MILL VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Redwood Trust, Inc. (NYSE: RWT; “Redwood” or the “Company”) today announced that it priced approximately $40 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.75% convertible senior notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The Fed's pivot from raising to cutting rates has reduced discounts on fixed-to-floating rate preferred stocks, prompting a reevaluation of Redwood Trust 10.0% Series A Preferred (RWT.PR.A). Fixed-to-floating rate preferreds like Annaly Capital Management Series F and AGNC Investment Series C saw significant dividend increases but faced declining yields as SOFR rates dropped. RWT.PR.A offers a stable 10% yield until 2028, making it a compelling option amidst declining interest rates and potential call risks for floating-rate issues.

Redwood Trust's Series A preferred shares offer a 10% coupon but are subordinate to debentures, making them riskier in a restructuring scenario. The REIT's heavy near-term debt load and low earnings due to high rates make debentures, yielding close to 9%, more attractive. Preferred shares will perform well only in a 'goldilocks' scenario with lower mortgage rates and stable credit spreads, which is uncertain.
