Summary
On December 14, 2022, Cain Brothers successfully closed the Massachusetts Development Finance Agency Revenue Bond, D’Youville Senior Care Issue Series 2022 on behalf of D’Youville Senior Care and its sponsor, The Carmelite System.
Proceeds from the Series 2022 Bonds were used to refinance and streamline two existing bank loans, fund capital improvements on D’Youville’s campus and pay costs of issuance. The refinancing served to mitigate future interest rate risks in a rising interest rate environment, avoid future expensive call premiums on the prior loans and provide near-term cash flow relief to D’Youville. The variable rate Series 2022 Bonds are priced off of the index of 1-Month Term SOFR. In order to hedge against the interest rate risk of the variable rate Series 2022 Bonds, Cain Brothers served as Swap Advisor to D’Youville on a long-dated fixed-pay interest rate swap. The swap was structured with a 10-year cancellation option to mirror the put feature on the Series 2022 Bonds. Cain Brothers also assisted in the creation of a Master Trust Indenture to standardize the lender’s security package and streamline future debt obligations.
Cain Brothers acted as Loan Arranger and Swap Structuring Agent.
