H.B. Fuller completed the sale of $850 million of 7.625% senior unsecured notes due October 15, 2034, and terminated its $917 million unsecured bridge credit agreement that had been set up to help finance its pending acquisition of Advanced Medical Solutions Group plc.

Cushman & Wakefield Ltd. said its subsidiary fully redeemed the remaining $150 million of 6.750% Senior Secured Notes due May 2028 on October 21, 2026. The company said the redemption removes its nearest debt maturity and leaves no long-term debt maturing before 2030.
