Analysis · STHO · Real Estate & Construction
Star Holdings renegotiated its $46.5 million margin loan with Morgan Stanley, lowering the share price trigger that would force a mandatory prepayment from $10.00 to $8.00. The amendment also terminates an undrawn $15.8 million delayed draw commitment and lowers loan-to-value thresholds for posting or releasing collateral. The trigger reduction gives the company more breathing room if Safehold shares decline, but the termination of the delayed draw removes a potential liquidity source. This follows the October 2 amendment that extended the term loan to 2029 and unlocked a $10 million buyback.
