The presence of multiple book runners also helps in distributing the risk and ensuring a successful issuance.
From a market perspective, the offering could be a response to the company's assessment of the interest rate environment. If rates are expected to rise, locking in a fixed rate now could be advantageous. The capital raised could also be a strategic move to prepare for acquisitions, debt refinancing, or expansion, which may have a positive impact on the company's long-term growth trajectory.
The decision to apply net proceeds to repay CNH Industrial Capital LLC’s indebtedness as it becomes due is a prudent approach to debt management . It suggests a proactive strategy in managing the company's capital structure and reducing potential refinancing risks associated with future market volatility.
Furthermore, the offering being made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement indicates a pre-planned financing strategy, allowing the company to act swiftly in favorable market conditions to optimize its capital structure. This agility in the capital markets can be beneficial for CNH Industrial in terms of cost savings and financial flexibility.
