New World Development (NWD) has announced its intention to redeem its $453.9mn 6.15% Perp callable in March 2025, citing economic reasons. The developer said that forgoing the call option would lead to a new coupon that is higher than the company’s average funding cost of 5%. Looking at the perp’s terms considering today’s rates, if not called, the new coupon would reset to 10.731%, going by the US 3Y Treasury yield plus a spread of 620.1bp. The perp is currently trading at 96.31, yielding 11.77% to call, and are up over 3 points this week.
