On September 29, 2022, FirstService announced that it had entered into two new Facilities for potential future private placement issuances of Notes aggregating $450 million with its existing lenders, New York Life of up to US$150 million and Prudential of up to US$300 million, in each case, net of any existing Notes held by them.

FirstService has the ability to issue incremental Note tranches under the Facilities, subject to acceptance by New York Life or Prudential, with varying maturities as determined by FirstService, and with coupon pricing determined at the time of each Note issuance.

 

As part of the closing of the New York Life facility, FirstService issued, on a private placement basis to New York Life, US$60 million of 4.53% Notes due September 29, 2032. Together with the previously outstanding US$90 million of 3.84% Notes due January 16, 2025, which are equally held by New York Life and Prudential, FirstService currently has US$150 million of issued and outstanding Notes, leaving $300 million of remaining capacity under the Facilities at the present time. The proceeds from any issued Notes are intended to be utilized for working capital and general corporate purposes and to fund future tuck-under acquisitions, as well as potential repayment of amounts outstanding under FirstService’s revolving bank credit facility. Covenants and restrictions under the Facilities are substantively equivalent to those contained in FirstService’s revolving bank credit facility.
