BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 3, 2012--
Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. ("Kennedy Wilson"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
international real estate investment and services firm Kennedy-Wilson
Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:KW), today announced that it priced its
previously announced offering of its 8.750% senior notes due 2019 (the
"Additional Notes") at an offering price of 105.250% of their principal
amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest from October 1, 2012. Kennedy
Wilson increased the size of the previously announced $75.0 million
offering to $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of Additional
Notes. The Additional Notes will be Kennedy Wilson’s senior unsecured
obligations and will be guaranteed by Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and
certain subsidiaries of Kennedy Wilson. Interest on the Additional Notes
will be payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each year,
beginning on April 1, 2013. The Additional Notes are being offered to
“qualified institutional buyers” pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United
States to persons other than “U.S. persons” in compliance with
Regulation S under the Securities Act. Following the required exchange
offer of the Additional Notes for registered notes, Kennedy Wilson
expects that the registered notes will be treated, together with the
existing $250 million of 8.750% senior notes due 2019 previously issued
by Kennedy Wilson, as a single series of debt securities.
Kennedy Wilson intends to use the net proceeds from the Additional Notes
for working capital and general corporate purposes, including future
acquisitions and co-investments.
This news release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an
offer to buy the securities described above, nor shall there be any sale
of any securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation
or sale would be unlawful.
The offer and sale of the Additional Notes will not be registered under
the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and unless so
registered, the Additional Notes may not be offered or sold in the
United States or to U.S. persons except pursuant to transactions that
are exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
