AVANA Capital Completes Hospitality-focused Bond Offering
AVANA BonHon, LLC, a special purpose entity and subsidiary of AVANA Capital Inc., has successfully closed a $65mm offering of five-year investment-grade debt to support the company's hospitality financing business. Sandler O'Neill + Partners acted as both lead underwriter and placement agent on the offering.
This represents the first in a series of U.S. hospitality-focused debt offerings planned by the company. Created to develop a portfolio of high-quality construction and bridge loans from across the U.S., many from prominent Marriott and Hilton properties as well as other high-performing extended-stay brands, the offering underscores AVANA Capital's focus on growing sources of loan capital while maintaining commitment to social initiatives such as job creation and clean energy.
According to Sundip Patel, CEO of AVANA Capital, "The strong demand and oversubscription of this bond offering demonstrates the market's confidence in AVANA's ability to originate, underwrite, and service high-quality commercial and small-business loans. We look forward to using this and future BonHon offerings, coupled with our continued growth in direct investor capital, to serve the needs of business owners in the hospitality space for many years to come."
The oversubscribed Regulation D private placement is A rated, classified NAIC-1 by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and is DTC eligible.
