Kennedy Wilson and APG Form €2 Billion Residential Joint Venture to Develop and Manage over 3,400 Private Rented Homes in IrelandJune 4, 2026 3:01 AM
Business Wire Platform to develop three sites in Dublin, delivering approximately 2,300 new homes Kennedy Wilson (NYSE: KW), a global real estate investment company, announces the formation of a new residential joint venture with APG, on behalf of, amongst others, Dutch pension fund ABP, one of the world's largest pension investors, to create a €2 billion residential development and asset management platform. The venture will encompass more than 3,400 private rented homes across both operating and development assets, further strengthening Kennedy Wilson’s position as the leader in residential real estate in the Irish market. Upon completion of the developments, Kennedy Wilson’s owned and managed Irish portfolio will extend to approximately 6,900 residential units. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260604996457/en/Player Wills - Dublin, Ireland A Platform Built for Scale The joint venture comprises two complementary investment opportunities. The first sees Kennedy Wilson acquire a minority equity interest in APG's existing Cherrywood portfolio in south Dublin, one of Ireland's largest multi-family communities. The over 1,100-unit portfolio is already fully developed and occupied, and APG will retain a majority interest. The second will also see Kennedy Wilson acquire a minority equity interest in, and develop and deliver, approximately 2,300 new private rented sector units across the Player Wills, Bailey Gibson and Clonliffe sites. Development of Player Wills, Bailey Gibson and Clonliffe Sites Once developed, all three sites will transform long-derelict industrial and institutional land in established Dublin neighbourhoods into vibrant new residential communities. Each site holds full planning permission, with construction commencing immediately on over 700 units at the former Player Wills cigarette factory on the South Circular Road in Dublin 8. Construction on the remaining 1,500+ units across the Bailey Gibson and Clonliffe schemes is expected to commence early 2027. John Keegan, Head of Capital Formation, EMEA at Kennedy Wilson, commented: “This joint venture marks a significant milestone for Kennedy Wilson in Ireland and represents a compelling opportunity to partner with one of the world's largest pension funds to deliver much-needed private rental homes at scale. These developments span from the regeneration of former industrial sites at Player Wills and Bailey Gibson to the landmark Clonliffe development. They are all projects that will transform communities, create lasting amenities for local residents, and make a meaningful contribution to supporting Ireland's housing delivery targets. “As a long-term investor in Ireland over the past 15 years, we are proud to have been one of the most active developers and asset managers in Ireland, delivering more than 1,800 homes in Dublin and having stewardship for a portfolio of approximately 3,500 owned units today. Our proven track record of delivery, combined with our ambition to further grow this platform through future development, reflects our continued confidence in the Irish market and Kennedy Wilson’s long-term commitment to Ireland.” Robert-Jan Foortse, Head of Real Estate Europe, APG, commented: “We are pleased to enter into this partnership with Kennedy Wilson, marking an important next step for APG in Ireland and reflecting our continued conviction in the Irish residential market. Building on the strong progress we have seen at Cherrywood, this portfolio and pipeline can deliver high-quality homes at scale, help transform neighborhoods and contribute to vibrant, sustainable communities in a market with acute demand for housing. "We believe long-term institutional capital like ours can play an important role in supporting the delivery of well-managed housing and creating places where people want to live. For our pension fund clients and their participants, this is the type of long-term residential investment we seek, combining attractive financial fundamentals with meaningful social relevance, with the latter further cementing the long-term resilience of the former.” About Kennedy Wilson Kennedy Wilson (NYSE: KW) is a leading real estate investment company with $36 billion of assets under management in high growth markets across the United States, the UK and Ireland.

Kennedy Wilson Announces Pricing of $1.8 Billion Senior Notes OfferingMay 14, 2026 5:09 PM
Business Wire Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. (the “Issuer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of global real estate investment company Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Kennedy Wilson”), today announced the pricing of the previously announced private offering (the “Offering”) of $1.8 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior notes, consisting of $1.1 billion of 7.000% senior notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) and $700 million of 7.250% senior notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes” and, together with the 2031 Notes, the “Notes”) pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). If the Merger (as defined and discussed below) is consummated, the Company expects to use the net proceeds from the Offering (i) to redeem in full the Issuer’s 4.750% senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Existing Notes”) and 4.750% senior notes due 2030 (the “2030 Existing Notes”), and pay any related premiums, if any, fees and expenses, including accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the 2029 Existing Notes and 2030 Existing Notes, (ii) to make an offer to purchase the 5.000% senior notes due 2031 (the “2031 Existing Notes”) pursuant to the fundamental change provisions of the indenture governing the 2031 Existing Notes, and (iii) the remainder, if any, to repay all or a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under the Issuer’s unsecured credit facility and/or for general corporate purposes. As previously announced, the Company is party to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of February 16, 2026, as amended on March 25, 2026, by and among the Company, Kona Bidco, LLC and Kona Merger Subsidiary, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), an entity affiliated with a consortium led by William McMorrow, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and certain other senior executives of the Company, and including Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (“Fairfax”) (collectively, the “Consortium”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, Merger Sub would merge with and into the Company, and the Company would continue as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Guarantees”). If the Offering closes prior to the consummation of the Merger, the gross proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be deposited into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”). If the Merger is not consummated on or prior to November 16, 2026 (or such later date as agreed to by the parties to the Merger Agreement), the Notes will be subject to a special mandatory redemption, at a price (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”) equal to 100% of the initial issue price of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, from the issue date of the Notes to, but not including, the date of such special mandatory redemption. Fairfax, directly or through one or more of its affiliates, has committed to fund any shortfall between the amount of funds held in the Escrow Account and the Special Mandatory Redemption Price. This press release is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. The Notes and the Guarantees are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) and to certain persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and, accordingly, are subject to significant restrictions on transfer and resale.

Forward-Looking Statements Statements made by us in this report and in other reports and statements released by us that are not historical facts constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the judgment of our senior management based on our current estimates, expectations, forecasts and projections and include comments that express our current opinions about trends and factors that may impact future operating results. Disclosures that use words such as "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "may," "could," "plan," "expect," "project" or the negative of these, as well as similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events, many of which are outside of our control, and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results, performance or achievement, or industry results, to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties may include the factors and the risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the Item 1A. "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as amended by our subsequent filings with the SEC. Any such forward-looking statements, whether made in this report or elsewhere, should be considered in the context of the various disclosures made by us about our businesses including, without limitation, the risk factors discussed in our filings with the SEC. Except as required under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not have any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, or otherwise. Common Definitions · “KWH,” "KW," “Kennedy Wilson,” the "Company," "we," "our," or "us" refers to Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. · “Adjusted EBITDA” represents net (loss) income before interest expense, loss (gain) on early extinguishment of debt, our share of interest expense included in unconsolidated investments, depreciation and amortization, our share of depreciation and amortization included in unconsolidated investments, preferred dividends, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, our share of taxes included in unconsolidated investments, share-based compensation expense for the Company, and EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests. Please also see the reconciliation to GAAP in the Company’s supplemental financial information included in this release and also available at www.kennedywilson.com. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to analyze our business because it adjusts net income for items we believe do not accurately reflect the nature of our business going forward or that relate to non-cash compensation expense or noncontrolling interests. Such items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Additionally, we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assist them in getting a more accurate picture of our results from operations. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and when analyzing our operating performance, readers should use Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not remove all non-cash items or consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The amount shown for Adjusted EBITDA also differs from the amount calculated under similarly titled definitions in our debt instruments, which are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used to determine compliance with financial covenants and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt and making certain restricted payments. · "Adjusted Fees" refers to Kennedy Wilson’s gross investment management and property services fees adjusted to include Kennedy Wilson's share of fees eliminated in consolidation, and performance fees included in unconsolidated investments. Our management uses Adjusted Fees to analyze our investment management and business because the measure removes required eliminations under GAAP for properties in which the Company provides services but also has an ownership interest. These eliminations understate the economic value of the investment management and property services fees and makes the Company comparable to other real estate companies that provide investment management but do not have an ownership interest in the properties they manage. Our management believes that adjusting GAAP fees to reflect these amounts eliminated in consolidation presents a more holistic measure of the scope of our investment management and real estate services business. · "Adjusted Net Income" represents net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, Kennedy Wilson's share of depreciation and amortization included in unconsolidated investments, share-based compensation, and excluding net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, before depreciation and amortization. Please also see the reconciliation to GAAP in the Company’s supplemental financial information included in this release and also available at www.kennedywilson.com. · "Baseline EBITDA" is a non-GAAP measure representing net (loss) income less total income from unconsolidated investments, gain (loss) on sale of real estate, net, other income (loss) and non-controlling interest, plus share-based compensation, carried interest compensation, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt, benefit from (provision for) income taxes, NOI from unconsolidated investments (at KW’s share) and fees eliminated in consolidation. · "Cap rate" represents the net operating income of an investment for the year preceding its acquisition or disposition, as applicable, divided by the purchase or sale price, as applicable. Capitalization ("Cap") rates discussed in this report only include data from income-producing properties. The Company calculates cap rates based on information that is supplied to it during the acquisition diligence process. This information is not audited or reviewed by independent accountants and may be presented in a manner that is different from similar information included in the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, cap rates represent historical performance and are not a guarantee of future net operating income ("NOI"). Properties for which a cap rate is discussed may not continue to perform at that cap rate. · "Carried interests” refers to amounts that are allocated to the Company under Funds and the Co-Investment investments based on the cumulative performance of such venture and are subject to preferred return thresholds of the partners of such venture. In the case of Funds, carried interests represent an allocation relating to the performance of investment management services, whereas in the case of a Co-Investment, carried interests represent returns for the performance of the underlying investments in the Co-Investment investments structures subject to collaborative decision-making. · "Carried interests compensation” refers to any carried interests earned by certain commingled funds and separate account investments to be allocated to certain non-NEO employees of the Company, as approved by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors. · "Equity partners" refers to non-wholly-owned subsidiaries that we consolidate in our financial statements under U.S. GAAP and third-party equity providers. · "Estimated Annual NOI" is a property-level non-GAAP measure representing the estimated annual net operating income from each property as of the date shown, inclusive of rent abatements (if applicable). The calculation excludes depreciation and amortization expense, and does not capture the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures, tenant improvements, and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties. For assets wholly-owned and fully occupied by KW, the Company provides an estimated NOI for valuation purposes of $4.3 million, which includes an assumption for applicable market rents. Any of the enumerated items above could have a material effect on the performance of our properties. Also, where specifically noted, for properties purchased in 2026, the NOI represents estimated Year 1 NOI from our original underwriting. Estimated year 1 NOI for properties purchased in 2026 may not be indicative of the actual results for those properties. Estimated annual NOI is not an indicator of the actual annual net operating income that the Company will or expects to realize in any period. Please also see the definition of "Net operating income" below. Please also see the reconciliation to GAAP in the Company’s supplemental financial information included in this release and also available at www.kennedywilson.com. · "Fee-Bearing Capital" represents total third-party committed or invested capital that we manage in our joint-ventures, commingled funds, and debt platform that entitle us to earn fees, including without limitation, asset management fees, construction management fees, acquisition and disposition fees and/or promoted interest, if applicable. · "Gross Asset Value” refers to the gross carrying value of assets, before debt, depreciation and amortization, and net of noncontrolling interests. · "Net operating income" or "NOI” is a non-GAAP measure representing the income produced by a property calculated by deducting certain property expenses from property revenues. Our management uses net operating income to assess and compare the performance of our properties and to estimate their fair value. Net operating income does not include the effects of depreciation or amortization or gains or losses from the sale of properties because the effects of those items do not necessarily represent the actual change in the value of our properties resulting from our value-add initiatives or changing market conditions. Our management believes that net operating income reflects the core revenues and costs of operating our properties and is better suited to evaluate trends in occupancy and lease rates. Please also see the reconciliation to GAAP in the Company’s supplemental financial information included in this release and also available at www.kennedywilson.com. · "Noncontrolling interests" represents the portion of equity ownership in a consolidated subsidiary not attributable to Kennedy Wilson. · "Principal co-investments” consists of the Company’s share of income or loss earned on investments in which the Company can exercise significant influence but does not have control. Income from unconsolidated investments includes income from ordinary course operations of the underlying investment, gains on sale, fair value gains and losses. · "Pro-Rata" represents Kennedy Wilson's share calculated by using our proportionate economic ownership of each asset in our portfolio. Please also refer to the pro-rata financial data in our supplemental financial information. · "Property NOI" or "Property-level NOI" is a non-GAAP measure calculated by deducting the Company's Pro-Rata share of rental and hotel property expenses from the Company's Pro-Rata rental, hotel and loans and other revenues. Please also see the reconciliation to GAAP in the Company’s supplemental financial information included in this release and also available at www.kennedywilson.com. · "Real Estate Assets under Management" ("AUM") generally refers to the properties and other assets with respect to which the Company provides (or participates in) oversight, investment management services and other advice, and which generally consist of real estate properties or loans, and investments in joint ventures. AUM is principally intended to reflect the extent of the Company's presence in the real estate market, not the basis for determining management fees. AUM consists of the total estimated fair value of the real estate properties, total loan commitments made through our debt investment platform, inclusive of both currently outstanding loan amounts and contractual future fundings, and other real estate-related assets either owned by third parties, wholly-owned by the Company or held by joint ventures and other entities in which its sponsored funds or investment vehicles and client accounts have invested. The estimated value of development properties is included at estimated completion cost. The accuracy of estimating fair value for investments cannot be determined with precision and cannot be substantiated by comparison to quoted prices in active markets and may not be realized in a current sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability (particularly given the ongoing macroeconomic conditions such as, but not limited to recent adverse developments affecting regional banks and other financial institutions, and ongoing military conflicts around the world and uncertainty with respect to fluctuating interest rates continue to fuel recessionary fears and create volatility in Kennedy Wilson's business results and operations). Recently, there has also been a lack of liquidity in the capital markets as well as limited transactions which has had an impact on the inputs associated with fair values. Additionally, there are inherent uncertainties in any fair value measurement technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including capitalization rates, discount rates, liquidity risks, and estimates of future cash flows could significantly affect the fair value measurement amounts. All valuations of real estate involve subjective judgments. · "Same property" refers to stabilized consolidated and unconsolidated properties in which Kennedy Wilson has an ownership interest during the entire span of both periods being compared. This analysis excludes properties that during the comparable periods (i) were acquired, (ii) were sold, (iii) are either under development or undergoing lease up or major repositioning as part of the Company’s asset management strategy, (iv) were investments in which the Company holds a minority ownership position, and (v) certain non-recurring income and expenses. The analysis only includes Office, Multifamily and Hotel properties, where applicable. To derive an appropriate measure of operating performance across the comparable periods, the Company removes the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements by using the reported period-end exchange rate to translate from local currency into the U.S. dollar, for both periods. Amounts are calculated using Kennedy Wilson’s ownership share in the Company’s consolidated and unconsolidated properties. Management evaluates the performance of the operating properties the Company owns and manages using a “same property” analysis because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, which allows management and investors to analyze (i) the Company’s ongoing business operations and (ii) the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating the Company’s properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. Same property metrics are widely recognized measures in the real estate industry, however, other publicly-traded real estate companies may not calculate and report same property results in the same manner as the Company. Please also see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Certain Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of “same property” results to the most comparable measure reported under GAAP. Note about Non-GAAP and certain other financial information included in this presentation In addition to the results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") included within this presentation, Kennedy Wilson has provided certain information, which includes non-GAAP financial measures (including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Net Operating Income, and Adjusted Fees, as defined above). Such information is reconciled to its closest GAAP measure in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and such reconciliations are included within this presentation. These measures may contain cash and non-cash acquisition-related gains and expenses and gains and losses from the sale of real-estate related investments. Consolidated non-GAAP measures discussed throughout this report contain income or losses attributable to non-controlling interests. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to both management and Kennedy Wilson's shareholders in their analysis of the business and operating performance of the Company. Management also uses this information for operational planning and decision-making purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures are not and should not be considered a substitute for any GAAP measures. Additionally, non-GAAP financial measures as presented by Kennedy Wilson may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Annualized figures used throughout this release and supplemental financial information, and our estimated annual net operating income metrics, are not an indicator of the actual net operating income that the Company will or expects to realize in any period.

Business Wire
Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. (the “Issuer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of global real estate investment company Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Kennedy Wilson”), today announced that it has elected to terminate, effective immediately, its previously announced offers to exchange (the “Exchange Offers”) any and all of its outstanding 4.750% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Existing 2029 Notes”), 4.750% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Existing 2030 Notes”) and 5.000% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Existing 2031 Notes” and collectively, the “Existing Notes”) for the Issuer’s newly issued 6.125% Senior Notes due 2032 or 6.375% Senior Notes due 2034 (collectively, the “New Notes”). The Issuer has also elected to terminate, effective immediately, its solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitations”) to the adoption of certain amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the indentures governing the Existing Notes.


As a result of the termination of the Exchange Offers, none of the Existing Notes that have been tendered in the Exchange Offers will be accepted for exchange for New Notes, and no New Notes will be issued to holders of Existing Notes who have validly tendered their Existing Notes in the Exchange Offers. In addition, as a result of the termination of the Consent Solicitations, the Proposed Amendments will not be adopted, and the Existing Notes will remain subject to the indentures that currently govern the Existing Notes. All Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn will be promptly returned to the respective tendering holder.


Consummation of the previously announced proposed acquisition of the Company by a consortium led by William McMorrow, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and certain other senior executives of the Company, together with Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited is not conditioned on the consummation of the Exchange Offers or Consent Solicitations (the “Merger”). The Company currently expects the Merger to close in the second quarter of 2026.

This press release is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. The Exchange Offers were made and the New Notes were offered only to “qualified institutional buyers” and holders outside the United States that are not “U.S. persons” as such terms are defined under the Securities Act.

Forward-Looking Statements


This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are made pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and any applicable Canadian securities regulations. These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the judgment of the Company’s senior management based on the Company’s current estimates, expectations, forecasts and projections and include comments that express the Company’s current opinions about trends and factors that may impact future results. Disclosures that use words such as “believe,” “may,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “plan,” “expect,” “project” or the negative of these, as well as similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual results in future periods to differ materially from those projected or contemplated in the forward-looking statements. The inclusion of such statements should not be regarded as a representation that such plans, estimates or expectations will be achieved. There is no assurance that the Merger will be consummated, and there are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements made herein as a result of various factors, including, without limitation: (1) the inability to consummate the Merger within the anticipated time period, or at all, due to any reason, including the failure to obtain the necessary stockholder approval, or the failure to satisfy the other conditions to the consummation of the Merger; (2) the risk that the Merger may be terminated in circumstances requiring the Company or Fairfax, as the case may be, to pay a termination fee; (3) the risk that the Merger disrupts the Company’s or Fairfax’s current plans and operations or diverts management’s attention from its ongoing business; (4) the effect of the announcement of the Merger on the ability of the Company to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with those with whom it does business; (5) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Merger on the Company’s or Fairfax’s operating results and business generally; (6) the significant costs, fees and expenses related to the Merger; (7) the risk that the Company’s or Fairfax’s stock price may decline significantly if the Merger is not consummated; (8) the nature, cost and outcome of any litigation and other legal proceedings, including any such proceedings related to the Merger and instituted against the Company, Fairfax and/or their respective directors, executive officers or other related persons; (9) other risks that could affect the Company’s or Fairfax’s business, financial condition or results of operations, including those set forth in (i) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent filings, or (ii) Fairfax’s most recently issued Annual Report, which is available at www.fairfax.ca, and in its Base Shelf Prospectus (under “Risk Factors”) filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada, which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca; and (10) other risks to the consummation of the Merger, including the risk that the Merger will not be consummated within the expected time or at all. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events, many of which are outside of the Company’s or Fairfax’s control, and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s or Fairfax’s actual results, performance or achievement, or industry results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties may include the risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this press release and other filings with the SEC and with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada. Any such forward-looking statements, whether made in this press release or elsewhere, should be considered in the context of the various disclosures made by the Company or Fairfax, as applicable, about its businesses including, without limitation, the risk factors discussed in the Company’s and Fairfax’s filings with the SEC and the securities regulatory authorities in Canada.


If the Merger is consummated, the Company’s stockholders will cease to have any equity interest in the Company and will have no right to participate in its earnings and future growth. These and other factors are identified and described in more detail in (i) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is available online at www.sec.gov, as well as the Company’s subsequent filings, and (ii) Fairfax’s most recently issued Annual Report, which is available at www.fairfax.ca, and in its Base Shelf Prospectus (under “Risk Factors”) filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada, which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date thereof.

Business Wire
Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. (the “Issuer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of global real estate investment company Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Kennedy Wilson”), today announced that it has commenced offers to exchange (the “Exchange Offers”) any and all of its outstanding 4.750% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Existing 2029 Notes”), 4.750% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Existing 2030 Notes”) and 5.000% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Existing 2031 Notes” and collectively, the “Existing Notes”) held by Eligible Holders (as defined below) for the Issuer’s newly issued Senior Notes due 2032 (the “Option A Notes”) or Senior Notes due 2034 (the “Option B Notes” and, together with the Option A Notes, the “New Notes”), as validly elected by such Eligible Holders and subject to the Option Caps (as defined below), Deemed Elections (as defined below), the Minimum Liquidity Condition (as defined below) and proration as described in the Offering Memorandum (as defined below).


The Exchange Offers are being made in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Company pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 16, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Kona Bidco, LLC and Kona Merger Subsidiary, Inc.

Eligible Holders must validly elect to receive either Option A Notes or Option B Notes as their consideration (an “Election” and collectively, the “Elections”). The maximum aggregate principal amount of Option A Notes that may be issued in the Exchange Offers is $906,000,000 (the “Option A Cap”), and the maximum aggregate principal amount of Option B Notes that may be issued in the Exchange Offers is $906,000,000 (the “Option B Cap” and, together with the Option A Cap, the “Option Caps”), in each case, in the aggregate across all series of Existing Notes and both Exchange Offers. The Option A Notes and the Option B Notes will also each be subject to a minimum of $400 million in aggregate principal amount being issued as a result of the Exchange Offers (the “Minimum Liquidity Condition”). If, as a result of the Elections made by holders, less than $400 million aggregate principal amount of a series of Notes would be issued, then certain holders that elected to receive the other series of Notes will be deemed to have elected to receive such series of Notes (a “Deemed Election”) as further described in the Offering Memorandum. The Company may waive the Minimum Liquidity Condition in its sole discretion and without notice to the holders.








(2)







In addition to the consideration described above, the Issuer will pay in cash accrued and unpaid interest on the Existing Notes accepted in the Exchange Offer from the latest interest payment date to, but not including, the issue date of the New Notes.







The New Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by the same guarantors that currently guarantee the Existing Notes, including, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Guarantee”). The Guarantee will rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of the guarantors, rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the guarantors, be effectively subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future secured indebtedness of the guarantors, to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness. The indentures governing the New Notes contain certain covenants that impose restrictions on the Issuer and certain of its subsidiaries, which are substantially identical to the covenants in the indentures governing the Existing Notes, with certain exceptions described in the Offering Memorandum.


In connection with the Exchange Offers, the Issuer is soliciting (the “Consent Solicitations” and, together with the Exchange Offers, the “Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations”) consents (the “Consents”) to the adoption of certain amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the indentures governing the Existing Notes. Eligible Holders who tender their Existing Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offers must also deliver Consents to the Proposed Amendments. Eligible Holders may not deliver Consents to the Proposed Amendments without also validly tendering their Existing Notes and may not tender their Existing Notes without also delivering Consents to the Proposed Amendments. The Proposed Amendments, as applicable, will be set forth in a supplemental indenture to the indenture governing each series of the Existing Notes.


Prior to the launch of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, certain holders of the Existing Notes (the “Supporting Holders”), representing approximately 19% of the Existing 2029 Notes, approximately 35% of the Existing 2030 Notes, approximately 27% of the Existing 2031 Notes, and approximately 27% of the Existing Notes in the aggregate, have agreed to support the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations.


The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made solely to Eligible Holders upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the confidential offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement (the “Offering Memorandum”) and the related procedures, including through The Depositary Trust Company’s ATOP procedures set forth therein (together with the Offering Memorandum, the “Exchange Offer Materials”).


Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offers, Eligible Holders that validly tender their Existing Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 13, 2026 (the “Early Participation Date”), unless extended, and whose tenders are accepted for exchange by the Issuer, will be eligible to receive the total exchange consideration set out in the table above (the “Total Consideration”), which includes an early participation premium. Elections are subject to the Option Caps, Deemed Elections, Minimum Liquidity Condition and proration described in the Offering Memorandum.


Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offers, Eligible Holders that validly tender, and do not validly withdraw, their Existing Notes after the Early Participation Date but at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 30, 2026 (the “Expiration Date”), as may be extended, and whose tenders are accepted for exchange by the Issuer, will be eligible to receive only the exchange consideration set out in the table above (the “Exchange Consideration”), which excludes the early participation premium. The Issuer expects to issue the New Notes promptly on or about the second business day following the Expiration Date (the “Settlement Date”).


Tenders of Existing Notes may only be withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 13, 2026 (the “Withdrawal Deadline”), unless extended. The Issuer may extend the Early Participation Date without extending the Withdrawal Deadline.


Interest on the New Notes will accrue from the Settlement Date and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on October 15, 2026. The Option A Notes will accrue interest at 6.125% per year. The Option B Notes will accrue interest at 6.375% per year. The Option A Notes will mature on October 15, 2032. The Option B Notes will mature on October 15, 2034.


Consummation of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum, including (i) the consummation of the Merger and (ii) the receipt of valid Consents to the Proposed Amendments from holders of at least a majority of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of each series of Existing Notes. The Issuer may, in its sole discretion, waive any of these conditions or terminate or amend the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations at any time, subject to applicable law.


The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are being made only (a) in the United States, to holders of Existing Notes who are reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers,” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and (b) outside the United States, to holders of Existing Notes who are not “U.S. persons” (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) in offshore transactions in compliance with Regulation S. Only holders of Existing Notes who have properly completed and returned an eligibility certification certifying that, among other things, they are (i) a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or (ii) not a “U.S. person” and outside of the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, are authorized to participate in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations (such holders, the “Eligible Holders”).


The complete terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are described in the Offering Memorandum, copies of which may be obtained by Eligible Holders by contacting D.F. King & Co., Inc., the exchange agent and information agent, by phone (toll-free) at (800) 967-7635 or by email at kw@dfking.com, or by visiting www.dfking.com/kw. Holders of Existing Notes that are not Eligible Holders will not be able to receive such documents but may contact the information agent for further instructions.


This press release is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. The Exchange Offers are being made and the New Notes are being offered only to “qualified institutional buyers” and holders outside the United States that are not “U.S. persons” as such terms are defined under the Securities Act. The New Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and, accordingly, are subject to significant restrictions on transfer and resale as more fully described in the Offering Memorandum. The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum.

Kennedy Wilson Enters into Agreement to be Acquired by Consortium Led by William McMorrow and Fairfax FinancialFebruary 17, 2026 6:30 AM
Business Wire
Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (“Kennedy Wilson” or the “Company”) and Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited (TSX: FFH and FFH.U) (“Fairfax”), today jointly announced that the Company has entered into a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) providing for Kennedy Wilson to be acquired, in an all cash-transaction, by an entity affiliated with a consortium led by William McMorrow, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and certain other senior executives of the Company (collectively, the “KW Management Group”), together with Fairfax (collectively, the “Consortium”).


Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Consortium will acquire all outstanding common shares of Kennedy Wilson other than certain shares owned by the members of the Consortium and their respective affiliates for $10.90 per share in cash (the “Transaction”). The per share purchase price represents a 46% premium to Kennedy Wilson’s unaffected share price as of November 4, 2025, the last trading day prior to a publicly disclosed proposal received by the Company after market close on November 4, 2025 from the Consortium to acquire Kennedy Wilson (the “Consortium Proposal”). Each member of the Consortium has entered into a voting and support agreement whereby each has agreed to vote in favor of the Transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.


Concurrent with entering into the Merger Agreement, Fairfax has entered into a commitment letter pursuant to which Fairfax has committed to provide the Consortium with funding up to an aggregate amount of $1.65 billion, which is the amount necessary to fund the cash purchase price in respect of the Transaction, the redemption of those preferred shares of the Company not owned by the Consortium, and certain other amounts required to be paid under the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Transaction is not subject to a financing condition. Following consummation of the Transaction, the KW Management Group, led by William McMorrow, will have effective and operational control of and will continue to lead and have ultimate responsibility for the Company and its subsidiaries. Fairfax is expected to have a majority of the economic interest in the Company immediately following the closing of the Transaction.


The Board of Directors of Kennedy Wilson approved the Transaction upon the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of independent directors (the “Special Committee”), in consultation with its independent financial and legal advisors. The Special Committee was formed on November 4, 2025, in response to the Consortium Proposal.


The Transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction of a number of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of (i) the approval by holders of a majority in voting power of the Company’s outstanding capital stock entitled to vote on the Transaction, (ii) the approval by a majority of the votes cast by holders of Kennedy Wilson equity securities (other than holders affiliated with the Consortium) and entitled to vote on the Transaction, and (iii) any required regulatory approvals and the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods.


Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Board of Directors of Kennedy Wilson may elect to continue to declare up to two ordinary course quarterly dividends of up to $0.12 per share to the common stockholders until the requisite stockholder approvals for the Transaction are obtained.


Upon the closing of the Transaction, Kennedy Wilson’s common shares will cease trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and will be deregistered under applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
