Transactions & Financings: Asbury Communities’ $96M Bond Refinancing; LTC’s AL Acquisitions

HJ Sims closes $96M financing package for Asbury Communities

HJ Sims closed on a $96.12 million bond refinancing for Asbury Communities’ senior housing communities in Pennsylvania: Bethany Village in Mechanicsburg; and Springhill in Erie. Sims assisted Asbury the communities’ outstanding Series 2010 Bonds on their first optional redemption date of January 1.

Sims successfully priced the bonds on November 6, 2019, and delayed closing until December 31 to avoid nearly $600,000 of negative arbitrage between the pricing date and closing date, reducing the overall borrowing amount and maximizing savings for Asbury. The new Series 2019 Bonds are projected to provide $15 million of net present value savings, generating nearly $850,000 of debt service savings annually through 2041 and more than $1.2 million of debt service savings annually from 2042 to 2045.
