Oat Hill No. 2 Securitisation Launched and Priced
The Board of UK Mortgages Limited ("UKML", or the "Company") and TwentyFour
Asset Management LLP ("TwentyFour") are pleased to announce that following the
announcement on Wednesday 8th July 2020, that the Company had mandated banks
and announced the public marketing of the Oat Hill No.2 securitisation, the
transaction was successfully launched and priced late on Friday afternoon 10th
July 2020.
This transaction refinances the previous Oat Hill No.1 deal that had originally
been intended to be completed in May 2020, but was delayed due to the market
disruption ensuing from the Covid-19 outbreak. TwentyFour and the Company are
extremely pleased that they are able to return to the pre-Covid-19 strategy at
the earliest opportunity.
This transaction will also allow the Company to return to its previously stated
proposal of using excess capital to enable share buybacks whilst the Company's
share price continues to trade at a discount to the NAV.
However, investors should note that the settlement date for this transaction is
timed to coincide with the next interest payment date of the previous Oat Hill
No.1 transaction at the end of August 2020, and so any capital released will
not be available until after then.
As previously stated, whilst securitisation spreads have retraced to such an
extent that a full securitisation became possible, they have not recovered to
the levels seen in February, prior to the Covid-19 outbreak, and therefore
whilst this transaction is expected to release a significant amount of capital,
that release will now most likely be around the lower of the previously stated
GBP30m - GBP50m range rather than the upper end as indicated in February. In the
immediate future, the Company and TwentyFour will be revising cashflow
forecasts, which will take into account financing the Company's contractual
lending commitments, along with the effects that income deferment from the
government's payment holiday scheme and its subsequent extension until at least
October this year might have on future capital availability, as well as
reviewing the previously reduced dividend.
Once this is completed, a further announcement will be made by the Company and
TwentyFour will host a video update or webinar to further inform investors on
timing and quantum.
