OneMain Holdings, Inc. Announces Closing of $600 Million Social ABS Bond

By: OneMain Holdings, Inc. via Business Wire

OneMain Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: OMF) (“OMH”), the leader in offering nonprime customers responsible access to credit, has closed its second Social Bond issuance, a $600 million ABS Bond, through its direct, wholly-owned subsidiary OneMain Finance Corporation (“OMFC”).

This transaction is the first ever Social ABS Bond by a U.S. issuer and supports OneMain’s continued efforts to promote financial inclusion in underserved communities by providing equitable access to credit. Loans will be made to borrowers residing in rural communities, at least 75% of whom are lower-income borrowers with annual net incomes of less than or equal to $50,000.

“Our second Social Bond transaction underscores OneMain’s commitment to individuals in need of responsible credit and builds on our inaugural Social Bond,” said OneMain Chairman and CEO Doug Shulman. “Financial inclusion is a key value for our company, and we remain focused on exploring new and innovative ways to reach historically underserved borrowers and provide much-needed access to credit.”

The terms of the ABS bond are more fully outlined in the 2022 ABS Social Bond Framework, and S&P Global Ratings issued a second party opinion with respect to the framework. Both documents are available on OneMain’s Investor Relations website.

OneMain leveraged longstanding relationships with diverse broker-dealers to complete this transaction, including service-disabled veteran-owned Academy Securities, Inc., and woman-owned R. Seelaus & Co., LLC, who served as co-managers. Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Mizuho Securities USA LLC, and Natixis Securities Americas LLC served as joint book-runners.

Commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility

OneMain is committed to helping create long-term, positive impact for our customers, communities and team members through our corporate social responsibility program.

In June 2021, OneMain issued its inaugural Social Bond with an aggregate principal amount of $750 million. The proceeds of this Social Bond are financing loans in credit-underserved areas of the United States, as defined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. In addition, at least 75% of the funds in these underserved areas will be distributed to women or minority borrowers, who historically have had fewer options for securing credit. In recognition of this important achievement, OneMain received the “Social Project Bond of the Year” award from Environmental Finance.

OneMain has also launched Credit Worthy by OneMain Financial in partnership with EVERFI. This program provides free financial education for high school students, with a focus on helping students understand the importance of credit and develop healthy credit habits early. By the end of 2022, the Credit Worthy by OneMain Financial curriculum will be taught in at least 1,500 high schools.
