Senior Notes
On May 21, 2024, NMI Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) closed its registered public offering of $425 million aggregate principal amount of 6.000% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). The offering of the Notes was made pursuant to the prospectus supplement dated May 7, 2024 and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 9, 2024 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) and the prospectus dated May 7, 2024 that forms a part of the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-279160) filed with the SEC on May 7, 2024.
The Notes were sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated May 7, 2024, between the Company and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Truist Securities, Inc. acting as representatives of the underwriters named therein. The Notes were issued under the Indenture, dated as of May 21, 2024 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 21, 2024 (the “Supplemental Indenture,” and the Base Indenture as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee.
The net proceeds from the offering were approximately $414.3 million after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes (i) to satisfy and discharge (and subsequently redeem) all of the Company’s outstanding 7.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) and (ii) for general corporate purposes. On May 10, 2024, the Company delivered a Conditional Notice of Redemption to the holders of the 2025 Notes stating that the 2025 Notes will be redeemed on May 22, 2024.
The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.000% per annum from May 21, 2024. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2025. The Notes will mature on August 15, 2029.
Prior to July 15, 2029 (one month prior to the maturity date), the Company may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the redemption price described in the Supplemental Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. On or after July 15, 2029, the Company may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The Indenture limits the ability of (i) the Company and its subsidiaries to incur liens on, or sell, capital stock of certain subsidiaries and (ii) the Company to consolidate or merge, or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets. The Indenture also contains customary event of default provisions.
The Notes will be the Company’s unsecured, unsubordinated obligations, ranking equally with all of the Company’s other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness outstanding from time to time. The Notes will rank senior in right of payment to any of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes. The Notes will be effectively subordinated in right of payment to any of the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all existing and any future indebtedness and any other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries.
Please refer to the Prospectus Supplement for additional information regarding the offering and the terms and conditions of the Notes. The foregoing description of the Indenture is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Base Indenture and Supplemental Indenture, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.
