WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Oct. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Onity Group Inc. (NYSE: ONIT) (“Onity”), a leading non-bank mortgage servicer and originator, today announced that PHH Escrow Issuer LLC (“Escrow Issuer”), a wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of PHH Corporation (“PHH”), plans to offer $475 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”), subject to market and other conditions.
The Notes will initially be issued by Escrow Issuer. The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, together with additional cash from Onity, are expected to be placed into escrow pending the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, but not limited to, the consummation of the recently announced sale by Onity of its 15% ownership interest in MSR Asset Vehicle LLC to certain funds affiliated with Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. (the “MAV Sale”). Upon satisfaction of the escrow conditions, the escrowed proceeds will be released to PHH Corporation, and at that time PHH Corporation, along with Onity and certain subsidiaries of PHH, will enter into a supplement to the indenture governing the Notes pursuant to which PHH will become a co-issuer of the Notes and Onity and such subsidiaries will become guarantors of the Notes.
Upon their release from escrow, the net proceeds from the offering will be used, together with the net proceeds from the MAV Sale and cash on hand, to redeem all of PHH Mortgage Corporation’s outstanding 7.875% Senior Notes due 2026 and all of Onity’s outstanding 12.00%/13.25% Senior Second Lien Notes due 2027.
The Notes and the related guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction.
The Notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A of the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States in compliance with Regulation S of the Securities Act.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any offer or sale of, any security in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
