New Issue: Leisureworld prices C$46 million extendible convertibles to yield 4.65%, up 35%

By Rebecca Melvin

New York, April 25 - Leisureworld Senior Care Corp. priced C$46 million extendible convertible debentures on a bought-deal basis to yield 4.65% and with an initial conversion premium of 35%, according to company news releases.

Leisureworld also priced 6.35 million subscription receipts at C$12.40 per receipt for total proceeds of C$124.79 million.

Proceeds from both offerings will be used to finance in part the acquisition of a portfolio of properties in Ontario from Specialty Care Inc. for C$254 million.

If the acquisition closes by Jan. 2, 2014, the convertibles' maturity will be automatically extended to June 30, 2018.

The offerings were underwritten by a syndicate led by TD Securities Inc.

The Regulation S debentures are not callable until June 30, 2016, and then they are provisionally callable for one year if shares trade at more than 125% of the conversion price for 20 out of 30 trading days. After June 30, 2017, the debentures are freely convertible.

Markham, Ont.-based Leisureworld owns and operates health care-related senior facilities and provides nursing, health care aids and support workers for the facilities.
