FMC completed a $1.2 billion private offering of 8.000% senior secured notes maturing June 1, 2031, with net proceeds estimated at about $1.185 billion. The company plans to use the proceeds to repurchase or redeem its 3.200% notes due October 1, 2026, repay credit agreement borrowings, and for general corporate purposes, so shareholders will see a larger secured debt load at a higher interest rate.
