Item 2.03 |
Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant. |
On August 15, 2025, Invitation Homes Operating Partnership LP (the “Issuer”), a Delaware limited partnership and the principal operating subsidiary of Invitation Homes Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), closed an underwritten public offering of $600 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.950% Senior Notes due 2033 (the “Notes”).
The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”), jointly and severally, by the Company, Invitation Homes OP GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the sole general partner of the Issuer and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “General Partner”), and IH Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“IH Merger Sub” and, together with the Company and the General Partner, the “Guarantors”). The terms of the Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of August 6, 2021 (the “Base Indenture”), by and among the Issuer, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by an eighth supplemental indenture, dated as of August 15, 2025 (the “Eighth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The Indenture contains various restrictive covenants, including requirements to maintain a certain percentage of total unencumbered assets by the Company. Copies of the Base Indenture and the Eighth Supplemental Indenture, including the form of Notes and the Guarantees, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference, are attached as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Under certain circumstances, the Indenture will require certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (other than the Issuer, the General Partner and IH Merger Sub) to guarantee the Notes in the future if, and for so long as, such subsidiary, directly or indirectly, guarantees or otherwise becomes obligated in respect of the Issuer’s revolving credit facility.
The purchase price paid by the underwriters for the Notes was 98.852% of the principal amount thereof. The Notes are the Issuer’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuer’s other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. However, the Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to: (i) all of the Issuer’s existing and future mortgage indebtedness and other secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness); (ii) all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, whether secured or unsecured, of the Issuer’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes and of any entity the Issuer accounts for using the equity method of accounting; and (iii) all preferred equity not owned by the Issuer, if any, in any of the Issuer’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes and in any entity the Issuer accounts for using the equity method of accounting. The Notes bear interest at 4.950% per annum. Interest is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2026, until the maturity date of January 15, 2033.
Prior to November 15, 2032 (the “Par Call Date”), the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price in cash (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:
|
• |
|
(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming the Notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Eighth Supplemental Indenture) plus 15 basis points less (b) unpaid interest accrued thereon to, but not including, the redemption date; and |
|
• |
|
100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, unpaid interest accrued thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. |
