Resource Capital Corp. Announces Pricing of $346 Million CLO Backed by Self-Originated Commercial Mortgage Loans

NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 02/11/15 -- Resource Capital Corp. (NYSE: RSO) (the "Company") announced that its newly formed subsidiary, Resource Capital Corp. 2015-CRE3, Ltd. (the "Issuer"), will issue approximately $282 million of non-recourse, floating-rate notes ("Offered Notes") at a weighted average cost of LIBOR+190 basis points (the "CLO"). The Company will retain the subordinated notes and the preferred shares in the CLO, equal to approximately $64 million ("Invested Equity"), which represents an advance rate of 81.5%. The Company expects to earn a return on its Invested Equity of 17-19% over the life of the CLO, inclusive of fees and expenses. The Offered Notes are collateralized by 20 floating rate commercial real estate first mortgage loans originated by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company with a principal balance of $400.6 million, inclusive of pari passu future funding participations that will be held by the Company outside of the CLO. The anticipated closing date of the CLO is on or about February 24, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Dave Bloom, Head of Real Estate for the Company, said, "We are extremely pleased to have priced our third successful CLO in the past 14 months. Starting with our first CLO, in December of 2013, we have financed in excess of $1 billion of collateral through these transactions. Another strong execution in RSO 2015-CRE3 again provides validation by the market of our ability to originate and structure high quality, floating rate, transitional loans. RSO's forward pipeline remains full and we look forward to accessing the CLO market on a regular basis to match fund our commercial mortgage loan portfolio as we continue to scale our well established nationwide lending platform."
