Post Holdings Announces Commencement of Senior Notes Offering
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Post Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:POST) (the “Company” or “Post”) today announced it intends to commence a private offering to eligible purchasers, subject to market and other conditions, of $1,800.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2031 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be unsecured unsubordinated obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed by the Company’s existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries (other than immaterial subsidiaries, certain excluded subsidiaries and subsidiaries designated as unrestricted subsidiaries).
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the proposed offering to finance the redemption of its existing 5.00% senior notes due 2026 and to pay the costs, fees and expenses associated with the offering and the redemption. To the extent there are any remaining net proceeds, the Company intends to use such proceeds for general corporate purposes, which could include, among other things, financing acquisitions, share repurchases, retiring existing debt, working capital and capital expenditures. The final terms and amounts of the Notes are subject to market and other conditions, and may be materially different than expectations. The offering is not conditioned upon the consummation of the redemption of the Company’s 5.00% senior notes due 2026.
The Notes and the related subsidiary guarantees are being offered to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in an offering exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related subsidiary guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
This press release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security, nor shall there be any sales of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any jurisdiction. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act. This press release is not a notice of redemption with respect to the 5.00% senior notes due 2026.
