Cain Brothers Advises Issuance of $50M PRS Refinancing

Cain Brothers served as investment banking advisor in connection with the issuance of $50 million Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2013B for Rogue Valley Manor, a Pacific Retirement Community-managed CCRC located in Medford, Oregon.

The financing strategy consisted of a direct purchase with a commercial banking entity to refinance RVM’s Series 2007 variable rate demand bonds supported by a direct-pay letter of credit and reimburse RVM for a portion of prior capital expenditures. PRS worked with the purchaser in securing a 10-year capital commitment.

While the Series 2013B Bonds do not carry a rating, a public rating on RVM’s operations was solicited from Fitch Ratings. Cain Brothers assisted RVM throughout the rating review process, and Fitch affirmed the existing rating of “A-” with a Stable Outlook. The 10-year commitment resulted in a low cost of capital based on interest rates as of the date of transaction closing, exclusive of RVM’s corresponding interest rate swap.
