TORONTO, April 18, 2018 /CNW/ - Tricon Capital Group Inc. ("Tricon" or the "Company") (TSX: TCN), a principal investor and asset manager focused on the residential real estate industry, announced today that Tricon American Homes ("TAH") has completed its previously-announced single-family rental securitization transaction. TAH received net proceeds from the sale of six classes of fixed-rate certificates that represent beneficial ownership interests in a loan secured by 2,509 of TAH's single-family rental properties. The certificates have a face amount of $314 million, a weighted average coupon of approximately 3.86% and a term to maturity of seven years. The transaction proceeds represent approximately 61% of the value of the securitized portfolio and approximately 81% of its all-in cost.
TAH intends to use the net transaction proceeds to refinance substantially all of the remaining outstanding balance on the $1.2 billion loan facility used to finance its acquisition of Silver Bay Realty Trust Corp. in May 2017. In addition, Tricon expects to repatriate approximately $25 million of net proceeds to be used for corporate debt reduction.
