ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
Our Notes due 2026 bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.50% per annum until maturity. Our Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate based on the greater of the prime rate and an applicable margin and a stipulated interest rate; therefore, if interest rates increase, our required payments on any amounts outstanding on our Revolving Credit Facility may also increase. Our IIP Life Science Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate based on the greater of SOFR and an applicable margin and a stipulated interest rate; therefore, if interest rates increase our required payments on any amounts outstanding under our IIP Life Science Credit Facility may also increase. At December 31, 2025, a 1% change in interest rates on our variable-rate debts would change our interest expense by $1.0 million.
Our investment in IQHQ Preferred Stock carries a fixed annual dividend rate of 15.0%, consisting of a 10.0% cash dividend and an initial 5.0% PIK dividend. As the dividend is fixed, the investment is not directly exposed to changes in prevailing market interest rates. However, to the extent the Company funds purchases of IQHQ Preferred Stock with variable-rate debt or other interest-sensitive instruments, rising interest rates may increase its cost of capital, potentially resulting in a negative interest rate spread on this investment.
Our investment in IQHQ Credit Facility pays a fixed interest rate of 13.5% per year, made up of 12.0% in cash and 1.5% PIK, with interest paid every quarter. As the rate is fixed, the interest income is not directly affected by changes in market interest rates. However, since the Company partially funded the IQHQ Credit Facility using variable-rate borrowings, rising interest rates may increase the Company’s cost of capital and reduce the overall return on the investment.
Our investments in short-term money market funds, certificates of deposit and short-term investments in obligations of the U.S. government with an original maturity at the time of purchase of greater than 90 days are less sensitive to market fluctuations than a portfolio of long-term securities. Accordingly, we believe that a significant change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
