H.B. Fuller sells $850 million of 7.625% notes due 2034 to fund Advanced Medical deal
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. The notes carry a special mandatory redemption of $450 million if that acquisition is not completed by the June 25, 2027 deadline, so the financing outcome depends partly on the deal closing.
Key points
- Notes: $850 million aggregate principal, 7.625% interest, payable semi-annually from April 15, 2027, maturing October 15, 2034
- Bridge credit agreement dated June 25, 2026 was terminated on October 21, 2026 with no loans outstanding and no prepayment premium
- Company must redeem $450 million of the notes at 100% of issue price if the Acquisition is not consummated by June 25, 2027
- Notes are not guaranteed by subsidiaries at issuance; change of control triggers an offer to repurchase at 101% of principal
