Newmark Group, Inc, a leading commercial real estate adviser and service provider to large institutional investors, global corporations, and other owners and occupiers, recently announced that it has entered into a Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement to repay the principal and interest related to all or a portion of the Company’s $550 million 6.125% Senior Notes due November 15, 2023 (the “Senior Notes”).
“This new Credit Agreement, together with the $300 million to $350 million of cash we expect to generate from our business1 this year and Newmark’s $600 million revolving credit facility, provide sufficient capital to refinance our Senior Notes and continue to invest in growing our business”, said the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Michael Rispoli.
On August 10, 2023, Newmark entered into the Credit Agreement with several financial institutions that committed to provide a $420 million senior unsecured Delayed Draw Term Loan, which may be increased to up to $550 million, subject to certain terms and conditions (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”). The proceeds of the Delayed Draw Term Loan will be used to repay the principal and interest related to all or a portion of the Senior Notes. The Delayed Draw Term Loan will mature on the earlier of November 15, 2026 and three years from the initial funding date.
The initial all in rate of the Delayed Draw Term Loan is approximately 7.9%.2
