Sky Harbour Announces Pricing of its Series 2026 Bonds at 6%

Key Terms

coupon financial

A coupon is the regular interest payment a bond issuer promises to make to bondholders, usually expressed as a percentage of the bond’s face value. It matters to investors because it provides predictable income like a steady paycheck and helps determine a bond’s market value and sensitivity to interest rate changes — higher coupons cushion price drops, while low coupons make bonds more sensitive to rate swings.

mandatory tender financial

A mandatory tender (often called a mandatory tender offer) is a required offer by a buyer who has acquired enough voting control to force remaining shareholders to sell their shares at a set price. Think of it like someone who buys most of the houses on a street and by law must make an offer to buy the rest; it protects minority holders and ensures all owners get the same exit price. For investors this matters because it can sharply change a stock’s price, liquidity and whether you can keep or lose ownership at the offered price.

conduit issuer regulatory

A conduit issuer is a financial entity that borrows money by issuing bonds and then uses those funds to lend to or finance specific projects for other organizations. For investors, it matters because the conduit issuer's ability to repay depends mainly on the success of the projects it funds, rather than on its own financial strength, making it important to assess the underlying assets or projects involved.

Draw Down Facility financial

A draw down facility is a pre-arranged line of credit that lets a company withdraw cash up to an agreed limit when it needs funds, paying interest only on amounts actually used. Think of it like a business credit card or emergency tap for cash: it provides flexible short-term liquidity, influences how long a company can operate without raising new capital, and matters to investors because it affects financial stability, borrowing costs and potential dilution or leverage risk.

subordinated bonds financial

Subordinated bonds are loans a company issues that are paid after other debts if the company runs into trouble, so holders stand later in the repayment line. Because they take more risk than higher‑priority debt, subordinated bonds usually offer higher interest, making them attractive for income-seeking investors who accept greater chance of loss; think of them as getting paid only after the people at the front of the line are made whole.

Deal Upsized to $150 million

WEST HARRISON, N.Y--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sky Harbour Group Corporation (NYSE: SKYH, SKYH WS) (“SHG” or the “Company”), an aviation infrastructure company building the first nationwide network of Home Base Operator (HBO) campuses for business aircraft, announced today that its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary Sky Harbour Capital III LLC (“SKYH Capital III”) priced its Series 2026 Aviation Facilities Project bonds (the “Series 2026 Bonds”) at a yield of 6.0%. The Series 2026 Bonds were priced at par, carry a 6.0% coupon, and benefit from a mandatory tender on January 1, 2031. The Series 2026 Bonds are proposed to be issued by the Public Finance Authority of Wisconsin, a multi-jurisdictional conduit issuer. Through underwriters Barclays Capital Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, and Academy Securities, the Series 2026 Bonds received approximately $450 million in orders from 18 institutional fund investors. The transaction was upsized from the original $100 million to $150 million given investor demand. The Series 2026 Bonds are expected to be issued on or about February 12, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

The proceeds of the Series 2026 Bonds, along with the previously announced $200 million committed Draw Down Facility from J.P.
