FrontView REIT, Inc. (NYSE: FVR) (the “Company”, “FrontView”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), today announced the entry into an agreement providing for a $75 million delayed-draw convertible perpetual preferred equity investment led by Maewyn Capital Partners (“Maewyn”).
“We are proud to announce this growth equity investment, which marks a major endorsement of our strategy and platform,” said Stephen Preston, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FrontView. “We believe this is a bespoke capital commitment and positions us to accelerate AFFO per share growth through our disciplined acquisition of high-quality frontage properties to continue building a best-in-class net lease portfolio.”
“Partnering with Maewyn provides FrontView with a highly experienced real estate investment partner who recognizes both the quality of our company and the opportunities ahead. We believe their institutional perspective and strategic support will also help accelerate our next phase of disciplined, accretive growth,” said Pierre Revol, EVP and Chief Financial Officer of FrontView.
“It is rare to find a company with such a high-quality, well-diversified asset base. That durability, coupled with a seasoned and uniquely qualified management team, gives us real confidence in FrontView,” said Charles P. Fitzgerald, Founder and Managing Partner of Maewyn. “Our investment provides the capital to build on this foundation and continue to grow the Company into what we think, over time, will be a best-in-class net lease REIT. We are proud to join the team and look forward to supporting FrontView’s growth for many years to come.”
The Company expects to use the capital to fund 2026 acquisitions of approximately $100 million for highly trafficked, well-located assets with frontage.
Highlights of Terms of the Delayed-Draw Convertible Perpetual Preferred:
- The Company will sell a total of $75 million of Series A convertible perpetual preferred stock (“Convertible Preferred Shares”), either in full or in multiple tranches. All capital must be called within one year from today's date.
- 6.75% per annum dividend yield, payable quarterly in cash, which will step-up after the fourth anniversary of the final draw, if the Convertible Preferred Shares are still outstanding.
- Holders have the option to convert the Convertible Preferred Shares into common shares of FrontView at $17.00 per share (“Conversion Price”) at any time. Two years after the final draw, the Company has the option to convert the Convertible Preferred Shares to common shares, the volume-weighted average price exceeds 17.5% above the Conversion Price for 30 consecutive trading days.
- The Company may redeem the Convertible Preferred Shares at par at any time, after the third anniversary of the final draw. If the Convertible Preferred Shares are redeemed, FrontView will issue a warrant to the holders at $17.00 per share with a 5-year term.
- The Convertible Preferred Shares do not have a make-whole provision or make-whole grid commonly found in redemption features of convertible securities.
- Maewyn will have the right to appoint one representative to FrontView’s board of directors. Charles P. Fitzgerald will be the initial designee with any replacement director requiring approval from FrontView. He brings extensive REIT sector and investment management experience across a career spanning nearly 30 years, including portfolio management positions at JP Morgan Investment Management, High Rise Capital Management and V3 Capital Management, which he founded and served as its Managing Partner.
Strategic Rationale and Benefits:
- Attractive cost of capital: Provides FrontView with a lower cost of capital than issuing common equity at current price levels. The conversion price represents over 30% premium to our recent trading level and will be accretively deployed to buy assets with frontage.
- Favorable terms: Bespoke transaction with attractive terms to FrontView, including ability to redeem the security at par after three years, no make-whole provisions or dividend adjustments to the conversion price, a delayed draw feature allowing FrontView to match acquisition timings with capital availability and the right to force conversion after two years.
- Accelerates growth: Immediately accretive to AFFO as it is drawn. Projected to add approximately 3% AFFO per share accretion when fully deployed, assuming an estimated capitalization rate of acquisitions of 7.25%.
- Reinforces platform strategy: Validates the FrontView portfolio and business strategy of targeting frontage-based properties that provide tenants with excellent visibility, customer convenience, and brand-building opportunities.
- Alignment: Adding Mr. Fitzgerald to the board of directors strengthens FrontView’s corporate governance. Additionally, a separate Maewyn affiliate owns 944,064 shares of common stock previously purchased before this transaction, representing 3.4% of our common shares outstanding.
