Office Properties Income Trust (NASDAQ:OPI) has issued $42.57 million in new senior secured notes, according to a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The notes, bearing an interest rate of 9.000% and due in 2029, were part of a private exchange with certain investors on Monday.
The newly issued notes are secured by the same collateral as the company's existing 2029 notes, which were previously described in the company's June 21, 2024, SEC filing. These notes rank equally in terms of security with the existing notes, and agents for both have entered into a standard pari passu intercreditor agreement.
The indenture, which was dated October 8, 2024, includes the company and the initial subsidiary guarantors, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent. The terms of the indenture and the notes are substantially similar to those of the indenture dated June 20, 2024, which pertained to the issuance of $567.429 million in aggregate principal amount of the company's existing 9.000% senior secured notes due in 2029.
The private placements were conducted under an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Regulation S promulgated thereunder. These notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and are not available for sale in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
