CHICAGO (PRWEB) October 18, 2021 - Ziegler, a specialty investment bank, is pleased to announce the successful closing of Holland Homes Series 2021 Bonds.

Holland Home is a Michigan not-for-profit corporation headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan and was formed in 1892. Holland Home was the first registered continuing care retirement community in the state of Michigan and provides independent living, home for the aged, adult foster care and skilled nursing facilities and services for the elderly. Holland Home currently operates 12 facilities on two campuses (for a total of 1,167 units) and ranks as #42 on the 2020 LeadingAge Ziegler 200 by total senior living units.

The Series 2021 Bonds were issued through the Economic Development Corporation of the City of Kentwood, and consisted of $9,905,000 of tax-exempt Series 2021 Bonds. In concurrence with the pricing of the Series 2021 Bonds, $32,960,000 of tax-exempt Series 2022 Bonds were priced as well. The Series 2022 Bonds are forward delivery bonds and are scheduled to close on February 16, 2022.

Proceeds from the Series 2021 Bonds will be used to pay or reimburse Holland Home for capital improvements to its Breton Woods campus. Proceeds from the Series 2022 Bonds will be used to refund Holland Homes outstanding Series 2012 Bonds. The refunding of the Series 2012 Bonds resulted in nearly $9 million (~25%) of net present value savings at the time of the Series 2022 Bonds pricing.

The Series 2021 and 2022 Bonds are tax-exempt fixed rate term bonds with maturities in 2045 and 2043, respectively, and were structured to achieve aggregate level debt service. The Series 2021 and 2022 Bonds are optionally callable in 7 years at 103% declining to par and are rated BBB- by Fitch. The final pricing of the Series 2021 and 2022 Bonds provides for a weighted yield-to-maturity of 3.21%.
