Mattel issues $600 million of 5.000% senior notes due 2030 to repay 2026 notes
Mattel issued $600 million of 5.000% senior unsecured notes maturing November 17, 2030, on November 17, 2025. The company used the net proceeds, together with cash on hand, to redeem all $600.0 million of its outstanding 3.375% Senior Notes due 2026, so the filing swaps one debt issue for another rather than adding a new amount of borrowing.
Key points
- Notes: $600 million principal, 5.000% coupon, interest paid semi-annually on May 17 and November 17, first payment May 17, 2026
- Proceeds, with cash on hand, used to redeem all $600.0 million of 3.375% Senior Notes due 2026 on the same day
- Optional redemption before October 17, 2030 at 100% of principal plus make-whole premium; holders can require repurchase at 101% on a Change of Control Triggering Event
