Onity Group Announces Pricing of $500 Million of Senior Notes Due 2029
October 23 2024 - 3:15PM
Onity Group Inc. (NYSE: ONIT) (“Onity”), a leading non-bank
mortgage servicer and originator, today announced that PHH Escrow
Issuer LLC (“Escrow Issuer”), a wholly-owned special purpose
subsidiary of PHH Corporation (“PHH”), priced the previously
announced offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of
9.875% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). The price to investors
will be 99.556% of the principal amount of the Notes. The issuance
and sale of the Notes is expected to close on November 6, 2024,
subject to customary closing conditions.
The Notes will initially be issued by Escrow Issuer. The net
proceeds from the sale of the Notes, together with additional cash
from Onity, are expected to be placed into escrow pending the
satisfaction of certain conditions, including, but not limited to,
the consummation of the recently announced sale by Onity of its 15%
ownership interest in MSR Asset Vehicle LLC to certain funds
affiliated with Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (the “MAV Sale”).
Upon satisfaction of the escrow conditions, the escrowed proceeds
will be released to PHH Corporation, and at that time PHH
Corporation, along with Onity and certain subsidiaries of PHH, will
enter into a supplement to the indenture governing the Notes
pursuant to which PHH will become a co-issuer of the Notes and
Onity and such subsidiaries will become guarantors of the
Notes.
Upon their release from escrow, the net proceeds from the
offering will be used, together with the net proceeds from the MAV
Sale and cash on hand, to redeem all of PHH Mortgage Corporation’s
outstanding 7.875% Senior Notes due 2026 and all of Onity’s
outstanding 12.00%/13.25% Senior Second Lien Notes due 2027.
The Notes and the related guarantees have not been, and will not
be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any other
jurisdiction.
The Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed
to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exemption
from registration provided by Rule 144A of the Securities Act and
to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States in compliance with
Regulation S of the Securities Act.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any offer or
sale of, any security in any jurisdiction in which such offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
