Pricing Detail for NewTekOne Baby Bonds

Below are the details on the new NewTekOne baby bonds which just priced. At 8.5% the coupon looks pretty tasty–I say this only as I remember NEWT as a business development company (BDC) that used to primarily write loans as part of the SBA (small business administration) program. I have NOT looked closely at the company as a bank holding company and have to do so before I commit funds. Of course one needs to compare this new issue to the other outstanding issues before committing to the new one–coupon isn’t the only way to decide if it is suitable.
