Deal financing is complete and the company expects accretion in 2027, but the 9.3% share increase and ~$43.8M annual coupon create offsetting dilution and expense until post-close per-share results are reported.

The AI's read

Ryman completed the equity and debt financing needed to buy Grande Lakes, making the funding stack visible and enabling the deal to close. However, the 5.865 million new shares (≈9.3% increase) and $700M of 6.25% notes (≈$43.75M annual interest) materially raise the per-share dilution and cash-interest burden. The company expects the asset to be accretive to Adjusted FFO per share in 2027, but that outcome is not yet realized, leaving opposing forces roughly balanced.
