Real estate services company Kennedy-Wilson Holdings said that it has received a capital commitment of up to $250 million from Fairfax Financial Holdings to make commercial real estate acquisitions and purchase loans and real property.
The partnership follows Kennedy's
announcement in May that it raised $100 million from Toronto-based insurance and investment
company Fairfax in a
private placement of convertible preferred stock.
Fairfax's investment will yield a 6% annual coupon and convert to common stock at $12.61 per share by May 2015.
Beverley Hills, Calif.-based
Kennedy-Wilson went public last
November in an all-stock deal, valued at the
time at $255.3 million, with the SPAC Prospect Acquisition Corp. The SPAC had about $9.94 per share in trust.
Following the close, the company moved up to the main board on the New York Stock Exchange, with shares hitting a low of $8.90 in early December before steadily gaining ground to close yesterday at $11.01. Warrants, traded over-the-counter, were last quoted yesterday at $1.55.
