WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Dec. 05, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ocwen Financial Corporation (OCN), (NYSE:OCN) (“Ocwen” or the “Company”), a leading financial services holding company, today announced the completion of the settlement of the previously announced Exchange Offer by its subsidiary Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC (“OLS”) pursuant to which OLS issued $346.9 million aggregate principal amount of 8.375% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2022 (the “New Second Lien Notes”) in exchange for $346.9 million aggregate principal amount (or 99.1%) of Ocwen’s 6.625% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “Existing Notes”) that had been tendered in the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer was purely a debt-for-debt exchange offer and none of OLS, Ocwen or any of their subsidiaries received any cash proceeds from the transaction.
Ocwen also announced that concurrently with the closing of the Exchange Offer, OLS entered into a new Senior Secured Term Loan Facility (the “SSTL”), with an initial interest rate of 6.0%. The SSTL provides for a $335 million term loan credit facility with a maturity date of December 5, 2020, and is refinancing the prior senior secured term loan that had a maturity date of February 15, 2018 and an interest rate of 5.5%. The SSTL refinancing was predominantly a debt-for-debt refinancing and, after allowing for payment of expenses on both transactions and original issue discount on the SSTL refinancing, none of OLS, Ocwen or any of their subsidiaries received net cash proceeds from these transactions.
“We are very pleased to have successfully completed these two important refinancing transactions,” commented Ron Faris, President and CEO.
The SSTL and New Second Lien Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by Ocwen, Ocwen Mortgage Servicing, Inc., Homeward Residential Holdings, Inc., Homeward Residential, Inc. and Automotive Capital Services, Inc. (collectively, the "Guarantors"). The New Second Lien Notes and the related guarantees will be unsubordinated obligations of OLS and the Guarantors, respectively, and will be secured (subject in each case to certain exceptions and permitted liens) by a second-priority lien on the assets of OLS and the Guarantors that secure the SSTL (the "Collateral"). The lien on the Collateral securing the New Second Lien Notes will be junior to the first priority lien securing the SSTL.
The New Second Lien Notes have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state or foreign securities laws. The New Second Lien Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
In the settlement of the Exchange Offer, OLS delivered the Total Exchange Consideration of $1,000 principal amount of New Second Lien Notes for each $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes that were validly tendered in the Exchange Offer, including Existing Notes that were tendered after the Early Tender Date of 5:00 pm on November 15, 2016.
