Brazos Presbyterian Homes
On December 4, 2013, BB&T Capital Markets closed a $92.5 million debt issuance for Brazos Presbyterian Homes (“Brazos”) consisting of (i) $67,500,000 of Series 2013B fixed rate bonds that were rated “BB+” and (ii) a $25,000,000 bank loan (collectively the “Series 2013 Bonds”). Proceeds of the Series 2013 Bonds will be used to fund a major expansion and redevelopment at one of Brazos’ campuses. The financing structure consists of two series of tax-exempt debt: a short-term bank loan and long-term fixed rate bonds. The shortterm bank loan, which will be repaid from initial entrance fees, was placed directly with BB&T Bank. The selection of BB&T Bank occurred after a bank loan proposal process (which was supervised by an independent financial advisor) was completed that included nine different providers. BB&T Bank was selected as its proposal provided Brazos with the lowest cost of borrowing and most attractive borrowing terms and conditions. In addition to soliciting the short-term bank loan, BB&T Capital Markets assisted Brazos in successfully securing a “BB+” credit rating (stable outlook) from Fitch Ratings. Fitch typically does not provide initial ratings at this level to providers undergoing a $90+ million expansion; however, due to Brazos’ strong financial profile including good occupancy and strong liquidity combined with BB&T’s leadership and positioning of the qualitative aspects, Fitch elected to assign the rating. As a result of the bank participation, credit rating and marketing effort, the fixed rate bonds were well received by the marketplace as there was significant retail demand supplemented by 15 different institutional investors placing orders resulting in a true interest cost of 6.81 percent for the Series 2013 Bonds. Most importantly, maximum annual debt service is more than $350,000 lower than the estimate used in the feasibility study thereby providing Brazos additional cushion in its financial projections.
