Details of the Notes Offering
The privately placed senior secured notes, also known as the 'Notes', are set to be guaranteed by Mullen Group's subsidiaries, MT Investments Inc. and MGL Holding Co. Ltd. This offering will secure a first-ranking charge over all current and future assets of the Corporation and its Guarantors. Notably, the secured notes will hold a parity status with Mullen Group's existing notes that mature in July 2034, along with its bank credit facilities.
Terms of the Senior Secured Notes
With a maturity date of July 10, 2037, the Notes will consist of two principal amounts: US$50 million with a yield of 6.91% per annum and CAD$325 million with a yield of 6.04% per annum. The interest on these notes will initiate from the date of issue and will be payable semi-annually on June 7 and December 7, beginning on December 7, 2025.
Strategic Use of Proceeds
Mullen Group plans to utilize the net proceeds from this offering to repay its existing private placement debt due in October 2026. Additionally, the capital will support general corporate purposes, fueling the company's ongoing growth initiatives.
Statements from Leadership
Expressing optimism, Mr. Murray K. Mullen, Chair and Senior Executive Officer, said, "Today, we've successfully finalized another note private placement offering with long-term investors, enhancing our liquidity to fund future growth. This financial maneuver allows us to prepay the private placement notes due in 2026 and further pursue strategic acquisitions. It's particularly satisfying against the backdrop of recent economic uncertainties influenced by tariffs and trade dynamics."
Compliance and Investment Considerations
The Notes Offering has been structured as a private placement, adhering to necessary legal frameworks. This means it will only be accessible to institutional accredited investors as defined under the Securities Act of 1933. It is crucial to note that the securities have not been registered under any securities laws, limiting their offer and sale within specific jurisdictions.
Investment Caveats
It should be understood that this announcement does not constitute an offer or solicitation for the sale or purchase of the Notes in any jurisdiction where it would be unlawful. Mullen Group does not intend to register the securities under applicable laws in the future, nor will they qualify for public distribution in Canada.
