Bayview MSR completes acquisition of Guild Holdings

Guild Holdings (GHLD), Guild Mortgage Company, and Bayview Asset Management jointly announced that Bayview MSR Opportunity Master Fund, L.P., a fund managed by Bayview, has completed its all-cash acquisition of GHLD. On June 18, 2025, GHLD announced that it had signed a definitive agreement under which a fund managed by Bayview would acquire all of the outstanding shares of GHLD’s common stock for $20.00 per share in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $1.3 billion in aggregate equity value. Shares of GHLD’s publicly traded common stock ceased trading and were delisted from the NYSE in connection with the completion of the acquisition. “Joining Bayview’s platform strengthens Guild’s commitment to grow our national brand, and it creates one of the strongest and most compelling mortgage origination and servicing ecosystems in the nation,” said Terry Schmidt, CEO of Guild. “The Guild leadership team is excited to bring our expertise in distributed retail origination, retained servicing, and the customer-for-life business model to the MSR Fund. This relationship will further enhance our mission to deliver the promise of homeownership in communities across the country while fueling innovation and long-term growth.”
