1. Basis of Presentation
Sun Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and all wholly-owned or majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, including Sun Communities Operating Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), Sun Home Services, Inc. ("SHS") and Safe Harbor Marinas, LLC ("Safe Harbor") are referred to herein as the "Company," "us," "we," and "our."
We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). FASB establishes accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which we follow to ensure that we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information and in accordance with GAAP. We present interim disclosures and certain information and footnote disclosures as required by SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, including adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2022 (our "2021 Annual Report"). These statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in our 2021 Annual Report.

7. Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
The Operating Partnership
We consolidate the Operating Partnership under the guidance set forth in ASC 810 "Consolidation." We evaluated whether the Operating Partnership met the criteria for classification as a variable interest entity ("VIE") or, alternatively, as a voting interest entity and concluded that the Operating Partnership met the criteria of a VIE. Our significant asset is our investment in the Operating Partnership, and consequently, substantially all of our assets and liabilities represent those assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership.

Unsecured Debt
Senior Unsecured Notes
In October 2021, the Operating Partnership issued $450.0 million of senior unsecured notes with an interest rate of 2.3 percent and a -year term, due November 1, 2028 (the "2028 Notes").

The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $595.5 million after deducting underwriters' discounts and estimated offering expenses. The proceeds were used to pay down borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
The total outstanding balance of senior unsecured notes was $1.2 billion at March 31, 2022. This balance is recorded in the Unsecured debt line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Line of Credit
In June 2021, we entered into a senior credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with certain lenders. The Credit Agreement combined and replaced our prior $750.0 million credit facility, which was scheduled to mature on May 21, 2023, (the "A&R Facility"), and the $1.8 billion credit facility between Safe Harbor and certain lenders, which was scheduled to mature on October 11, 2024 (the "Safe Harbor Facility"). The Safe Harbor Facility was terminated in connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement. We repaid all amounts due and outstanding under the Safe Harbor Facility on or prior to the effective date. We recognized a Loss on extinguishment of debt in our Consolidated Statement of Operations related to the termination of the A&R Facility and the Safe Harbor Facility of $0.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, we may borrow up to $2.0 billion under a revolving loan (the "Senior Credit Facility"). The Senior Credit Facility is available to fund all of the Company's business, including its marina business conducted by Safe Harbor. The Credit Agreement also permits, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, additional borrowings (with the consent of the lenders) in an amount not to exceed $1.0 billion with the option to treat all, or a portion, of such additional funds as an incremental term loan.
The Senior Credit Facility has a four-year term ending June 14, 2025, and, at our option, the maturity date may be extended for two additional six-month periods, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. However, the maturity date with respect to $500.0 million of available borrowing under the Senior Credit Facility is October 11, 2024, which, under the terms of the Credit Agreement, may not be extended. The Senior Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate based on the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or BBSY rate, plus a margin that is determined based on the Company's credit ratings calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement, which can range from 0.725 percent to 1.4 percent. As of March 31, 2022, the margin based on our credit ratings was 0.85 percent on the Senior Credit Facility.
At the lenders' option, the Senior Credit Facility will become immediately due and payable upon an event of default under the Credit Agreement. We had $1.4 billion and $1.0 billion of borrowings on the Senior Credit Facility as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Of the total amount borrowed as of March 31, 2022, $1.2 billion is scheduled to mature on June 14, 2025 and $203.0 million is scheduled to mature October 11, 2024. These balances are recorded in Unsecured debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Senior Credit Facility provides us with the ability to issue letters of credit. Our issuance of letters of credit does not increase our borrowings outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility, but does reduce the borrowing amount available. We had $2.2 million of outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Refer to Note 19, "Subsequent Events," for information regarding the amendment of our Senior Credit Facility completed after March 31, 2022.
Bridge Loan Termination
On March 31, 2022, we terminated our commitment letter with Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. ("Citigroup"), pursuant to which, Citigroup (on behalf of its affiliates), committed to lend us up to £950.0 million, or approximately $1.2 billion converted at the March 31, 2022 exchange rate (the "Bridge Loan"). As of the date of termination, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Bridge Loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt in our Consolidated Statement of Operations of $0.3 million related to the termination of the Bridge Loan.
Unsecured Term Loan
In October 2019, we assumed a term loan facility, in the amount of $58.0 million in relation to an acquisition. The term loan has a four-year term ending October 29, 2023, and bears interest at a floating rate based on the Eurodollar rate or Prime rate plus a margin ranging from 1.20 percent to 2.05 percent. Effective July 1, 2021, the agreement was amended to release the associated collateral. The amendment extended the term loan facility maturity date to October 29, 2025 and adjusted the interest rate margin to a range from 0.8 percent to 1.6 percent. As of March 31, 2022, the margin was 0.95 percent. The outstanding balance was $28.4 million at March 31, 2022 and $31.6 million at December 31, 2021. These balances are recorded in Unsecured debt and Secured debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

The Preferred Equity - Sun NG Resorts carries a preferred rate of return of 6.0 percent per annum. The Preferred Equity - Sun NG Resorts has a -year term ending June 1, 2025 and can be redeemed in the fourth quarter of 2024 at the holders' option. The Preferred Equity - Sun NG Resorts as of March 31, 2022 was $35.2 million. These balances are recorded within the Unsecured debt line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Preferred OP Units - mandatorily redeemable
Preferred OP units at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include $34.7 million of Aspen preferred OP units issued by the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2022, these units are convertible indirectly into 393,724 shares of our common stock.
In January 2020, we amended the Operating Partnership's partnership agreement. The amendment extended the automatic redemption date and reduced the annual distribution rate for 270,000 of the Aspen preferred OP units (the "Extended Units"). Subject to certain limitations, at any time prior to January 1, 2024 (or prior to January 1, 2034 with respect to the Extended Units), the holder of each Aspen preferred OP unit at its option may convert such Aspen preferred OP unit into: (a) if the average closing price of our common stock for the preceding ten trading days is $68.00 per share or less, 0.397 common OP units; or (b) if the ten-day average closing price is greater than $68.00 per share, the number of common OP units is determined by dividing (i) the sum of (A) $27.00 plus (B) 25.0 percent of the amount by which the ten-day average closing price exceeds $68.00 per share, by (ii) the ten-day average closing price. The current preferred distribution rate is 3.8 percent on the Extended Units and 6.5 percent on all other Aspen preferred OP units. On January 2, 2024 (or January 2, 2034 with respect to the Extended Units), we are required to redeem for cash all Aspen preferred OP units that have not been converted to common OP units. As of March 31, 2022, 270,000 of the Extended Units and 1,013,819 other Aspen preferred units were outstanding. These balances are recorded within the Unsecured debt line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Covenants
The mortgage term loans, senior unsecured notes and Senior Credit Facility are subject to various financial and other covenants. The most restrictive covenants are pursuant to (a) the terms of the Senior Credit Facility, which contains a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, maximum leverage ratio, distribution ratio and variable rate indebtedness and (b) senior unsecured notes, which contain a total debt to total assets, secured debt to total assets, consolidated income available for debt service to debt service and unencumbered total asset value to unsecured debt covenants. At March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all covenants.
In addition, certain of our subsidiary borrowers own properties that secure loans. These subsidiaries are consolidated within our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, however, each of these subsidiaries' assets and credit are not available to satisfy our debts and other obligations, and any of our other subsidiaries or any other person or entity.
Refer to Note 19, "Subsequent Events," for information regarding Debt and line of credit activities completed after March 31, 2022.

We did not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the forward purchaser or its affiliates. We intend to use the net proceeds, if any, received upon the future settlement of the forward sale agreements, to fund a portion of the purchase price for our acquisition of Tiger Topco 1 Limited (together with its subsidiaries, "Park Holidays,") to repay borrowings outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility, to fund possible future acquisitions of properties and / or for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The sales agents and forward sellers are entitled to compensation in an agreed amount not to exceed 2.0 percent of the gross price per share for any shares sold under the December 2021 Sales Agreement. We simultaneously terminated our prior sales agreement upon entering into the December 2021 Sales Agreement.

We believe granting equity awards will provide certain executives, key employees and directors additional incentives to promote our financial success and promote employee and director retention by providing an opportunity to acquire or increase the direct proprietary interest of those individuals in our operations and future. Time based awards for directors generally vest over three years. Time based awards for key employees and executives generally vest over five years. Market condition awards for the executives generally vest after three years.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, shares were granted as follows:

11. Segment Reporting
ASC Topic 280, "Segment Reporting" ("ASC 280"), establishes standards for the way the business enterprises report information about operating segments in its financial statements. As described in Note 1, "Basis of Presentation," we analyze our operating results through the following segments: (i) Manufactured home ("MH") communities, (ii) Recreational vehicle ("RV") resorts and (iii) Marina.
The MH segment owns, operates, develops, or has an interest in, a portfolio of MH communities throughout the U.S. and the UK, and is in the business of acquiring, operating and developing ground up MH communities to provide affordable housing solutions to residents. The MH segment also provides manufactured home sales and leasing services to tenants and prospective tenants of our communities.
The RV segment owns, operates, develops, or has an interest in, a portfolio of RV resorts and is in the business of acquiring, operating and developing ground up RV resorts throughout the U.S. and in Canada. It also provides leasing services for vacation rentals within the RV resorts.
The Marina segment owns, operates, and develops marinas, and is in the business of acquiring and operating marinas throughout the U.S., with the majority of such marinas concentrated in coastal regions, and others located in various inland regions and Puerto Rico.
Properties containing both MH and RV sites are classified to a segment based on the predominant site counts at the properties.

12. Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") pursuant to Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"). In order for us to qualify as a REIT, at least 95 percent of our gross income in any year must be derived from qualifying sources. In addition, a REIT must distribute annually at least 90 percent of its REIT taxable income (calculated without any deduction for dividends paid and excluding capital gain) to its shareholders and meet other tests.
Qualification as a REIT involves the satisfaction of numerous requirements (on an annual and quarterly basis) established under highly technical and complex Code provisions for which there are limited judicial or administrative interpretations and involves the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control. In addition, frequent changes occur in the area of REIT taxation, which requires us to continually monitor our tax status. We analyzed the various REIT tests and confirmed that we continued to qualify as a REIT for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to United States ("U.S.") federal income taxes at the corporate level on the ordinary taxable income we distribute to our shareholders as dividends. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, our taxable income could be subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates. Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local income taxes as well as U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income. In addition, taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through taxable REIT subsidiaries is subject to federal, state and local income taxes. We are also subject to local income taxes in Canada and Puerto Rico due to certain properties located in Canada and one located in Puerto Rico. We do not provide for withholding taxes on our undistributed earnings from our Canadian subsidiaries as they are reinvested and will continue to be reinvested indefinitely outside of the U.S. However, we are subject to Australian withholding taxes on distributions from our investment in Ingenia Communities Group.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the basis of such assets and liabilities as measured by tax laws. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance to the amount where realization is more likely than not assured after considering all available evidence. Our temporary differences primarily relate to net operating loss carryforwards, and depreciation and basis differences between tax and GAAP. Our deferred tax assets that have a full valuation allowance relate to our taxable REIT subsidiaries. Net deferred tax liabilities of $20.7 million for Canadian entities have been recorded in relation to corporate entities and included in Other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We had no U.S. federal deferred tax liabilities as of March 31, 2022. U.S. federal deferred tax liabilities of $0.1 million have been recorded and included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2021.
We had no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2022 and 2021. We do not expect significant changes in tax positions that would result in unrecognized tax benefits within one year of March 31, 2022.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a current tax expense for federal, state and Canadian income taxes as well as Australian withholding taxes of $1.3 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded a current tax benefit for federal, state and Canadian income taxes of $0.2 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded a deferred tax benefit of $0.1 million.
13. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period on a basic and diluted basis. We calculate diluted earnings per share using the more dilutive of the treasury stock method and the two-class method for stock option and restricted common shares, the treasury stock method for forward equity sales and the if converted method for convertible units.
From time to time, we enter into forward equity sales agreements, which are discussed in Note 9, "Equity and Temporary Equity." We considered the potential dilution resulting from the forward equity sales agreements on the earnings per share calculations. At inception, the agreements do not have an effect on the computation of basic earnings per share as no shares are delivered unless and until there is a physical settlement. Common shares issued upon the physical settlement of the forward equity sales agreements, weighted for the period these common shares are outstanding, are included in the denominator of basic earnings per share. To determine the dilution resulting from the forward equity sales agreements during the period of time prior to settlement, we calculate the number of weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted.
24
SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Our potentially dilutive securities include our potential common shares related to our forward equity offerings, our unvested restricted common shares, and our Operating Partnership outstanding common OP units, Series A-1 preferred OP units, Series A-3 preferred OP units, Series C preferred OP units, Series D preferred OP units, Series E preferred OP units, Series F preferred OP units, Series G preferred OP units, Series H preferred OP units, Series I preferred OP units, Series J preferred OP units and Aspen preferred OP Units, which, if converted or exercised, may impact dilution.
Diluted earnings per share considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except when the potential common shares have an antidilutive effect. Our unvested restricted stock common shares contain rights to receive non-forfeitable distributions and participate equally with common stock with respect to distributions issued or declared, and thus, are participating securities, requiring the two-class method of computing earnings per share. In calculating the two-class method, undistributed earnings are allocated to both common shares and participating securities based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The two-class method determines earnings per share by (1) dividing the sum of distributed earnings allocated to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period; and (2) dividing the sum of distributed earnings allocated to participating securities and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities by the weighted average number of shares of participating securities for the period. The remaining potentially dilutive common shares do not contain rights to distributions and are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

14. Derivative Financial Instruments
Our objective and strategy in using interest rate derivatives is to manage exposure to interest rate movements, thereby minimizing the effect of interest rate changes and the effect they could have on future cash outflows (forecasted interest payments) on a forecasted issuance of long-term debt. Treasury locks are used to accomplish this objective. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
We have designated the treasury lock contracts as cash flow hedges under ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging." The risk being hedged is the interest rate risk related to forecasted transactions and the benchmark interest rate used is the on-the-run 10-year U.S. Treasury rate. As of March 31, 2022, we had four Treasury lock contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $600.0 million that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. The unrealized gains or losses on the Treasury lock contracts were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income within the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and will be reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. These unrealized gains or losses will be amortized as reduction or increase to Interest expense within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following table presents the gross fair value amounts of our derivative financial instruments and the associated notional amounts (in millions):
March 31, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(1)Included within Other Assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of March 31, 2022, the net accumulated gain on our interest rate derivatives before tax effect was $25.6 million. We estimate that $3.4 million will be reclassified as a reduction to interest expense over the next 12 months. The maximum length of time for which we will hedge our exposure to the variability in future cash flows is 10 years.
Refer to Note 15, "Fair Value of Financial Instruments," for additional information related to the fair value methodology used for derivative financial instruments.

15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, marketable securities, notes and other receivables, derivatives assets, debt, warrant, and other liabilities. We utilize fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures, pursuant to ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures." The following methods and assumptions were used in order to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," requires disclosure regarding determination of fair value for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy under which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of observable or unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumption. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 - Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets that we have the ability to access;
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, etc.) in active markets or can be corroborated by observable market data; and
Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. The unobservable inputs reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use.

The following methods and assumptions were used in order to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The carrying values of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate their fair market values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. These are classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities held by us and accounted for under ASC 321 "Investments - Equity Securities" are measured at fair value. Any change in fair value is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in Gain / (loss) on Remeasurement of marketable securities in accordance with ASU 2016-01 "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities." The fair value is measured by the quoted unadjusted share price which is readily available in active markets (Level 1).

Notes receivable from real estate developers and operators are recorded at fair value and are measured using model-derived indicative pricing using primarily unobservable inputs including interest rates and counterparty performance (Level 3). The carrying values of the notes generally approximate their fair market values either due to the nature of the note and / or the note being secured by underlying collateral and / or personal guarantees. Refer to Note 4, "Notes and Other Receivables," for additional information.
Derivative Assets- Interest Rate Derivatives
Interest rate derivatives are recorded at fair value and consist of Treasury locks. The fair value of the Treasury lock is measured using observable inputs based on the 10-year Treasury note rate (Level 2).
Secured Debt
Secured debt consists primarily of our mortgage term loans. The fair value of mortgage term loans is based on the estimates of management and on rates currently quoted, rates currently prevailing for comparable loans and instruments of comparable maturities (Level 2). Refer to Note 8, "Debt and Line of Credit," for additional information.

Unsecured Debt
Senior unsecured notes - the fair value of senior unsecured notes is based on the estimates of management and on rates currently quoted, rates currently prevailing for comparable loans and instruments of comparable maturities (Level 2). Refer to Note 8, "Debt and Line of Credit," for additional information.
Line of credit and other unsecured debt - consists primarily of our Senior Credit Facility. We have variable rates on our Senior Credit Facility. The fair value of the debt with variable rates approximates carrying value as the interest rates of these amounts approximate market rates. The estimated fair value of our indebtedness as of March 31, 2022 approximated its gross carrying value.
Other Financial Liabilities
We estimate the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities based on valuation models using significant unobservable inputs that generally consider discounting of future cash flows using market interest rates and adjusting for non-performance risk over the remaining term of the liability (Level 3).
Level 3 Reconciliation, Measurements and Transfers
We review the fair value hierarchy classifications each reporting period. Changes in the observability of the valuation attributes may result in a reclassification of certain financial assets or liabilities. Such reclassifications are reported as transfers in and out of Level 3 at the beginning fair value for the reporting period in which the changes occur. Availability of secondary market activity and consistency of pricing from third-party sources impacts our ability to classify securities as Level 2 or Level 3. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
The following table summarizes changes to our financial instruments carried at fair value and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the three months ended March 31, 2022 (in millions):

The balance at December 31, 2021 includes $8.9 million related to an acquisition in the marina segment that was previously included in Other Liabilities.
Although we have determined the estimated fair value amounts using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop fair value estimates.

18. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, "Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity." This update simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the models that require separation of a cash conversion or beneficial conversion feature from the host contract. Under the amended guidance, a convertible debt instrument is treated as one liability accounted for at its amortized cost and convertible preferred stock is considered one equity instrument accounted for at its historical cost, unless (a) there are other features that require bifurcation as a derivative, or (b) convertible debt was issued at a substantial premium. This update also eliminates several triggers for derivative accounting, including a requirement to settle certain contracts by delivering registered shares. Additionally, this update provides clarifications to improve the consistency of earnings per share (EPS) calculations. We adopted the ASU on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this ASU did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting," which provides optional guidance for accounting for contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The provisions of this standard are available for election through December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, we do not expect the reference rate reform will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements as the majority of our debt has fixed interest rates. Refer to Note 19, "Subsequent Events," for information regarding the amendment of our Senior Credit Facility, now based on SOFR after amendment, completed after March 31, 2022. amendment.
19. Subsequent Events
Acquisitions
Subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2022, we completed our previously announced acquisition of Park Holidays in the UK for £950 million (or approximately $1.2 billion). As consideration for the acquisition, we (i) issued an aggregate of 186,044 shares of our common stock with a value of approximately $34.0 million as of the closing to certain individual sellers who are also members of Park Holidays' senior management team, and (ii) paid the remainder of the purchase price in cash.

Senior Credit Facility Amendment
On April 7, 2022, in connection with the closing of the Park Holidays acquisition, the Operating Partnership as borrower, and Sun Communities, Inc., as guarantor, and certain lenders entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Other Loan Documents (the "Credit Facility Amendment"), which amended our Senior Credit Facility.
33
SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
The Credit Facility Amendment increases the aggregate amount of our Senior Credit Facility to $4.2 billion with the ability to upsize the total borrowings by an additional $800 million, subject to certain conditions. The increased aggregate amount under the Senior Credit Facility consists of the following: (a) a revolving loan in an amount up to $3.05 billion and (b) a term loan facility of $1.15 billion, with the ability to draw funds from the combined facilities in U.S. dollars, Pounds sterling, Euros, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars, subject to certain limitations. The Credit Facility Amendment extends the maturity date of the revolving loan facility to April 7, 2027, assuming the Operating Partnership's exercise of each of its two six-month extension options and, further, the Credit Facility Amendment also extends the maturity date of the term loan facility to April 7, 2025, which may not be extended. Prior to the amendment, the Senior Credit Facility permitted aggregate borrowings of up to $2.0 billion, with an accordion feature that allowed for additional commitments of up to $1.0 billion, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
The Senior Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate based on Adjusted Term SOFR, the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate, the Daily RFR Rate, the Australian Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate (BBSY), the Daily SONIA Rate or the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, as applicable, plus, in all cases, a margin, which can range from 0.725 percent to 1.6 percent, subject to certain adjustments. As of March 31, 2022, the margin based on our credit ratings would have been 0.85 percent on the revolving loan facility and 0.95 percent on the term loan facility.
Senior Unsecured Notes
On April 12, 2022, the Operating Partnership issued $600.0 million of senior unsecured notes with an interest rate of 4.2 percent and a 10-year term, due April 15, 2032 (the "2032 Notes"). The net proceeds from the offering were $592.3 million after deducting underwriters' discounts and estimated offering expenses. We used the net proceeds from the offering to repay borrowings outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility. In connection with the 2032 Notes issuance, we settled four 10-year Treasury rate locks totaling $600.0 million and received a settlement payment of $35.3 million. The balance is included in the Accumulated other comprehensive income in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and will be amortized as a reduction of interest expense on a straight line basis over the 10-year term of the hedged transaction.
Equity Transactions
On April 15, 2022, we settled forward sale agreements with respect to 1,200,000 shares of common stock under our at the market offering program. We also settled forward sale agreements with respect to 4,025,000 shares of common stock under the November 2021 Forward Sale Agreements related to an underwritten registered public offering. The aggregate net proceeds from the settlement of these forward sale agreements was $934.9 million. We used the net proceeds to repay borrowings outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility.
We have evaluated our Consolidated Financial Statements for subsequent events through the date that this Form 10-Q was issued.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes, along with our 2021 Annual Report.
OVERVIEW
We are a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT. As of March 31, 2022, we owned and operated or held an interest in a portfolio of 603 developed properties located in 39 states throughout the United States, Ontario, Canada, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom including 283 MH communities, 161 RV resorts, 31 properties containing both MH and RV sites, and 128 marinas. We have been in the business of acquiring, operating, developing and expanding MH communities and RV resorts since 1975 and marinas since 2020. We lease individual sites with utilities access for placement of manufactured homes, RVs or boats to our customers. We are also engaged in the marketing, selling and leasing of new and pre-owned homes to current and future residents in our MH communities. The Rental Program operations within our MH communities support and enhance our occupancy levels, property performance and cash flows.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We have identified significant accounting policies that, as a result of the judgments, uncertainties and complexities of the underlying accounting standards and operations involved could result in material changes to our financial condition or results of operations under different conditions or using different assumptions. Details regarding significant accounting policies are described fully in our 2021 Annual Report.
35
SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to the results reported in accordance with GAAP in our "Results of Operations" below, we have provided information regarding net operating income ("NOI") and funds from operations ("FFO") as supplemental performance measures. We believe NOI and FFO are appropriate measures given their wide use by and relevance to investors and analysts following the real estate industry. NOI provides a measure of rental operations and does not factor in depreciation, amortization and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses. FFO, reflecting the assumption that real estate values rise or fall with market conditions, principally adjusts for the effects of GAAP depreciation / amortization of real estate assets. In addition, NOI and FFO are commonly used in various ratios, pricing multiples / yields and returns and valuation calculations used to measure financial position, performance and value.
NOI is derived from operating revenues minus property operating expenses and real estate taxes. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. We use NOI as a key measure when evaluating performance and growth of particular properties and / or groups of properties. The principal limitation of NOI is that it excludes depreciation, amortization, interest expense and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses, all of which are significant costs. Therefore, NOI is a measure of the operating performance of our properties rather than of the Company overall.
We believe that GAAP net income (loss) is the most directly comparable measure to NOI. NOI should not be considered to be an alternative to GAAP net income (loss) as an indication of our financial performance or GAAP cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Because of the inclusion of items such as interest, depreciation and amortization, the use of GAAP net income (loss) as a performance measure is limited as these items may not accurately reflect the actual change in market value of a property, in the case of depreciation and in the case of interest, may not necessarily be linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset, as it is often incurred at a parent company level and not at a property level.
FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as GAAP net income (loss), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, real estate related impairments, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. By excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, impairment and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs, providing perspective not readily apparent from GAAP net income (loss). Management believes the use of FFO has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. We also use FFO excluding certain gain and loss items that management considers unrelated to the operational and financial performance of our core business ("Core FFO"). We believe that Core FFO provides enhanced comparability for investor evaluations of period-over-period results.
We believe that GAAP net income (loss) is the most directly comparable measure to FFO. The principal limitation of FFO is that it does not replace GAAP net income (loss) as a performance measure or GAAP cash flow from operations as a liquidity measure. Because FFO excludes significant economic components of GAAP net income (loss) including depreciation and amortization, FFO should be used as a supplement to GAAP net income (loss) and not as an alternative to it. Furthermore, FFO is not intended as a measure of a REIT's ability to meet debt principal repayments and other cash requirements, nor as a measure of working capital. FFO is calculated in accordance with our interpretation of standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that interpret the NAREIT definition differently.

Seasonality of Revenue
The RV and marina industries are seasonal in nature, and the results of operations in any one period may not be indicative of results in future periods.
In the RV segment, certain properties maintain higher occupancy during the summer months, while other properties maintain higher occupancy during the winter months. Based on the location of our properties with transient RV sites, our portfolio generally produces higher revenues between April and September than between October and March. Real property - transient revenue is included in RV segment revenue. As of March 31, 2022, we recognized $42.7 million of Real property - transient revenue in the first quarter. Real property - transient revenue was $266.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. In 2021, Real property - transient revenue was recognized 11.9 percent in the first quarter, 27.3 percent in the second quarter, 44.9 percent in the third quarter and 15.9 percent in the fourth quarter.
In the marina segment, demand for wet slip storage increases during the summer months as customers contract for the summer boating season, which also drives non-storage revenue streams such as service, fuel and on-premises restaurants or convenience stores. Demand for dry storage increases during the winter season as seasonal weather patterns require boat owners to store their vessels on dry docks and within covered racks. As of March 31, 2022, we recognized $62.4 million of seasonal Real property revenue in the first quarter. Seasonal Real property revenue was $246.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. In 2021, Seasonal Real property revenue was recognized 17.7 percent in the first quarter, 25.0 percent in the second quarter, 29.9 percent in the third quarter and 27.4 percent in the fourth quarter.

Real Property Operations - Same Property
A key management tool used when evaluating performance and growth of our properties is a comparison of the Same Property portfolio. Same Property refers to properties that we have owned for at least the preceding year, exclusive of properties recently completed or under construction, and other properties as determined by management. The Same Property data may change from time-to-time depending on acquisitions, dispositions, management discretion, significant transactions or unique situations. In order to evaluate the growth of the Same Property portfolio, management has classified certain items differently than our GAAP statements. The reclassification difference between our GAAP statements and our Same Property portfolio is the reclassification of utility revenues from real property revenue to operating expenses. A significant portion of our utility charges are re-billed to our residents.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Short-term Liquidity
Our principal short-term liquidity demands have historically been, and are expected to continue to be, distributions to our shareholders and the unit holders of the Operating Partnership, property acquisitions, development and expansion of our properties, capital improvement of our properties, the purchase of new and pre-owned homes, and debt repayment. We intend to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through available cash balances, cash flows generated from operations, draws on our Senior Credit Facility, and the use of debt and equity offerings under our shelf registration statement. Refer to Note 8, "Debt and Line of Credit," and Note 9, "Equity and Temporary Equity," in our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
We also intend to continue to strengthen our capital and liquidity positions by focusing on our core fundamentals, which are generating positive cash flows from operations, maintaining appropriate debt levels and leverage ratios, and controlling overhead costs. We take a disciplined approach to selecting the optimal mix of financing sources to meet our liquidity demands and minimize our overall cost of capital. In June 2021, we received investment grade ratings of BBB and Baa3 with a stable outlook from S&P Global and Moody's, respectively. We plan on continuing to leverage this enhanced strength in the credit markets to utilize a greater proportion of unsecured debt to lower our cost of capital and increase our financial flexibility.
Acquisitions
Subject to market conditions, we intend to continue to identify opportunities to expand our development pipeline and acquire existing properties. We finance acquisitions through available cash, secured financing, draws on our Senior Credit Facility, the assumption of existing debt on properties and the issuance of debt and equity securities. We will continue to evaluate acquisition opportunities that meet our criteria. Refer to Note 3, "Real Estate Acquisitions and Dispositions," in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding recent property acquisitions.
Subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2022, we completed our previously announced acquisition of Park Holidays. The acquisition values Park Holidays at an enterprise value of £950 million (or approximately $1.2 billion). As consideration for the acquisition, we (a) issued an aggregate of 186,044 shares of our common stock with a value of approximately $34.0 million as of the closing to certain individual sellers who are also members of Park Holidays' senior management, and (b) paid the remainder of the purchase price in cash.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures include expansion sites and development construction costs, recurring capital expenditures, lot modifications, growth projects, acquisition-related capital expenditures, rental home purchases and rebranding costs.
Our capital expenditure activity is summarized as follows (in millions):

Expansion and development expenditures - consist primarily of construction costs such as roads, activities and amenities, and costs necessary to complete home and RV site improvements, such as driveways, sidewalks and landscaping at our MH communities and RV resorts. Expenditures also include costs to rebuild after damage has been incurred at MH, RV or marina properties, and research and development.

SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.
Recurring capital expenditures - relate to our continued commitment to the upkeep of our MH and RV properties and include items such as dredging, dock repairs and improvements, and equipment maintenance and upgrades related to our marinas.
Lot modification capital expenditures - are incurred to modify the foundational structures required to set a new home after a previous home has been removed. These expenditures are necessary to create a revenue stream from a new site renter and often improve the quality of the community. Other lot modification expenditures include land improvements added to annual RV sites to aid in the conversion of transient RV guests to annual contracts.
Growth projects - consist of revenue generating or expense reducing activities at MH communities, RV resorts and marinas. This includes, but is not limited to, utility efficiency and renewable energy projects, site, slip or amenity upgrades such as the addition of a garage, shed or boat lift, and other special capital projects that substantiate an incremental rental increase.
Acquisition-related capital expenditures - consist of capital improvements identified during due diligence that are necessary to bring our communities, resorts, and marinas up to our operating standards. These include items such as: upgrading clubhouses; landscaping; new street light systems; new mail delivery systems; pool renovation including larger decks, heaters, and furniture; new maintenance facilities; lot modifications; and new signage.
Rental program - investment in the acquisition of homes intended for the Rental Program and the purchase of vacation rental homes at our RV resorts. Expenditures for these investments depend upon the condition of the markets for repossessions and new home sales, rental homes and vacation rental homes.
Rebranding cost - includes new signage at our RV resorts and costs of building an RV mobile application and updated website.
Cash Flow Activities
Our cash flow activities are summarized as follows (in millions):
Three Months Ended | |||||||||||
March 31, 2022 | March 31, 2021 | ||||||||||
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities | $ | 225.7 | $ | 220.5 | |||||||
Net Cash Used for Investing Activities | $ | (484.2) | $ | (285.9) | |||||||
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities | $ | 282.9 | $ | 93.0 | |||||||
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash increased by $24.4 million from $78.2 million as of December 31, 2021, to $102.6 million as of March 31, 2022.
Operating activities - Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $5.2 million to $225.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $220.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase was driven by improved operating performance at our MH, RV and marina properties.
Our net cash flows provided by operating activities from continuing operations may be adversely impacted by, among other things: (a) the market and economic conditions in our current markets generally, and specifically in the metropolitan areas of our current markets; (b) lower occupancy and rental rates of our properties; (c) increased operating costs, such as wage and benefit costs, insurance premiums, real estate taxes and utilities, that cannot be passed on to our tenants; (d) decreased sales of manufactured homes; (e) current volatility in economic conditions and the financial markets; and (f) the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. See "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our 2021 Annual Report.
Investing activities - Net cash used for investing activities increased by $198.3 million to $484.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $285.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in Net cash used for investing activities was primarily driven by an increase in cash deployed to acquire new properties, capital expenditure activity, and issuance of notes and other receivables. Refer to the consolidated statements of Cash Flow for detail on the net cash used on investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Refer to Note 3, "Real Estate Acquisitions and Dispositions," and Note 4.

Financing activities - Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $189.9 million to $282.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $93.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in Net cash provided by financing activities was primarily driven by a decrease in payments, and an increase in borrowings, under our Senior Credit Facility, and a decrease in proceeds due to a public equity offering during the three months ended March 31, 2021 that did not exist during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Refer to the consolidated statements of Cash Flow for detail on the net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Refer to Note 8, "Debt and Line of Credit," and Note 9, "Equity and Temporary Equity," in our accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Equity and Debt Activity
Public Equity Offerings
In November 2021, we entered into the November 2021 Forward Sale Agreements in connection with an underwritten registered public offering of 4,025,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $185.00. We did not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the forward purchaser or its affiliates. This forward sale agreement was not settled as of March 31, 2022.
At the Market Offering Sales Agreement
In December 2021, we entered into the December 2021 Sales Agreement, with certain sales agents and forward sellers pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate gross sales price of $1.25 billion of our common stock through the sales agents, acting as our sales agents or, if applicable, as forward sellers, or directly to the sales agents as principals for their own accounts. We simultaneously terminated our existing sales agreement upon entering into the December 2021 Sales Agreement.
We entered into forward sales agreements with respect to 600,503 shares of common stock under our at the market offering program for $107.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. We also entered into forward sale agreements with respect to 1,820,109 shares of common stock under our at the market offering program for $356.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. None of these forward sale agreements was settled as of March 31, 2022.
Settlement of Forward Sale Agreements
Subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2022, on April 15, 2022, we settled forward sale agreements with respect to 1,200,000 shares of common stock under our at the market offering program. We also settled forward sale agreements with respect to 4,025,000 shares of common stock under the November 2021 Forward Sale Agreements. The aggregate net proceeds from the settlement of these forward sale agreements was $934.9 million. We used the net proceeds to repay borrowings outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility. Refer to Note 19, "Subsequent Events," for information regarding the settlement of the forward sales agreements completed after March 31, 2022.
Senior Unsecured Notes
On April 12, 2022, the Operating Partnership issued $600.0 million of senior unsecured 2032 Notes with an interest rate of 4.2 percent and a 10-year term, due April 15, 2032. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $592.3 million after deducting underwriters' discounts and estimated offering expenses. We used the net proceeds from the offering to repay borrowings outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility. In connection with the 2032 Notes issuance, we settled four 10-year Treasury rate locks totaling $600.0 million and received a settlement payment of $35.3 million, which is included in the Accumulated other comprehensive income balance in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and will be amortized into interest expense on a straight line basis over the 10-year term of the hedged transaction. This lowers the effective interest rate on the 2032 Notes from 4.2 percent to 3.6 percent.
In October 2021, the Operating Partnership issued $450.0 million of senior unsecured 2028 Notes with an interest rate of 2.3 percent and a seven-year term, due November 1, 2028. In addition, the Operating Partnership issued $150.0 million of senior unsecured 2031 Notes (as defined below) with an interest rate of 2.7 percent and a ten-year term due July 15, 2031. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $595.5 million after deducting underwriters' discounts and estimated offering expenses.
In June 2021, the Operating Partnership issued $600.0 million of senior unsecured 2031 Notes with an interest rate of 2.7 percent and a ten-year term, due July 15, 2031. The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $592.4 million, after deducting underwriters' discounts and estimated offering expenses.
51
SUN COMMUNITIES, INC.
The proceeds from the 2028 Notes and the 2031 Notes were used to pay down borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility. The total outstanding balance of senior unsecured notes was $1.2 billion at March 31, 2022.
The obligations of the Operating Partnership to pay principal, premiums, if any, and interest on the 2028 Notes, 2031 Notes, and 2032 Notes are guaranteed on a senior basis by Sun Communities, Inc. The irrevocable guarantee is full and unconditional, and the Operating Partnership is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. Under Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, as amended, subsidiary issuers of obligations guaranteed by its parent company are not required to provide separate financial statements, provided that the subsidiary obligor is consolidated into the parent company's consolidated financial statements, the parent guarantee is "full and unconditional" and, subject to certain exceptions, the alternative disclosure required by Rule 13-01 is provided, which includes narrative disclosure and summarized financial information. Accordingly, separate consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership have not been presented. Furthermore, as permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi), we have excluded the summarized financial information for the Operating Partnership as the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Operating Partnership are not materially different from the corresponding amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements and management believes such summarized financial information would be repetitive and not provide incremental value to investors.
Line of Credit
On April 7, 2022, in conjunction with the closing of the Park Holidays acquisition, we amended our Senior Credit Facility to increase its aggregate amount to $4.2 billion with the ability to upsize the total borrowings by an additional $800 million, subject to certain conditions. Refer to Note 19, "Subsequent Events," for information regarding the amendment of our Senior Credit Facility completed after March 31, 2022.
On June 14, 2021, we entered into a senior credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with certain lenders. The Credit Agreement combined and replaced our prior $750.0 million credit facility, which was scheduled to mature on May 21, 2023, (the "A&R Facility"), and the $1.8 billion credit facility between Safe Harbor and certain lenders, which was scheduled to mature on October 11, 2024 (the "Safe Harbor Facility"). The Safe Harbor Facility was terminated in connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement. We repaid all amounts due and outstanding under the Safe Harbor Facility on or prior to the effective date. We recognized a Loss on extinguishment of debt in our Consolidated Statement of Operations related to the termination of the A&R Facility and the Safe Harbor Facility of $0.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, we may borrow up to $2.0 billion under a revolving loan (the "Senior Credit Facility"). The Senior Credit Facility is available to fund all of the Company's business, including its marina business conducted by Safe Harbor. The Credit Agreement also permits, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, additional borrowings (with the consent of the lenders) in an amount not to exceed $1.0 billion with the option to treat all, or a portion, of such additional funds as an incremental term loan.
The Senior Credit Facility has a four-year term ending June 14, 2025, and, at our option, the maturity date may be extended for two additional six-month periods, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. However, the maturity date with respect to $500.0 million of available borrowing under the Senior Credit Facility is October 11, 2024, which, under the terms of the Credit Agreement, may not be extended. The Senior Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate based on the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or BBSY rate, plus a margin that is determined based on the Company's credit ratings calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement, which can range from 0.725 percent to 1.4 percent. As of March 31, 2022, the margin based on our credit ratings was 0.85 percent on the Senior Credit Facility.
At the lenders' option, the Senior Credit Facility will become immediately due and payable upon an event of default under the Credit Agreement. We had $1.4 billion and $1.0 billion of borrowings on the Senior Credit Facility as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Of the total amount borrowed as of March 31, 2022, $1.2 billion is scheduled to mature on June 14, 2025 and $203.0 million is scheduled to mature October 11, 2024. These balances are recorded in Unsecured debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Senior Credit Facility provides us with the ability to issue letters of credit. Our issuance of letters of credit does not increase our borrowings outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility, but does reduce the borrowing amount available. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $2.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, respectively.

Financial Covenants
Pursuant to the terms of the Senior Credit Facility, we are subject to various financial and other covenants. The most restrictive financial covenants for the Senior Credit Facility are as follows:
Covenant | Requirement | As of March 31, 2022 | ||||||||||||
Maximum leverage ratio | <65.0% | 28.8% | ||||||||||||
Minimum fixed charge coverage ratio | >1.40 | 4.25 | ||||||||||||
Maximum dividend payout ratio | <95.0% | 49.2% | ||||||||||||
Maximum secured leverage ratio | <40.0% | 14.6% | ||||||||||||
In addition, we are required to maintain the following covenants with respect to the senior unsecured notes payable:
Covenant | Requirement | As of March 31, 2022 | ||||||||||||
Total debt to total assets | ≤60.0% | 40.1% | ||||||||||||
Secured debt to total assets | ≤40.0% | 22.1% | ||||||||||||
Consolidated income available for debt service to debt service | ≥1.50 | 5.80 | ||||||||||||
Unencumbered total asset value to total unsecured debt | ≥150.0% | 382.1% |
As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with the above covenants and do not anticipate that we will be unable to meet these covenants in the near term.
Bridge Loan Termination
On March 31, 2022, we terminated our commitment letter with Citigroup, pursuant to which, Citigroup (on behalf of its affiliates), previously committed to lend us up to £950 million, or approximately $1.2 billion converted at the March 31, 2022 exchange rate (the "Bridge Loan"). As of the date of termination, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Bridge Loan.
Long-term Financing and Capital Requirements
Long-term Financing
We anticipate meeting our long-term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled debt maturities, large property acquisitions, expansion and development of properties, other nonrecurring capital improvements and Operating Partnership unit redemptions through the long-term unsecured and secured indebtedness and the issuance of certain debt or equity securities subject to market conditions.
We had unrestricted cash on hand as of March 31, 2022, of $90.4 million. As of March 31, 2022, there was $572.9 million of remaining capacity on the Senior Credit Facility. At March 31, 2022 we had a total of 413 unencumbered MH, RV and marina properties.
From time to time, we may also issue shares of our capital stock, issue equity units in our Operating Partnership, issue unsecured notes, obtain other debt financing or sell selected assets. Our ability to finance our long-term liquidity requirements in such a manner will be affected by numerous economic factors affecting the MH, RV and marina industries at the time, including the availability and cost of mortgage debt, our financial condition, the operating history of the properties, the state of the debt and equity markets, and the general national, regional and local economic conditions. When it becomes necessary for us to approach the credit markets, the volatility in those markets could make borrowing more difficult to secure, more expensive, or effectively unavailable. In the event our current credit ratings are downgraded, it may become difficult or more expensive to obtain additional financing or refinance existing unsecured indebtedness as maturities become due. See "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our 2021 Annual Report. If we are unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely impacted.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices.
Interest Rate Risk
Our principal market risk exposure is interest rate risk. We mitigate this risk by maintaining prudent amounts of leverage, minimizing capital costs and interest expense while continuously evaluating all available debt and equity resources and following established risk management policies and procedures, which include the periodic use of derivatives. Our primary strategy in entering into derivative contracts is to minimize the variability that interest rate changes could have on our future cash flows. From time to time, we employ derivative instruments that effectively convert a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. We do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
Our variable rate debt totaled $1.5 billion and $917.6 million as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and at such dates bore interest at the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or BBSY rate, plus a margin, and Prime or various LIBOR rates, respectively. If the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate or BBSY rates, and Prime or LIBOR rates increased or decreased by 1.0 percent, our interest expense would have increased or decreased by $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, based on the $1.2 billion average balances outstanding under our variable rate debt facilities, respectively.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Foreign currency exchange rate risk is the risk that fluctuations in currencies against the U.S. dollar will negatively impact our results of operations. We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk as a result of remeasurement and translation of the assets and liabilities of our Canadian properties, our Australian equity investment and joint venture, and our United Kingdom assets into U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates can therefore create volatility in our results of operations and may adversely affect our financial condition.
At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our shareholder's equity included $834.3 million and $663.6 million from our investments and operations in Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom, which collectively represented 12.5 percent and 9.9 percent of total shareholder's equity, respectively. Based on our sensitivity analysis, a 10.0 percent strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and Pounds sterling would have caused a reduction of $83.4 million and $66.4 million to our total shareholder's equity at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Capital Market Risk
We are exposed to risks related to the equity capital markets, and our related ability to raise capital through the issuance of our common stock or other equity instruments. We are also exposed to risks related to the debt capital markets, and our related ability to finance our business through borrowings under other financing arrangements. As a REIT, we are required to distribute a significant portion of our taxable income annually, which constrains our ability to accumulate operating cash flow and therefore requires us to utilize debt or equity capital to finance our business. We seek to mitigate these risks by monitoring the debt and equity capital markets to inform our decisions on the amount, timing and terms of capital we raise.
56
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) at March 31, 2022. Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2022.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
