Neutral Impact 3 of 5 financing

Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies completed a $500 million offering of 5.900% senior notes maturing February 25, 2037. The company plans to use the proceeds, along with revolver, short-term and commercial paper funding, to repay its 3.45% senior notes due November 15, 2026. The filing adds long-term debt but describes it as refinancing existing maturing debt, and the filing does not report earnings or guidance.
