Business context and event
Ready Capital Corporation filed this Form 8-K on September 28, 2026, to report the closing of a subsidiary’s private placement of new senior secured notes and the redemption of existing notes. This is a financing update, not a periodic earnings report.
Key financial and financing details
| Notes | Principal | Coupon and maturity | Transaction |
|---|---|---|---|
| New notes issued by ReadyCap Holdings II, LLC | $225.0 million | 10.00%; due 2031 | Offering closed September 28, 2026 |
| Existing notes of ReadyCap Holdings, LLC | $350.0 million outstanding | 4.50%; due 2026 | Entire amount redeemed September 28, 2026, at 100% of principal plus accrued and unpaid interest |
The face amount of the new notes is $125.0 million below the redeemed principal. Based only on stated principal and coupon rates, the new notes imply $22.5 million of annual stated interest versus $15.75 million on the redeemed notes, a $6.75 million increase; actual financing impact may differ and is not detailed in the filing. The filing does not specify proceeds, transaction costs, or the amount of accrued interest paid.
Changes versus prior disclosure
The company had previously disclosed the pricing of the $225.0 million note offering in its September 18, 2026 Form 8-K. This filing confirms that the offering closed and the previously announced redemption was completed on September 28.
