OMAHA, Nebraska -- America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. (NASDAQ: ATAX) (the “Partnership”) announced today that the Kroll Bond Rating Agency (“KBRA”) assigned the Partnership an initial senior unsecured issuer rating of ‘BB+’ with a stable outlook.
KBRA commented on the Partnership’s moderate leverage and the favorable characteristics of affordable housing properties securing the Partnership’s investments.
“We are pleased to announce our new senior unsecured issuer rating from KRBA,” said Kenneth C. Rogozinski, Chief Executive Officer of the Partnership. “We believe this initial rating, which is only one notch below investment grade, is a strong signal to our lenders and stakeholders of the Partnership’s financial position.”
About America First Multifamily Investors, L.P.
America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. was formed on April 2, 1998 under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act for the primary purpose of acquiring, holding, selling and otherwise dealing with a portfolio of mortgage revenue bonds which have been issued to provide construction and/or permanent financing for affordable multifamily, student housing and commercial properties. The Partnership is pursuing a business strategy of acquiring additional mortgage revenue bonds and other investments on a leveraged basis.
