures June 25, 2030, with extension options to 2031, and the DDTL matures June 25, 2031. An accordion feature allows up to an additional $1.5 billion^c (the 8-K) or $2 billion (the press release) in commitments, a discrepancy investors should note. Management links the transactions to its PS4.0 strategy, citing funding for acquisitions, development, redevelopment, and lending.

The agreement includes customary financial covenants (leverage, secured leverage, unsecured asset coverage, and debt service coverage), along with standard events of default, including cross-default and change-of-control provisions. Because the revolver is undrawn at closing and the new commercial paper program is backstopped by it, the near-term impact is primarily on financial flexibility and cost of capital rather than on existing leverage.

02—Key points

Key Highlights

Replaced the $1.5 billion revolver (scheduled to mature June 12, 2027) with a new $3.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility maturing June 25, 2030, extendable to June 25, 2031.
Added a $500 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan, drawable in up to four advances through roughly December 22, 2026, maturing June 25, 2031.
Established a $1.0 billion unsecured commercial paper program, backstopped by revolver capacity, with notes guaranteed by Public Storage.
Revolver pricing is SOFR plus 0.650% at current credit ratings, which management says is 15 basis points lower than the prior facility; pricing is ratings-based and can move in either direction.
Accordion feature allows commitment increases or additional term loans of up to $1.5 billion per the 8-K, or $2 billion per the press release; the two documents differ on this figure.
No borrowings were outstanding under the credit agreement at closing, so the transaction does not add immediate leverage.
The agreement contains financial covenants, including leverage, secured leverage, unsecured asset coverage, and debt service coverage tests, plus customary change-of-control and cross-default provisions.
