Analysis · RC · Real Estate & Construction
Ready Capital is refinancing its near-term debt stack. The company priced $225 million of 10.00% senior secured notes due 2031 and will use the proceeds, plus available cash, to redeem the entire $350 million of 4.50% notes due 2026. The transaction reduces corporate secured debt by $125 million and completes the balance sheet repositioning program announced in Q4 2025. The new notes carry a materially higher coupon than the notes being retired, reflecting the company's elevated cost of capital after recent losses, but the deal removes a major 2026 maturity and leaves only $100 million due in November 2026, which management expects to repay from cash on hand.
