Starwood Property Trust (STWD) Announces Notes Offering

June 22, 2023 7:58 AM EDT

Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE: STWD) (the "Company") today announced that it is offering $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the "Notes") in an underwritten public offering. The underwriters will have a 30-day option from the date of the offering to purchase up to an additional $52,500,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes from the Company to cover over-allotments, if any.

The Company intends to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, recently completed or future eligible green and/or social projects. Eligible green and/or social projects are projects that meet certain eligibility criteria in alignment with the four core components of the Green Bond Principles 2021 (with June 2022 Appendix 1), Social Bond Principles 2021 (with June 2022 Appendix 1) and Sustainability Bond Guidelines 2021 as administered by the International Capital Market Association. Net proceeds allocated to previously incurred costs associated with eligible green and/or social projects will be available for the repayment of indebtedness previously incurred. Pending full allocation of an amount equal to the net proceeds to eligible green and/or social projects, the Company intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of outstanding indebtedness under the Company's repurchase facilities.

Prior to January 15, 2027, the Notes will be convertible only upon certain circumstances and during certain periods, and thereafter will be convertible at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day prior to maturity of the Notes. Upon conversion, holders will receive cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination thereof at the Company's election. The Notes will be issued under the Company's currently effective shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The interest rate, conversion rate and other terms of the Notes will be determined at the time of pricing of the offering. The Notes will be the Company's senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of its present and future senior unsecured debt and senior to any future subordinated debt.
