Insights
HASI is raising $1B through green bonds at 6.15-6.75% rates, using proceeds to refinance existing debt and fund green projects.
HASI has entered into a significant debt offering, issuing $1 billion in green senior unsecured notes across two tranches: $600 million at 6.15% due 2031 and $400 million at 6.75% due 2035. The notes will be sold slightly below par (99.679% and 99.525% respectively), suggesting moderate demand in the current rate environment. These notes will be guaranteed by six subsidiary entities, providing additional security to investors.
The company's planned use of proceeds is threefold: (1) funding previously announced tender offers for existing 2026 and 2027 notes, (2) temporarily paying down revolving credit facilities, and (3) temporarily reducing commercial paper borrowings. Ultimately, an amount equal to the net proceeds will be directed toward eligible green projects, maintaining HASI's commitment to sustainable finance.
This transaction represents a significant liability management exercise, likely prompted by the current interest rate environment. While the new notes carry higher coupon rates than the 3.375% 2026 notes being partially tendered, this reflects the broader interest rate increases since those notes were issued. The company is effectively terming out its debt profile and potentially reducing its floating rate exposure by paying down revolving facilities. The underwriter lineup includes major banks (Citigroup, J.P. Morgan, RBC, and Truist), indicating strong institutional support for this offering.
