The notes will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers or certain non‑U.S. persons, are not registered under the Securities Act, and their closing is not conditioned on completion of the acquisition; if the acquisition fails, the securities will be repaid at 100% plus accrued interest. » More on de.investing.com

Ryman Hospitality announced the acquisition of the Grande Lakes Orlando Resort for $1.38 billion and at the same time is conducting a guaranteed public placement of 5.1 million common shares with a 30‑day overallotment option of up to 765,000 shares to partially finance the deal. The announcement triggered a roughly 4.4% pre-market drop in the stock to $116.80 as investors assessed the immediate dilution and heavy debt financing. The resort includes, among other assets, a JW Marriott (1,010 rooms), a Ritz-Carlton (582 rooms), extensive meeting space and an 18‑hole golf course; Ryman expects a positive impact on adjusted FFO per diluted share from 2027. Closing is planned for the third quarter of 2026, and market reactions also reflect the sensitivity of hospitality REITs to interest-rate expectations. » More on de.investing.com
