MIAMI BEACH, FL, September 29, 2025/PRNewswire/ -- Starwood Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE: STWD) (the “Company”) today announced that it has priced its private offering of $550 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.750% unsecured senior notes due 2031 (the “Notes”), which was upsized from the previously announced $500 million aggregate principal amount. The Notes priced at 100.0% of the principal amount and the settlement of the offering is expected to occur on October 14, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Company intends to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, recently completed or future eligible green and/or social projects. Net proceeds allocated to previously incurred costs associated with eligible green and/or social projects will be available for the repayment of indebtedness previously incurred.

The Notes were 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 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.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
