$450M Exchangeable Senior Notes Offering Launched, Proceeds to Pay Down Revolver
EPRT is trading near its 52-week low of $24.62 (11% above the low).
Summary
The operating partnership is offering $450 million of exchangeable senior notes due 2032, with an option for up to $67.5 million more. Terms — coupon, exchange rate, cap price — aren't set yet; they'll be priced at launch. Proceeds fund capped call transactions to blunt dilution and pay down the revolver, so this is largely a refinancing rather than new leverage. The exchange feature means potential share issuance, but the capped calls are designed to offset it up to the cap. This follows the Q3 report on October 21 that showed AFFO of $0.51 per share and raised 2026 guidance to $2.02-$2.05, and comes after the September revolver upsizing to $1.3 billion. Pricing terms are the next data point.
