Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 14, 2017, Ramco-Gershenson Properties, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), the majority-owned operating partnership of Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust (the “Registrant”), entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment amends and restates the Registrant's existing credit agreement with a number of financial institutions to provide an unsecured credit facility in the aggregate amount of $350 million with the ability to increase borrowing capacity up to $650 million through an accordion feature. The credit facility matures on September 14, 2021, and may be extended by the Registrant for two periods of six months each subject to continued compliance with the terms of the credit facility and the payment of an extension fee of 0.075%. Borrowings on the facility will be priced at London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin of between 1.30% and 1.95%, based on the Registrant’s leverage ratio as calculated under the credit facility.

Upon closing, the Operating Partnership had $168 million outstanding on the revolving line of credit.
