Resimac prices $290m RMBS

By Andrea Lavigne | 23 Oct 2009

Resimac priced a $290m RMBS issue - the second such transaction of the year and the third under the AOFM scheme.

The transaction is the result of the AOFM mandate awarded on 30 September of  $56.4 m.

A total of 11 institutional investors participated in the transaction, including a European-based allocation.

The non-bank lender said the Class A1 Notes were significantly oversubscribed.

"In addition, four accounts also participated in the longer-dated A2 tranche that Resimac believes is a strong development and an indication of recovering investor support in the domestic RMBS market."

Three investors participated in the Class B Notes showing a good level of interest for subordinated tranches.

"The Federal Government's initiative in the domestic RMBS market has enabled liquidity to flow to issuers that have recently had restricted access to the capital markets. Importantly, this transaction will allow RESIMAC to offer competitive product in the Australian mortgage market," it said.

The transaction was arranged by Deutsche Bank AG Sydney Branch and joint-lead managed by Barclays Bank PLC, Deutsche Bank AG Sydney Branch and National Australia Bank Limited.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed Resimac's ranking as a residential loan servicer as "strong" earlier this month, and its outlook as "stable".
