JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
In 2007, Kennedy Wilson issued junior subordinated debentures in the amount of $40 million. The debentures were issued to a trust established by Kennedy Wilson, which contemporaneously issued $40 million of trust preferred securities to Merrill Lynch International. The interest rate on the debentures is fixed for the first ten years at 9.06%, and variable thereafter at LIBOR plus 3.70%. Interest is payable quarterly with the principal due in 2037.
The junior subordinated debentures require Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. to maintain (i) a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the indenture governing the junior subordinated debentures) of not less than 1.75 to 1.00, measured on a four-quarter rolling basis; (ii) a ratio of total debt to net worth (as defined in the indenture) of not greater than 3.00 to 1.00 at any time; (iii) a tangible net worth (as defined in the indenture) not less than the sum of (x) $15.0 million, plus (y) 60% of any net income (but only if a positive number) for each completed fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007 until such time as our net worth equals or exceeds $75.0 million and then 50% of any net income for each completed fiscal quarter thereafter, plus (z) 50% of all proceeds of equity interests issued by us or our subsidiaries after the date the debentures were issued; and (iv) a net worth (as defined in the indenture) not less than the sum of (x) $40.0 million, plus (y) 60% of any net income (but only if a positive number) for each completed fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2007 until such time as our net worth equals or exceeds $75.0 million and then 50% of any net income for each completed fiscal quarter thereafter, plus (z) 50% of all proceeds of equity interests issued by us or our subsidiaries after the date the debentures were issued.  As of December 31, 2013, Kennedy Wilson's fixed charge coverage ratio was 3.19 to 1.00, its ratio of total debt to net worth was 1.12 to 1.00 and its tangible net worth and net worth were $744.4 million and $768.3 million, respectively, and Kennedy Wilson was in compliance with these covenants.
