New Issue: Eurocastle Investment issues $24.75 million 20% perpetual convertibles

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 19 - Eurocastle Investment Ltd. issued an additional €24.75 million of 20% perpetual subordinated convertible securities, according to a company news release.

Of the €24.75 million, €15 million was issued on Oct. 6 and €9.75 million was issued on Monday. The convertibles priced at a premium to par.

The company said the convertibles are part of the same series of the €75 million convertibles issued in June and were issued on similar terms. The total issue size is now €99.75 million.

Lazard & Co. was the placement agent for the Regulation S issue in June.

The conversion price is €0.30.

The convertibles are non-callable for two years. After that time, they are redeemable by the issuer at a premium of 20%.

The proceeds of the June and Oct. 6 tranches were earmarked to retire part of a corporate loan, and the proceeds of the Oct. 19 tranche will be used to satisfy a portion of the company's debt obligations.

In June, the company said no interest would be paid on the convertibles until the corporate loan was paid off in full.

Eurocastle is a St. Peter Port, Guernsey, investment company that owns and manages German commercial real estate assets.
