Redwood Trust Prices Upsized $185.0 Million Convertible Senior Notes Offering
Redwood Trust, Inc. (NYSE: RWT; “Redwood” or the “Company”), a leader in expanding access to housing for homebuyers and renters, today announced that it priced $185,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7.00% convertible senior notes due 2030 (the “Notes”) in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The aggregate principal amount of the offering was increased from the previously announced offering size of $150,000,000. Redwood granted the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase, for settlement within a period of 13 days from, and including, the date the Notes are first issued, up to an additional $20,000,000 principal amount of Notes. The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Redwood. The offering is expected to close on September 15, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions.
Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2027; the Notes will mature on September 15, 2030, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. Upon conversion, holders of the Notes will receive shares of Redwood’s common stock, together with cash in lieu of any fractional share. If Redwood undergoes a “fundamental change” (as defined in the offering memorandum relating to the Notes), subject to certain conditions, holders of the Notes may require Redwood to repurchase all or part of their Notes for cash in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
