Invesco takes $1.5 billion term loan to repurchase MassMutual preferred shares
Invesco Ltd. borrowed the full $1.5 billion of an unsecured five-year term loan on October 26, 2026, and used it to repurchase $1.5 billion of its 5.9% preference shares held by MassMutual, a significant shareholder owning about 18.5% of common shares. The repurchase was made at a 12.5% premium to the $1,000 liquidation preference, and MassMutual will keep $1 billion of preferred stock. The loan adds debt that carries financial covenants, so it changes the company's debt load and its obligations ahead of common shareholders.
