Morning Commentary: Calendar builds up with deals from Colony, Urstadt Biddle; PS Business frees

By Stephanie N. Rotondo

Seattle, Sept. 13 – The preferred stock market’s new issue calendar continued to build up early Wednesday, as two real estate investment trusts were added.

Colony NorthStar Inc. said it was offering $100 million of series J cumulative redeemable preferreds, with price talk in the 7.125% area.

BofA Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, UBS Securities LLC and RBC Capital Markets LLC are the joint bookrunners.

The company intends to use proceeds from the deal to redeem some or all of its 8.25% series B cumulative redeemable preferreds (NYSE: CLNSPrB) and its 8.875% series C cumulative redeemable preferreds (NYSE: CLNSPrC).

Both of those issues were on the weaker side at mid-morning.

Meanwhile, Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. announced a $100 million offering of series H cumulative redeemable preferred stock.

Price talk is 6.25% to 6.375%.

BMO Capital Markets Corp. and Wells Fargo Securities LLC are running the books.

Like Colony, Urstadt plans to use proceeds to redeem another outstanding preferred issue, the 7.125% series F cumulative redeemable preferred stock (NYSE: UBPPrF).

Also like Colony, the issue eyed for redemption was trading lower in early dealings.

As for deals from Tuesday’s business, PS Business Parks Inc.’s $200 million of 5.25% series X cumulative preferreds freed to trade in early dealings, getting a temporary ticker of “PSBBP.”

Paper was trading at $24.75 at mid-morning, with over 2 million shares already being exchanged.

Price talk was 5.25% to 5.375%. The deal was upsized from $100 million.

BofA Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo led the deal.
