Invitation Homes Gives Notice of Intent for Physical Settlement of 2019 Convertible Notes

DALLAS, Jan. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Invitation Homes Inc. (NYSE: INVH) ("Invitation Homes" or the "Company") today announced that on December 28, 2018 the Company notified holders of its 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (the "Notes"), which mature on July 1, 2019, of the Company's intent to settle conversions of the Notes with common shares.  The par value of the Notes outstanding is $230 million.

Invitation Homes has the option to settle conversions of the Notes in cash, common shares, or a combination thereof.  The Company believes that a common share settlement is the option most aligned with its stated balance sheet strategy of reducing leverage and pursuing an investment grade rating.

For all note holders electing conversion on or before June 27, 2019, the Notes will be exchanged for common shares according to a prescribed conversion ratio.  As of September 30, 2018, the conversion ratio was 53.7294 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.  This conversion ratio is subject to adjustment, through the date of maturity, for cash dividends paid to common stockholders and other potential transactions as described in Section 10.04(d) of the indenture for the Notes.  In the event that note holder(s) do not elect conversion by June 27, 2019, such Notes would be repaid in cash at the par value of the Notes on the maturity date.

Assuming the September 30, 2018 conversion ratio of 53.7294 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, settlement of the $230 million (par value) of Notes would result in the issuance of approximately 12.4 million common shares and a reduction in cash interest expense of approximately $6.9 million on an annualized basis.

On a pro forma basis, whereby net debt is reduced for the impact of the conversion of the Notes, net debt / annualized Adjusted EBITDAre at September 30, 2018 would have been 9.1x, versus 9.4x as reported by the Company in its third quarter 2018 Earnings Release and Supplemental Information.
