Key Terms

convertible perpetual preferred equity financial
A convertible perpetual preferred equity is a type of ownership share that pays a steady dividend like a bond, has no set maturity date so it can remain outstanding indefinitely, and can be converted into common stock under specified conditions. It matters to investors because it offers higher, more stable income and priority for payments compared with ordinary shares, but also carries the risk of dilution if converted and sensitivity to interest-rate and credit changes—like a hybrid between a bond and equity.
delayed-draw financial
A delayed-draw is a loan arrangement that lets a borrower take portions of an agreed loan over time instead of receiving the full amount upfront, similar to having an approved credit line you can tap when needed within a set period. It matters to investors because it affects a company’s cash planning and debt profile—knowing when and how much will be borrowed helps assess future interest costs, leverage and the timing of potential dilution or repayment risks.
convertible perpetual preferred stock financial
A convertible perpetual preferred stock is a hybrid security that pays regular fixed dividends like a bond but has no set maturity date, meaning the company does not have to repay the principal. It can be converted into common shares under specified terms, which matters to investors because it provides steady income and higher claim priority in a payout, while also carrying the risk of future dilution of common shares if conversion occurs.
dividend yield financial
Dividend yield is the annual cash dividend a company pays divided by its current share price, shown as a percentage. It tells investors how much income they would receive for each dollar invested—similar to the interest rate on a savings account—helping compare income potential across stocks and flagging when a payout looks unusually high or low relative to the share price.

conversion price financial
The conversion price is the fixed price at which a convertible security, like a bond or preferred stock, can be exchanged for shares of common stock. It acts like a set rate that determines how many shares an investor can receive if they choose to convert their investment. This helps investors understand the value and potential benefits of converting their securities into company shares.
volume-weighted average price technical
Volume-weighted average price (VWAP) is the average price of a stock over a specific time period where each trade is weighted by the number of shares traded, so larger trades influence the average more than small ones. Investors and traders use VWAP as a reference point to judge whether trades are happening at relatively good or poor prices—like checking the average price paid for an item at a market where bulk purchases count more than single-item buys.
warrant financial
A warrant is a time-limited financial contract that gives its holder the right to buy a company's shares at a set price before a specified date, like a coupon that lets you purchase stock at a fixed discount for a limited time. It matters to investors because warrants offer leveraged exposure to a stock’s upside and can dilute existing shareholders if exercised, so they affect potential gains and the company’s outstanding share count.
make-whole provision financial
A make-whole provision is a clause in a loan or bond that requires a borrower to pay extra cash to lenders if the borrower repays the debt early, compensating them for the interest they would have received. It matters to investors because it protects expected income and affects the value and yield of a bond, and it matters to issuers because it raises the cost of refinancing. Think of it like paying a landlord a lump sum to cover the remaining rent when breaking a lease early.

BETHESDA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Chiron Real Estate Inc. (NYSE: XRN) (the “Company” or “Chiron”), today announced the entry into an agreement providing for up to a $100 million delayed-draw convertible perpetual preferred equity investment led by Maewyn Capital Partners (“Maewyn”).

“This growth equity investment represents an important milestone in the repositioning of Chiron. Maewyn’s capital provides long-term flexibility and is expected to accelerate our transition toward higher-return opportunities across the healthcare real estate spectrum. We are focused on disciplined capital allocation and believe this investment further aligns our capital structure with our objective of driving long-term earnings growth,” said Mark Decker Jr., Chief Executive Officer and President of Chiron.

“I have known Mark Decker for nearly 20 years and have a high regard for his leadership and capital allocation discipline. Chiron has a unique opportunity to reposition its portfolio and drive meaningfully higher long-term returns, and we believe Mark is well suited to lead the Company through this transition given his experience and track record. Our capital is designed to be flexible and aligned with the Company’s needs, enabling management to execute on its strategy and accelerate this transition. We are excited to partner with Mark, the management team, and the Board as they continue to evolve Chiron into a differentiated and disciplined allocator of capital,” said Charles P. Fitzgerald, Founder and Managing Partner of Maewyn.

Strategic Rationale and Benefits

  • Supports portfolio repositioning: Provides capital to accelerate Chiron’s transition toward higher-return investments, including senior housing and other targeted healthcare sectors.
  • Attractive cost of capital: Structured to provide long-term, flexible capital while preserving balance sheet strength.
  • Institutional validation: Reflects confidence in Chiron’s platform, strategy, and ability to execute a disciplined capital allocation framework.
  • Enhances corporate governance: Charles P. Fitzgerald will be joining the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) as an independent director following the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held on May 20, 2026.
  • Alignment: A separate Maewyn affiliate owns 53,434 shares of common stock, purchased prior to this transaction, representing approximately $2 million of invested capital.

Terms of the Delayed-Draw Convertible Perpetual Preferred Securities

  • The Company will sell an aggregate of $100 million of Series C convertible perpetual preferred stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), either in full or in multiple tranches (subject to certain closing conditions). All capital must be called within six months from today's date.
  • 6.00% per annum dividend yield, payable quarterly in cash, which will increase after the fourth anniversary of the final draw if the Series C Preferred Stock is still outstanding.
  • Holders have the option to convert the Series C Preferred Stock into shares of common stock of the Company at $43.00 per share (“Conversion Price”) at any time. Three years after the final draw, the Company has the option to convert the Series C Preferred Stock to common stock if the volume-weighted average price exceeds 20.0% above the Conversion Price for 45 consecutive trading days.
  • The Company may redeem the Series C Preferred Stock at par at any time, after the fourth anniversary of the final draw. If the Series C Preferred Stock is redeemed, the Company will issue a warrant to the holders at the then-effective Conversion Price with a 5-year term.
  • The Series C Preferred Stock does not have a make-whole provision or make-whole grid commonly found in redemption features of convertible securities.
  • Maewyn will have the right to appoint one representative to the Board. Charles P. Fitzgerald will be the initial designee and will be appointed following the Company’s 2026 Annual Stockholders’ meeting on May 20, 2026. Mr. Fitzgerald brings extensive REIT sector and investment management experience across a career spanning nearly 30 years, including portfolio management positions at JP Morgan Investment Management, High Rise Capital Management and V3 Capital Management, which he founded and served as its Managing Partner.
