Summary

On September 29, 2022, Cain Brothers successfully closed the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority Healthcare Facilities Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2022 Carmel Manor, Inc. Project on behalf of Carmel Manor, Inc. and its sponsor, The Carmelite System, Inc.

The proceeds from the Series 2022 tax-exempt public fixed-rate bonds were used to refinance an existing bank loan and pay certain costs of issuance. As part of the refinancing, an outstanding fixed-pay interest rate swap that hedged the refunded bank loan was terminated and resulted in a $1.4 million positive termination payment to Carmel Manor. The Series 2022 financing was structured as interest-only bonds with a single bullet principal payment due at maturity. The Carmelite System Obligated Group (“BBB+” by Fitch) provided a Guaranty of the principal payment. All interest through final maturity was prefunded by The Carmelite System, Inc. and its sponsor, The Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm, and will be held in a trustee account. The prefunded, interest-only structure serves to eliminate the requirement for Carmel Manor to make debt service payments during the next 5 years and improve cash flow while management implements various improvement plans to better position Carmel Manor for a debt restructuring at the end of, or prior to, the 5-year bond maturity

Cain Brothers acted as Sole Manager.
