Key Terms

securitized financing financial
Securitized financing is a way for a company or lender to turn a group of loans or other predictable cash flows into tradable securities that are sold to investors, like bundling many small IOUs into one package. It matters to investors because it changes who bears the credit and interest-rate risk, can provide steady income streams, and affects a borrower’s balance sheet and liquidity—so it influences risk, yield and valuation decisions.
securitized notes financial
Securitized notes are loans sold to investors that are paid from the cash flows of a pool of underlying assets—such as mortgages, car loans, or business receivables—rather than from a single borrower. Think of buying a slice of a pie made from many loans: you get a share of the income and take on a share of the risk, including defaults or early repayments. Investors watch these for higher yields than plain bonds but must weigh the credit quality of the underlying assets and the deal’s structure, which affects how losses are absorbed.
variable funding notes financial
Variable funding notes are short-term debt instruments that function like adjustable-rate IOUs issued by a borrower to raise cash for a limited period. The interest rate or repayment schedule can change over time, similar to a loan with a variable interest rate, so they help issuers manage short-term funding needs. Investors care because these notes affect liquidity, yield and credit exposure — higher income potential can come with greater interest-rate and repayment risk.
revolving basis financial
A revolving basis describes an arrangement that allows repeated, ongoing use of a resource up to a set limit, where payments or repayments free up capacity to use again—much like a credit card you can borrow on, pay down, and borrow again. For investors, it signals flexible short-term funding or operational activity that can smooth cash flow and cover recurring needs, but it also implies the risk that the balance may fluctuate and interest costs can recur.
Form 8-K regulatory
A Form 8-K is a report that companies file with the government to share important news quickly, such as changes in leadership, major business deals, or financial updates. It matters because it helps investors stay informed about significant events that could affect the company's value or stock price.

$300 Million Secured Fund Fee Revenue Term Notes and $100 Million Variable Funding Notes

BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (NYSE: DBRG) (“DigitalBridge” or the “Company”) today announced the closing of two securitized financing note issuances totaling $400 million. Two of its subsidiaries, DigitalBridge Issuer, LLC and DigitalBridge Co-Issuer, LLC (together, the “Co-Issuers”), closed the previously announced offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of Series 2026-1 6.326% Secured Fund Fee Revenue Notes, Class A-2 (the “Class A-2 Notes”). Additionally, the Co-Issuers issued Series 2026-1 Secured Fund Fee Revenue Variable Funding Notes, Class A-1 (the “VFN Notes” and, together with the Class A-2 Notes, the “Series 2026-1 Notes”), which will allow the Co-Issuers to borrow up to $100 million on a revolving basis.

The proceeds from the sale of the Class A-2 Notes, net of the payment of certain offering expenses and the deposits into certain reserve accounts, were used to repay the outstanding Series 2021-1 securitization notes of the Co-Issuers. Interest payments on the Series 2026-1 Notes are payable on a quarterly basis. The anticipated repayment date of the Class A-2 Notes is June 2031, and the anticipated repayment date of the VFN Notes is June 2029 (with the allowance of two further one-year extensions, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions).

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Series 2026-1 Notes or any other security, nor will there be any sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. The Series 2026-1 Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

Additional information regarding the terms of the Series 2026-1 Notes will be described in a Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC.
