Aya New York gets bondholder consent for early Israeli market exit
Bondholders backed Aya New York’s plan to leave Israel’s capital markets, with 99.6 percent voting for the buyout. The Manhattan real estate firm, led by Amir Shriki, will repay its bonds at full par value roughly two and a half years ahead of maturity and without a prepayment fee. Aya intends to fund the repayment with an approximately $104 million U.S. bank loan arranged by JLL Capital Markets.
Aya New York, a Manhattan real estate company headed by Amir Shriki, has received bondholder approval to withdraw from Israel’s capital markets. The buyout proposal won 99.6% support.
The firm will redeem its bonds at full face value about two and a half years before scheduled maturity, with no early-repayment charge. It plans to cover the redemption using a roughly $104 million loan from a U.S. bank, arranged by JLL Capital Markets.
The early redemption may affect Israeli bond investors by returning capital sooner than planned, potentially prompting them to seek new allocations. Aya’s U.S. financing could signal continued cross-border real estate funding, though broader market effects remain uncertain. Tenants, employees, and local communities tied to the firm’s Manhattan properties may see little immediate change, while lenders and bondholders may bear the main near-term consequences.
