BY GlobeNewswire | CORPORATE | 06/27/24 05:00 PM EDT

BRANFORD, Conn., June 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sachem Capital Corp. (SACH) today announced that it is withdrawing its previously announced debt offering. The company had intended to offer USD-denominated unsecured, unsubordinated notes due five years from the date of issuance. The company has concluded that current market conditions regarding pricing were excessive and restrictive and, thus, not in the best interest of the company and its shareholders.

John Villano, CEO of Sachem Capital Corp. (SACH), commented: ?We want to assure our shareholders and noteholders that Sachem has ample liquidity through its existing credit facilities and liquid mortgage portfolio to continue to execute on the business consistent with past practice. In addition, Sachem will continue its disciplined underwriting and loan origination processes to maximize risk adjusted returns for shareholders and to protect our capital. Our decision to withdraw our previously announced debt offering was based solely on our determination that the proposed pricing of the offering was unfavorable to the long-term interests of Sachem?s business.?

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
