VAUGHAN,
ON, Sept. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GFL
Environmental Inc. (NYSE: GFL) (TSX: GFL) ("GFL") today announced
that it is planning to participate in, subject to market and other
conditions, an offering (the "Bond Offering") of US$210 million in aggregate principal amount of
Florida Development Finance Corporation (the "Issuer") Solid
Waste Disposal Revenue Bonds (the "Bonds"). The Issuer will loan
the proceeds of the Bonds to a subsidiary of GFL to finance or
refinance certain solid waste disposal facilities located in the
State of Florida. The loan is an
unsecured obligation that will be guaranteed by GFL and certain of
its subsidiaries.
GFL is opportunistically pursuing the Bond Offering in advance
of the maturity of its 3.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2025, with a
view to moving more of its debt from secured to unsecured,
consistent with an investment grade capital structure, extending
its related debt maturities and preserving balance sheet
flexibility.
The Bonds being offered in the Bond Offering have not been, and
will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), and may not be offered or sold in
the United States absent
registration or an applicable exemption from registration
requirements. The Bonds are being offered only to qualified
institutional buyers as defined under Rule 144A of the Securities
Act.
This release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a
solicitation of an offer to buy any security, nor shall there be
any offer, solicitation or sale of any security in any state or
jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, or sale would be
unlawful.
