HilltopSecurities Client Awarded The Bond Buyer’s Deal of the Year

12/21/2021

DALLAS, December 21, 2021The Bond Buyer recently announced that HilltopSecurities’ public finance client, Miami-Dade County (Seaport Department) has been recognized with its 2021 Deal of the Year Award. Miami-Dade County’s offering for PortMiami won the national Deal of the Year and Southeast Region Deal of the Year.

The national Deal of the Year and Southeast Regional Deal of the Year award recognized Miami-Dade County’s Seaport Revenue Refunding Bonds Series 2021A and Seaport Subordinate Revenue Refunding Bonds Series 2021B. HilltopSecurities served as financial advisor for the $1.24 billion issuance, which provided financing designed to accomplish restructuring objectives and to contend with lost cruise revenues related to COVID-19.

The financing team worked for over a year to develop the financing plan, credit structure, and rating strategy to accomplish PortMiami’s objectives. When the deal went to market, it was the largest U.S. port transaction since the COVID-19 pandemic began and marked Miami-Dade County’s largest bond deal ever completed.

The Bond Buyer selected its 2021 Deal of the Year finalists based on “creativity, the ability to pull a complex transaction together under challenging conditions, the ability to serve as a model for other financings, and the public purpose for which a deal’s proceeds were used,” according to the publication.
