GOEASY LTD. ANNOUNCES PRICING OF US$400 MILLION OF SENIOR UNSECURED NOTES
goeasy Ltd. has priced $400-million (U.S.) aggregate principal amount of 7.375 per cent senior unsecured notes due 2030. The notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of goeasy's current and future subsidiaries. Concurrently with the offering, goeasy expects to enter into a currency swap agreement to fix the foreign currency exchange rate for the proceeds from the offering, which it expects will reduce the effective cost of borrowing of the notes when converted into Canadian currency.
goeasy estimates the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $566.4-million, based on the Bank of Canada daily rate on March 21, 2025, for the Canadian-dollar/U.S.-dollar exchange rate, after deducting fees and estimated offering expenses, and subject to adjustment as a result of the currency swap. goeasy intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to partially repay indebtedness under its secured facilities and for general corporate purposes.
The offering of the notes is expected to close on April 1, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
