Business Wire
Maxar Technologies Inc. (NYSE:MAXR) (TSX:MAXR), a trusted
partner and innovator in Earth Intelligence and Space
Infrastructure, today announced the closing of its sale of $150
million aggregate principal amount of 7.54% senior secured notes
due 2027 (the “Notes”). The Notes were offered and sold to
qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to
Rule 144A and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”).
The Notes are senior, first-priority secured obligations of the
Company initially guaranteed on a senior, first-priority secured
basis by the Company’s subsidiaries that are guarantors under its
existing syndicated credit facility and its 9.750% Senior Secured
Notes due 2023.
Proceeds from the Notes are expected to be used for general
corporate purposes, including to finance the purchase price payable
upon our exercise of an option to purchase all the outstanding
equity interests not currently owned by the Company or its
subsidiaries of Vricon, Inc., the holding company for a joint
venture in which the Company holds 50% (the “Vricon Acquisition”).
If the Vricon Acquisition is not consummated, the Company may use
the proceeds for any other general corporate purposes.
The Notes and the guarantees have not been and will not be
registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(“Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any other
jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States
absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration
requirements.
This press release is neither an offer to sell nor the
solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities,
and no offer, solicitation or sale will be made in any jurisdiction
in which, or to any persons to whom, such an offer, solicitation or
sale is unlawful. Any offers of the Notes will be made only by
means of a private offering memorandum. This press release is being
issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the
Securities Act.
Separately, the Company settled the previously announced
repurchase of $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 9.750%
Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (the “Existing Notes”). The Existing
Notes were repurchased at a price 112.45% of the principal amount
thereof.
