Summary

About the Transaction:
On April 21, 2023, KeyBanc Capital Markets (KBCM) successfully closed on the syndication of a new $300 million Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolver”) for the Southern Ute Indian Tribe of the Southern Ute Indian Reservation, Colorado (“SUIT” or the “Tribe”). The Revolver is an unsecured General Obligation of the AAA-rated Tribe and will be used by the Southern Ute Growth Fund (SUGF) for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, investments, and working capital.

This financing represents KBCM’s first debt transaction with the Tribe. KBCM was selected to participate because of its extensive knowledge and experience in the Native American Financial Services industry and robust debt capital markets capabilities.

Currently, the Tribe has ~1,475 enrolled members who reside both on and off the reservation. The Tribe operates several businesses on and off Reservation including oil and gas production, natural gas gathering, real estate development, housing construction, and gaming.
