Positive
  • Successfully secured $100 million in new financing through VRDM issuance
  • New VRDMs include liquidity feature providing additional security for holders
Negative
  • Mandatory redemption requirement by November 1, 2034 creates future financial obligation
  • Weekly dividend rates subject to maximum rate increases during unsuccessful remarketing periods

Insights

This private placement represents a significant refinancing of $100 million in preferred shares, effectively extending the Fund's capital structure maturity to 2034. The new VRDMs maintain the same aggregate liquidation preference while providing enhanced flexibility through weekly dividend rate adjustments. The built-in liquidity feature offers an important safety mechanism for institutional holders.

The transaction's structure, maintaining seniority over common shares while remaining junior to borrowings, preserves the Fund's existing capital hierarchy. This refinancing helps VVR optimize its leverage costs and extend its debt maturity profile, though the ultimate impact on the Fund's returns will depend on the spread between borrowing costs and investment yields in its senior loan portfolio.

ATLANTA, Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Invesco Senior Income Trust (NYSE: VVR), a diversified, closed-end management investment company, announced today the successful pricing and private placement of Variable Rate Demand Mode Preferred Shares (VRDMs), Series A and Series B, with qualified institutional buyers, as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act).  The Fund issued $50,000,000 in aggregate liquidation preference of Series A VRDMs and $50,000,000 in aggregate liquidation preference of Series B VRDMs and used the proceeds of the issuances to contemporaneously redeem its outstanding Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares (VRDPs), Series W-7, with an aggregate liquidation preference of $100,000,000, in full.

The Series A and Series B VRDMs have a term redemption date of November 1, 2034, upon which the VRDMs are subject to mandatory redemption by the Fund.  Dividends on the Series A and Series B VRDMs are set weekly at a rate established by the Fund's remarketing agent, subject to a maximum rate that will increase over time in the event of an extended period of unsuccessful remarketing.  Each Series of VRDMs includes a liquidity feature provided by a liquidity provider that allows a holder of the VRDMs to have its shares purchased by the liquidity provider in the event that a sell order by the holder has not been matched with a purchase order and successfully settled in a remarketing.

The Series A and Series B VRDMs are preferred shares of the Fund and are senior, with priority in all respects, to the Fund's common shares in liquidation and as to the payment of dividends; the VRDMs of each Series rank junior to borrowings of the Fund and on parity with each other.
