HASI Announces Proposed Private Offering of $500 Million Green Senior Unsecured Notes to Invest in Near-Term Opportunities at Attractive Yields

Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (“HASI,” “our,” or the “Company”) (NYSE: HASI), a leading investor in climate solutions, today announced, subject to market conditions, a private offering of $500 million in aggregate principal amount of green senior unsecured notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) by its indirect subsidiaries, HAT Holdings I LLC (“HAT I”) and HAT Holdings II LLC (“HAT II,” and together with HAT I, the “Issuers”). At issuance, the Notes will be guaranteed by the Company, Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure, L.P. and Hannon Armstrong Capital, LLC. The primary rationale for the issuance is to fund ten identified near term opportunities in the pipeline across Behind-the-Meter, Grid-Connected and Fuels, Transport, and Nature markets and at weighted average anticipated yield of approximately 11%, resulting in mid-teen Return on Equity.

The Company intends to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds of the offering to acquire, invest in or refinance, in whole or in part, new and/or existing eligible green projects and for general corporate purposes, but in all cases the Company will use cash equal to the net proceeds from this offering to acquire, invest in or refinance, in whole or in part, new and/or existing Eligible Green Projects. These eligible green projects may include projects with disbursements made during the twelve months preceding the issue date of the Notes and those with disbursements to be made following the issue date. Additional investment opportunities have also already been identified and are consistent with the Company’s normal course investment profile. Prior to the full investment of such net proceeds, the Company intends to invest such net proceeds in interest-bearing accounts and short-term, interest-bearing securities which are consistent with the Company’s intention to qualify for taxation as a REIT during any period that the Company intends to so qualify.

The Notes and the related guarantees will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related guarantees will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state securities laws.
