New Issue: Blackstone Mortgage details $100 million add-on to 4.375% convertibles sold at 100.375

By Stephanie N. Rotondo

Seattle, Aug. 9 – New details emerged on Blackstone Mortgage Trust Inc.’s $100 million add-on to its 4.375% convertible senior notes due 2022 on Wednesday.

The add-on priced on Tuesday, coming at 100.375% of par, the company said in an FWP filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday.

The company originally sold $250 million of the convertibles at a discounted price of 99 on May 2. A $37.5 million greenshoe was exercised May 23, bringing the total amount out standing to $287.5 million.

Barclays is running the books on the add-on.

There is a $15 million over-allotment option.

Conversions will be settled in cash, class A common stock or a combination of both. The conversion rate is 28.0324 shares per each $1,000 of notes, equal to an initial conversion price of $35.67 a share.

At the time of the initial deal’s pricing, the conversion price represented an initial conversion premium of 15%.

The convertibles are contingently convertible prior to Feb. 1, 2022 and are convertible at any time after that date.

Proceeds will be used to originate and purchase additional commercial mortgage loans and other target assets and investments consistent with its investment strategies and investment guidelines, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including repayment of debt.

Blackstone Mortgage is a New York-based real estate investment trust.
