RYZE (fka Yard Reaas), a real estate advisory and property management firm that belongs to AnaCap since April 2024, signed an agreement for acquiring Spain’s competitor Krata Sociedad de Tasación upon receiving the authorization of Banco de España (see here a previous post by BeBeez). RYZE reportedly signed a partnership with Paris-listed Tikehau Capital that will provide acquisition financing facilities. BeBeez data say that RYZE directors decided to issue a non-convertible secured PIK bond worth up to 80 million euros and maturing in 2033 (see here the meeting notes available for the subscribers to BeBeez News Premium and BeBeez Private Data). The at par issued bond pays a coupon amounting to the Euribor rate plus an initial margin of 5.25%, which may fluctuate between 4.75% and 6% depending on the company’s level of net leverage. A pledge over RYZE’s shares that parent company Axe Bidco provide, assignments of intra-group receivables, and a pledge over the relevant securities account that may add following the dematerialisation of the shares are the collateral for the bonds. Banca Finanziaria Internazionale acts as the bondholders’ representative, Aether Financial Services as guarantees representative. Ryze will also invest part of such proceeds in refinancing its liabilities. Iñigo Amiano Bergara, partner & chairman, and ceo Javier Anaya Mohino will keep leading Krata that will pursue further buys in the Iberia region. Emanuele Bellani, Paolo Datti and Paolo Perrella head Ryze. BeBeez Private Data, the private capital database of BeBeez and FSI, monitors AnaCap, Tikehau Capitaland their investments.
