Abstract

The article focuses on Dunkin' Brands Group Inc.'s recent sale of $900 million in bonds backed by franchise fees, marking its first such offering in nearly four years. The sale includes a two-part note, with a significant portion being a $350 million security that has a weighted average life of nearly seven years and a yield of about 5.2%. Whole-business securitizations, which allow companies to borrow against franchise fees, have been utilized by other franchises like Taco Bell Corp. and Domino's Pizza Inc. Dunkin' plans to use the proceeds to repay existing bond obligations. Overall, the market for whole-business securitizations has seen a decline in activity compared to previous years.
