On
June 29, 2022, FTAI Infrastructure LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (
“FTAI Infrastructure”) and a subsidiary of Fortress Transportation and
Infrastructure Investors LLC (the
“Company”), announced the pricing of its private offering of $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.500% senior secured notes due 2027 (the
“Notes”). The Notes will be issued at an issue price equal to
94.585% of principal, plus accrued interest from and including
July 7, 2022. The offering is being made in connection with the proposed distribution by
the Company of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of FTAI Infrastructure Inc. (the
“spin-off”). Prior to the consummation of the spin-off, FTAI Infrastructure will convert to a Delaware corporation and will change its name to FTAI Infrastructure Inc. The Notes will initially be issued through a subsidiary of FTAI Infrastructure,
FTAI Infra Escrow Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
“Escrow Issuer”). Upon consummation of the spin-off, the Escrow Issuer will be merged with and into FTAI Infrastructure Inc. and FTAI Infrastructure Inc. will become the
issuer of the Notes. Following the spin-off, FTAI Infrastructure Inc. will hold, directly or indirectly, all of
the Company’s infrastructure business. FTAI Infrastructure Inc. intends to distribute the net proceeds from the offering to
the Company in
connection with the spin-off.
The Company intends to use a portion of such net proceeds from the offering to repay certain of its outstanding indebtedness. The closing of the offering is subject to certain limited conditions.
The Notes were offered in the United States to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to persons outside of the United States under Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and, unless
so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
The information in this Form 8-K filed pursuant to Item 8.01 does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy
the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any
such jurisdiction.
