Safehold Secures $225 Million in Long-Term Debt Financing

Safehold GL Holdings has finalized a private placement of $225 million in senior unsecured notes maturing in August 2056. By utilizing a structured stairstep coupon and leveraging a $30 million gain from terminated hedges, the company aims to optimize its debt maturity profile while funding ongoing ground lease investments.

The financing arrangement, priced on May 28, 2026, carries an all-in coupon of 6.615% based on a 30-year Treasury rate of 4.99% plus a 162.5 basis point spread. To manage cash flow, the notes employ a stairstep structure starting at a 4.00% cash interest rate, which incrementally increases to 6.615% by year 21. Any difference between the stated rate and the cash interest paid will accrue and be added to the principal balance for repayment at maturity.

Accounting for the $30 million cash settlement gain from recent hedge terminations, Safehold anticipates an effective semi-annual yield to maturity of roughly 5.83%. CFO Brett Asnas noted that the offering successfully attracted both U.S. and U.K. investors, allowing the firm to align its capital structure with its long-term asset base. The company intends to direct the proceeds toward reducing revolver borrowings, working capital requirements, and funding new property commitments. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC acted as the lead placement agent, supported by RBC Capital Markets.
