Pagaya Closes Upsized $500 Million 8.875% Senior Unsecured Notes Offering, Signaling Strong Investor Confidence
The transaction marks a significant milestone in Pagaya's evolution as a public company, establishing it as one of the first fintechs to access the high-yield unsecured debt markets. Backed by strong demand from many of the world's leading institutional investors, the deal was upsized and approximately 5 times oversubscribed.
'Executing a $500 million high-yield offering with significant investor demand is a milestone that reflects the strength of our financial profile and the institutional support of our platform,' said Gal Krubiner, Co-Founder and CEO of Pagaya. 'This achievement strengthens our ability to scale, drive sustained profitability, and deliver long-term shareholder value.'
By refinancing legacy debt and eliminating associated debt amortization, Pagaya further improves its GAAP Net Income profitability and expects to generate approximately $40 million of annualized cash flow savings, based on first quarter 2025 performance, resulting from the following: ~$30 million in reduced debt amortization (a portion of the annualized first quarter 2025 payments made to secured borrowings and long-term debt) and approximately $12 million in annual interest expense reduction. The transaction is expected to lower Pagaya's cost of debt by nearly 200 basis points, while maintaining generally flat net leverage.
This offering builds on Pagaya's capital strategy, establishing repeatable access to public debt markets, enhancing capital flexibility, and broadening its long-term investor base. The Company is now rated by all three major credit agencies: S&P, Moody's, and Fitch.
'This transaction is the result of our disciplined financial strategy designed to strengthen our financial foundation, accelerate profitability, and unlock shareholder value,' said Evangelos Perros, CFO of Pagaya. 'By replacing higher cost secured debt with long term unsecured capital, we are improving our operating leverage, cash generation, and strategic positioning in the marketplace.'

Battlefield 6's Game-Changing Multiplayer and More Revealed During Blockbuster Global Event
Today, during a live global multiplayer reveal event, Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) and Battlefield Studios unveiled Battlefield 6™, the ultimate all-out warfare experience. Launching on October 10, Battlefield 6 is available on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (Steam™, EA App, Epic Games Store). This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: BATTLEFIELD 6 During the blockbuster event, Battlefield Studios provided a first look at new and returning multiplayer modes, a tantalizing sneak peek of the global scale blockbuster Single Player campaign and of course the evolution of Battlefield Portal. BATTLEFIELD 6 OFFICIAL MULTIPLAYER GAMEPLAY TRAILER The year is 2027. The world is on the edge of chaos. After a high-profile assassination shocks the world, major European countries have left NATO, while the US and its allies grapple with the fallout. A massive private military corporation unafraid to cross lines, with deep pockets and the latest tech, looks to fill the power vacuum. This army is PAX ARMATA. What's left of NATO is in tatters, wounded and battered. This is the world of Battlefield 6. Battlefield 6 introduces a host of new features, including the all-new Kinesthetic Combat System, which brings enhancements to movement and gunplay. This gives players an unprecedented level of mobility, offering new tactical options such as Drag and Revive to pull teammates out of danger and back from the brink, and mounting weapons on walls to reduce recoil. The iconic class system returns better than ever, with Assault, Recon, Support, and Engineer, empowering players to define their role on the battlefield. The four roles have been enhanced, designed to empower players to push their team towards victory, each with class-specific gadgets, signature weapons and dedicated training. Destruction also returns, but enhanced to offer an unparalleled level of freedom, letting players transform the combat zone, to create new paths, flank enemies and dominate the battle. Battlefield 6 will launch with a robust package of multiplayer modes and maps, taking the fight around the world from Egypt, to Gibraltar and the streets of New York. Each map features multiple combat zones, hand-crafted and tailored to suit specific modes, ensuring each fight is designed to compliment the player experience and provide a variety of play options. Fan favorite multiplayer modes return in Battlefield 6, with classic staples making an appearance, including Conquest, Breakthrough, and Rush. Players will also experience a host of fast-paced and intense first-person shooter staples, including Team Deathmatch, Squad Deathmatch, Domination and King of the Hill. While a brand new mode called Escalation sees two teams fight to capture strategic control points. 'We knew when we set out to create the future of Battlefield, we had to nail the fundamentals of what players have loved about the series for more than 20 years,' said Byron Beede, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Battlefield. 'We're back in our all-out warfare playground, with four world-class teams developing the game as a single squad known as Battlefield Studios. Criterion, DICE, Motive, and Ripple Effect have put their heart and soul into this next Battlefield and we're thrilled to have shared our first look with you today and can't wait to see you playing next weekend during the Open Beta.' Battlefield 6 also launches with an all-new and improved iteration of Portal – the creative toolset that lets you redraw the lines of war. Portal is more powerful and streamlined than ever before, giving players brand new tools to create completely unique content called Community Experiences. Ambitious post-launch support will continue to add more modes, maps, weapons, and other features to the game on a consistent basis. 'I've worked on a lot of titles over the years and can confidently say that Battlefield 6 is something special,' said Vince Zampella, Executive Vice President. 'We can't wait to show more of Battlefield 6 's intense tactical combat and epic warfare in the months to come, leading up to its release on October 10."
