Blazing Star Merger Sub completes Walgreens debt tender offer
IRVINE, Calif. - loanDepot, Inc. (NYSE:LDI), a mortgage lender with a market capitalization of $620 million and current stock price of $1.88, announced Tuesday it has completed a private offering of $150 million in secured term notes through its indirect subsidiary, loanDepot GMSR Master Trust. According to InvestingPro data, the company has seen significant revenue growth of 27% over the last twelve months.
The variable-rate notes, based on SOFR plus a margin, mature on July 16, 2030, and are secured by portfolio excess spread relating to mortgage servicing rights on Ginnie Mae-backed securities. Proceeds were used to partially pay down a previously issued variable funding note secured by Ginnie Mae mortgage servicing rights.
Nomura Securities International served as the manager and initial purchaser for the transaction, with Alston & Bird LLP representing loanDepot as issuer’s counsel.
"Our ability to finance MSR assets is an important balance sheet and risk management tool for the Company," said David Hayes, loanDepot’s Chief Financial Officer, according to the press release. Hayes noted the transaction provides diversification and term extension relative to existing financing.
This represents loanDepot’s second GMSR offering this year, following a transaction less than two months ago. The notes will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and were not offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption.
Founded in 2010, loanDepot is licensed in all 50 states and offers mortgage and real estate services. The company trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker LDI.
