On February 25, 2016, Realogy Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (the Company), Realogy Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the Companys indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary (Realogy Group), Realogy Co-Issuer Corp., a Florida corporation and the Companys indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary (the Co-Issuer and, together with Realogy Group, the Issuers), and the subsidiary guarantors named therein entered into a Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with the several initial purchasers named in Schedule A thereto, relating to the sale by the Issuers of $250 million aggregate principal amount of the Issuers 5.250% senior notes due 2021 at an issue price of 100.25% of the principal amount (the Notes). The Notes will be issued under the same indenture as the $300 million aggregate principal amount of Realogy Groups 5.250% senior notes due 2021 issued on November 21, 2014 (the Existing 5.250% Senior Notes). The Notes will have identical terms, other than the issue date, the issue price and the first interest payment date, and will constitute part of the same series as the Existing 5.250% Senior Notes. The Notes will have the same CUSIP numbers as the Existing 5.250% Senior Notes, except for the Notes sold pursuant to Regulation S which will, on the 40th day following the issue date of the Notes, have the same CUSIP numbers. The Notes that have the same CUSIP numbers as the Existing 5.250% Senior Notes are expected to be fungible with the Existing 5.250% Senior Notes.
The Notes will be issued in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A and to persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The Notes will be guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by each of Realogy Groups domestic subsidiaries (other than the Co-Issuer) that is a guarantor under its senior secured credit facilities and its outstanding senior notes. The Notes will also be guaranteed by the Company on an unsecured senior subordinated basis. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to all of Realogy Groups existing and future senior secured debt, including its senior secured credit facilities, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. Subject to customary closing conditions, the sale of the Notes is expected to close on or about March 1, 2016.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Issuers and the guarantors. In addition, the Issuers and the guarantors have agreed to indemnify the initial purchasers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the initial purchasers may be required to make in respect of those liabilities. Furthermore, the Issuers and the guarantors have agreed with the initial purchasers not to offer or sell any similar debt securities for a period of 60 days after the closing date without the prior written consent of the initial purchasers.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes of approximately $247 million to temporarily reduce outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and for working capital purposes, prior to using such net proceeds to retire a portion of its outstanding 3.375% Senior Notes due 2016 at maturity in May 2016.
