RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. announced the closing on a $99.1 million, 5.25% fixed rate, 10-year commercial bank real estate loan (subject to one adjustment in five years), with a 20-year amortization schedule.
The new loan refinances $85.7 million of existing bank and seller-financed real estate debt; provides $12.3 million in cash that will be used to pay off existing, high-interest unsecured debt, enabling those creditors to provide financing for the pending acquisition of 11 clubs and related real estate that RCI announced July 26, 2021; and funds $1.1 million in closing costs.
The new real estate loan will result in a reduction of interest expense and principal payments by $1.4 million and $3.8 million in the first year, respectively, and the elimination of $7.1 million in future balloon payments over the next 24 months.
Eric Langan, President & CEO of RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc., said, “We’re pleased to execute this consolidation and refinancing loan at favorable commercial bank rates and terms.”
