SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 30, 2025--

STORE Capital LLC (“ STORE ”, “ STORE Capital ” or the “ Company ”), an internally managed net-lease real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests in S ingle T enant O perational R eal E state, today announced that it completed the issuance of $625.0 million of long-term fixed-rate notes designated as STORE Master Funding Net-Lease Mortgage Notes, Series 2025-1 (the “ Notes ”). This is the fourteenth note issuance under STORE’s Master Funding debt program, its proprietary structured debt financing vehicle.

The Notes were issued in six classes in a private placement to premier institutional buyers. Notes aggregating $536.0 million were rated AAA by S&P Global Ratings (“ S&P ”) and include $107.2 million of 5-year Class A-1 notes issued at an interest rate of 4.76%, $268.0 million of 7-year Class A-2 notes issued at an interest rate of 4.98% and $160.8 million of 10-year Class A-3 notes issued at an interest rate of 5.19%. Notes aggregating $89.0 million were rated AA by S&P and include $17.8 million of 5-year Class A-4 notes issued at an interest rate of 4.95%, $44.5 million of 7-year Class A-5 notes issued at an interest rate of 5.17% and $26.7 million of 10-year Class A-6 notes issued at an interest rate of 5.39%. The weighted average interest rate of the Notes is 5.06%. The weighted average life of the Notes is 7.32 years. The net proceeds of the transaction will be used to fund growth.

“I am incredibly excited to announce the closing of our fourteenth and largest Master Funding transaction in STORE history. This offering saw significant oversubscription allowing for an upsize of the transaction from $450 million to $625 million. The strong demand resulted in a substantial reduction of the weighted average credit spread by 34 bps to 112 bps, as compared to our last issuance. In addition, for the first time, STORE offered 5-, 7- and 10-year notes providing for an optimized laddering of maturities while securing even longer-term financing. This was accomplished while maintaining a flat credit spread between 7- and 10-year issuances for both AAA and AA classes,” said Mary Fedewa, STORE Capital’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “I would like to thank all of our investors for their tremendous support. Further, the success of this issuance and the Master Funding program is a direct result of the dedication and discipline of the entire STORE team to our mission of providing long-term real estate financing solutions to middle market and larger companies.”

The Notes are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The Notes may only be offered and sold in the United States in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful under the laws of such jurisdiction.
