Business Wire
Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc.
(“HASI,” “our,” or the “Company”) (NYSE: HASI), a leading investor
in climate solutions, today announced that it has upsized and
priced its private offering of $550 million in aggregate principal
amount of 8% green senior unsecured notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) by
its indirect subsidiaries, HAT Holdings I LLC (“HAT I”) and HAT
Holdings II LLC (“HAT II,” and together with HAT I, the “Issuers”).
At issuance, the Notes will be guaranteed by the Company, Hannon
Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure, L.P. and Hannon Armstrong
Capital, LLC. The primary rationale for the issuance is to fund ten
identified near term opportunities in the pipeline across
Behind-the-Meter, Grid-Connected and Fuels, Transport, and Nature
markets and at weighted average anticipated yield of approximately
11%, resulting in mid-teen Return on Equity. The offering was
upsized from the previously announced $500 million in aggregate
principal amount. The settlement of the Notes is expected to occur
on December 7, 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the offering of
the Notes will be approximately $543 million, after deducting the
initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated
offering expenses. The Company intends to allocate an amount equal
to the net proceeds of the offering to acquire, invest in or
refinance, in whole or in part, new and/or existing eligible green
projects and for general corporate purposes, but in all cases the
Company will use cash equal to the net proceeds from this offering
to acquire, invest in or refinance, in whole or in part, new and/or
existing Eligible Green Projects. These eligible green projects may
include projects with disbursements made during the twelve months
preceding the issue date of the Notes and those with disbursements
to be made following the issue date. Additional investment
opportunities have also already been identified and are consistent
with the Company’s normal course investment profile. Prior to the
full investment of such net proceeds, the Company intends to invest
such net proceeds in interest-bearing accounts and short-term,
interest-bearing securities which are consistent with the Company’s
intention to qualify for taxation as a REIT during any period that
the Company intends to so qualify.
The Notes and the related guarantees are being offered only to
persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in
reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), and non-U.S. persons outside the United
States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes
and the related guarantees will not be registered under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered
or sold in the United States absent an effective registration
statement or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities
laws.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the
solicitation of an offer to buy, these securities, nor shall there
be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in
which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such
state or jurisdiction.
