GREENWICH, Conn., Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE:STWD) announced today that it has completed several capital markets transactions in December 2024:

  • On December 17th, we priced a new issue of $500 million 6.500% senior unsecured sustainability notes due July 2030, swapped to SOFR + 2.55%, our lowest floating-rate spread in six years.
  • On December 12th, we extended our $767 million July 2026 Term Loan B to January 2030 at 99.75% of par.  With strong demand, we upsized this transaction by $133 million to $900 million and reduced spread by 0.73% to SOFR + 2.25%, the lowest spread in Starwood Property Trust's history.
  • On December 12th, we amended our revolving credit facility, increasing the size by $50 million to $200 million and extending the maturity from April 2026 to January 2030.
  • On December 5th, we repriced our $590 million Term Loan B due November 2027 at par. With strong demand, we upsized this transaction by $100 million to $690 million, and reduced spread by 0.50% to SOFR +2.25%, also the lowest spread in Starwood Property Trust's history. 
  • Combined, these transactions extended our weighted average remaining corporate debt maturity from 2.2 years to 3.5 years, significantly lowered our borrowing costs and created $783 million of new capital to deploy.
  • Upon repaying our December 2024 and March 2025 unsecured notes, we will have no corporate debt maturities until July 2026.

"We have seen a thawing in CRE capital markets that has created increased lending opportunities for our low-leverage, diversified business. With a robust pipeline of Q4 and Q1 investments, this incremental low-cost term capital positions us to continue to increase our investing pace in 2025," stated Barry Sternlicht, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Starwood Property Trust. 

"With our heightened level of investment activity, we are pleased to have had the opportunity to again increase our liquidity with these transactions, while reducing our cost of funds and extending the tenor of our debt. These transactions once again demonstrate STWD's unique access to capital at best-in-class rates, and we are pleased to have once again fortified and optimized the right side of our balance sheet as we head into what we expect to be a busy 2025," stated Jeffrey DiModica, President, Starwood Property Trust. 

These transactions are subject to ordinary closing conditions.
