GFL ENVIRONMENTAL INC. PRICES UPSIZED PRIVATE OFFERING OF SENIOR SECURED NOTES
GFL Environmental Inc. has priced $1-billion (U.S.) in aggregate principal amount of 6.750 per cent senior secured notes due 2031 in a transaction that was significantly oversubscribed. The offering was upsized by $300-million (U.S.) over the previously announced offering size of $700-million (U.S.). GFL Environmental intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the notes to repay in full its term loan A facility and substantially all of the outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. After giving effect to the note offering, the percentage of GFL Environmental's fixed-interest-rate debt will shift from 72 per cent to 88 per cent. The interest rate on the notes is 35 basis points lower than the current 7.10-per-cent rate on the borrowings to be repaid, resulting in expected annualized cash interest savings of approximately $5-million. The note offering will also extend a portion of the company's debt maturity to 2031 and provide GFL Environmental with greater flexibility for future refinancings.
