Colony Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: CLNY) today announced it has priced 10,000,000 shares of 7.125% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. In addition, the Company has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase an additional 1,500,000 shares of the 7.125% Series C Preferred Stock on the same terms and conditions solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The offering is expected to close on or about April 13, 2015, subject to customary closing conditions. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Barclays, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, RBC Capital Markets and UBS Investment Bank are acting as joint book-running managers for the offering. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, a Stifel Company, is acting as co-manager.

The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, will be approximately $242 million, or approximately $278 million if the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised in full. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the offering to repay amounts outstanding under its secured revolving credit facility. These proceeds may be redeployed to acquire its target assets in a manner consistent with its investment strategies and investment guidelines, to fund commitments to private equity funds and vehicles it sponsors and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
