Amherst Announces Any and All Cash Tender Offer for $143,160,000 of Single-Family Rental Pass-Through Certificates, Class A Issued by AMSR 2022-SFR1 Trust

AUSTIN, Texas, March 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Amherst Group (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, "Amherst") announced today that Amherst Single Family Residential Partners VI, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Offeror"), has commenced an offer (the "Offer") to purchase for cash any and all of the certificates listed in the table below (the "Certificates") issued by the AMSR 2022-SFR1 Trust (the "Trust") from each registered holder of the Certificates (the "Holders").  The Trust was formed by BAF Securities Depositor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as depositor (the "Depositor").  The Depositor is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Offeror and an affiliate of Amherst.

The Offer is being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase dated March 13, 2024 (the "Offer to Purchase"), which contains detailed information concerning the terms of the Offer.  The Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 19, 2024, unless extended or earlier terminated (the "Expiration Date").  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the Settlement Date is expected to be March 22, 2024.

The purchase price payable for the Certificates (the "Purchase Price") will be a price per $1,000 principal amount of the Certificates validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) by the Holders at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date and accepted for purchase by the Offeror equal to the "Tender Offer Consideration" for the Certificates set forth in the table above.

The Offeror will pay the Purchase Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest from the most recent distribution date (on which an interest payment was made) to, but not including, the Settlement Date (the "Accrued Interest") for any Certificates validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) by the Holders at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date and accepted for purchase by the Offeror in same-day funds on the Settlement Date.

Tenders of Certificates pursuant to the Offer may be validly withdrawn at any time before the earlier of (i) the Expiration Date, and (ii) if the Offer is extended, the 10th business day after commencement of the Offer.  Certificates subject to the Offer may also be validly withdrawn at any time after the 60th business day after commencement of the Offer if for any reason the Offer has not been consummated within 60 business days after commencement.

The Offer is conditioned on satisfaction of certain customary general conditions described in the Offer to Purchase.  Subject to applicable law, the Offeror may, at its sole discretion, waive any condition applicable to the Offer and may extend the Offer.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this press release shall have meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.

The Offeror does not at this time contemplate entering into a transaction to resell the Certificates that it acquires. The Offeror will retain all of the rights and benefits attendant to the Certificates under the Trust and Servicing Agreement including the right to receive payments thereon in accordance with the Trust and Servicing Agreement for so long as it owns the Certificates subject to the rights of any lender under a secured financing, if any, with respect to the Certificates.

Given the significant home price appreciation experienced in certain markets, the Offeror has commenced the Offer to consider opportunistically selling homes from the Trust securitization. To do so, any homes sold must be released from the securitization, which would require repayment of certificates issued under the Trust. These certificates are currently trading at a discount to par. Therefore, the Offeror has structured the Offer to be mutually beneficial to both the Offeror and Holders by repurchasing Certificates at a premium to market.

The Offeror expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time or from time to time, regardless of whether or not the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase for the Offer have been satisfied, subject to applicable law, to extend the Expiration Date for the Offer, or to amend in any respect or to terminate the Offer, in each case by giving written or oral notice of such extension, amendment or termination to the tender agent.

The Offeror has appointed Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC to act as dealer managers for the Offer, and has retained Global Bondholder Services Corporation to serve as the information agent and the tender agent.  Requests for documents may be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation by telephone at +1 (212) 430-3774 (banks and brokers) or +1 (855) 654-2014 or email at [email protected].  Questions regarding the Offer may be directed to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. by telephone at +1 (855) 287-1922 (U.S. toll free) or +1 (212) 250-7527 (collect) or Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC by telephone at +1 (800) 828-3192 (U.S. toll free) or +1 (212) 902-6351 (collect).

This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to purchase nor the solicitation of an offer to sell any Certificates.  The Offer is being made only pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and the related Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.  The Offer is not being made to holders of Certificates in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.  None of the Offeror, the Dealer Managers, the Information Agent, the Tender Agent or any of their respective affiliates makes any recommendation in connection with the Offer.  Please refer to the Offer to Purchase for a description of terms, conditions, disclaimers and other information applicable to the Offer.
