ITEM 7.01. REGULATION FD
On April 13, 2016, Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate plc (“KWE,” LSE: KWE) announced a draw down under its Euro Medium Term Note Programme (the “Programme”) that it established in November 2015, with the issuance of €150 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be consolidated and form a single series with the €400 million 3.25% notes due 2025 that KWE issued in November 2015. The transaction is currently expected to close on or around April 19, 2016.
The Notes will be issued at a yield of 3.039% and will mature on November 12, 2025. The Notes, along with KWE and the Programme, are rated BBB (outlook stable) by Standard & Poor’s. On or about the closing date, the Notes are expected to be listed on the official list of the London Stock Exchange and admitted to trading on its regulated market. The Notes will rank pari passu with KWE’s outstanding senior unsecured bonds.
Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) currently owns approximately 20.27% of the total issued share capital of KWE. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Jersey also serves as KWE’s external manager pursuant to an investment management agreement.
The information in this report is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
The Notes are being sold only outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to United States persons (within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act) absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
