Granite Construction sells $600 million of 6.375% notes to redeem 2028 convertible notes
Granite Construction closed a $600.0 million offering of 6.375% senior notes due 2034 on June 2, 2026, with estimated net proceeds of about $590.0 million. The company plans to use the proceeds, with cash on hand, to redeem its 3.75% convertible notes due 2028, and it expects a non-cash charge of approximately $500 million tied to the derivative feature of those convertibles, which shareholders should weigh against the financing.
