Texas homebuilder and land developer Green Brick Partners (GRBK) has announced they are selling a new perpetual preferred stock issue.
The $25/share issue will be cumulative .
There will be an optional early redemption starting in 2026.
Egan Jones rates the issue A.
The preliminary prospectus is here.
EarlyBird was on top of this one and posits a potential yield in the 5.50% to 5.75% area.
The last several preferred and bbs are definitely not my cup of tea including this one. Here is to hoping patience pays off and we get something decent that I can work with personally.
With Partners in the name I assume this is a K-1 generator, right? I didn’t bother to look, particularly due to my adversity to perpetuals…I own a few, but not many.
This appears to not be a traditional limited partnership that issues K-1’s.
William E – it is a c corp – the name is a bit misleading.
C-corporation. pays dividends and has significant retained earnings, so no chance of return of capital.
They are not a partnership. They are a corporation, so no K-1. The prospectus filed with the SEC names them as “Green Brick Partners, Inc. ” and says they were incorporated in Delaware. (In the Exec Summary: “Green Brick Partners, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 11, 2006.”)
The divvies are ordinary income if earned (or ROC if not) and are qualified, according to the tax information item in the 12/15 Prospectus update at S26.
In any event, a confusing name. At first, I thought they were a cannabis seller.
Hmm… previously called BioFuel Energy Corp. Quite the change.
58.3% owned by David Einhorn (Greenlight Partners) and former owner of the builder. ( Unless there have been changes) Pretty good sized co.
