In other recent news, Office Properties Income Trust (OPI) has undergone several significant developments. S&P Global recently downgraded OPI’s issuer credit rating to ’CC’ from ’ CCC (WA:CCCP)’ due to a proposed debt exchange offer. This exchange involves offering existing noteholders the option to exchange their notes for up to $175 million of new senior priority guaranteed unsecured notes due 2030, which S&P views as a distressed exchange. Despite this, the company later saw an upgrade in its credit rating to ’CCC’ from ’CCC-’ after a private exchange offer improved its near-term liquidity. The firm also issued $445 million of new senior secured notes due 2027 and announced the closure of 17 property sales totaling $114.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Additionally, OPI has filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC for the resale of up to 5,700,900 common shares, which were issued as part of an exchange agreement. This filing is part of OPI’s strategy to manage its debt and equity structure, with the legal opinion of Duane Morris LLP confirming the validity of the shares. The company continues to face refinancing risks due to upcoming debt maturities, despite the recent financial maneuvers.
