Ziegler Closes $52 Million Lakeview Village, Inc. Financing
CHICAGO (PRWEB) June 01, 2018 -- Ziegler, a specialty investment bank, is pleased to announce the successful closing of the $52,030,000 Series 2018 fixed-rate financing for Lakeview Village, Inc., a long-standing Ziegler client.
Lakeview Village, Inc. (Lakeview) is a Kansas not-for-profit corporation created in 1962 that operates a “Type A” life plan community on a 100-acre campus in Lenexa, Kansas. The 747-unit community includes 342 independent living apartments, 207 independent living cottages and villas, 26 assisted living units, and 172 skilled nursing beds.
Proceeds of the financing, together with other funds, are being used to: (i) refund Lakeview Village’s Series 2007 Bonds, (ii) fund debt service reserve funds, and (iii) pay costs of issuance. The Series 2018A Bonds are rated “BB+” with a stable outlook from Fitch Ratings. The Bond structure includes serial bonds through 2032 and two term bonds in 2034 and 2039 amortized for level debt service. The resulting average yield is 3.90% with an overall yield to maturity of 4.12%. As a result of this refinancing, Lakeview will save $455k per year, with net present value savings of $4.91 million, or 8.68% of the refunded bonds. The bonds are priced to a 7-year call at 103% declining to par.
“Ziegler’s expertise in packaging and marketing the bonds led to an exceptional outcome for Lakeview Village,” commented Jamie Frazier, CEO. “The 2018 and 2017 refundings, taken together, will generate approximately $900,000 in average annual debt service savings through year 2039. These financings will result in improved capital and liquidity ratios for Lakeview and further demonstrate management’s commitment to being sound fiscal stewards of their financial resources,” added Will Carney, Managing Director in Ziegler’s senior living finance practice.
