Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 21, 2025, Easterly Government Properties, Inc. (the “Company”), its operating partnership, Easterly Government Properties LP (the “Operating Partnership”), and certain subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership entered into a fifth amendment (the “Term Loan Amendment”) to its second amended and restated credit agreement, dated as of July 23, 2021 (as amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “2021 Credit Agreement”), with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and the banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”). The 2021 Credit Agreement provides for (i) a $200.0 million senior unsecured term loan (the “2018 Term Loan”) and (ii) a $450.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2021 Revolver”). As previously reported on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 5, 2024, the component of the 2021 Credit Agreement providing for the 2021 Revolver was terminated effective as of June 3, 2024.

The Term Loan Amendment extends the maturity date of the 2018 Term Loan from July 23, 2026 to August 21, 2028, or such later date pursuant to two one-year extension options exercisable by the Company in its discretion, subject to certain conditions, including the payment of a fee. The Term Loan Amendment also removes the minimum consolidated tangible net worth financial covenant and includes an accordion feature that provides the Company with additional capacity, subject to the satisfaction of customary terms and conditions, of up to $100.0 million. Other than the foregoing, the material terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement remain unchanged. After giving effect to borrowings on the date of the Term Loan Amendment, the $200.0 million initially committed Term Loan is fully drawn.

Certain of the banks and financial institutions that are parties to the 2021 Credit Agreement and their respective affiliates have in the past provided, are currently providing, and in the future may continue to provide investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services to the Company and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they have received and will receive customary compensation.
