Greystone Closes Inaugural Bond Offering on Tel Aviv Stock Exchange

NEW YORK, Dec. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greystone, a leading national commercial real estate finance company, announced that Greystone Senior Debt BI, LTD., a subsidiary of the Greystone Senior Debt Fund, has completed a Series A bond offering of approximately $160 million on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

Greystone Senior Debt BI, LTD., a publicly reporting company in Israel, issued 583,724,000 of NIS denominated unsecured bonds, which were rated Aa3.IL by Midroog, Moody’s affiliate in Israel. The bonds carry a 6.35% fixed coupon for a 5-year term with the first 4 years being interest-only. The firm was targeting a $100 million offering and increased it to approximately $160 million as a result of being 3x oversubscribed at attractive yields.

Greystone intends to utilize the proceeds from this initial offering to invest in new bridge loans within its Senior Debt Fund, which is a proprietary lending platform serving as a pathway to long-term US government-backed debt such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and HUD-insured financing.

“With our inaugural offering to the Israeli market being oversubscribed, I am thrilled with the vote of confidence from investors,” said Steve Rosenberg, founder and CEO of Greystone. “Greystone strives to exceed the expectations of its stakeholders by pursuing ideas and initiatives that create space for excellence and expansion. This offering will enable us to continue to grow and help our clients grow with us.”
