Insights

Corporate Finance Expert

Embraer's debt refinancing aims to replace up to $750M of high-yield notes with likely lower-cost debt, improving financial flexibility.

Embraer has announced a strategic debt management initiative through a tender offer to repurchase up to $750 million of its outstanding senior notes due 2028 and 2030, which carry high interest rates of 6.95% and 7% respectively. This is a textbook liability management exercise where the company is using its financial agent Morgan Stanley to repurchase these notes at a premium to par value—approximately $1,062 per $1,000 for the 2028 notes and $1,105 per $1,000 for the 2030 notes.

What's particularly significant is that Embraer plans to finance this repurchase through a new debt issuance. Given current market conditions and Embraer's likely improved credit profile since the original issuance of these notes, the company is probably aiming to replace these higher-interest obligations with lower-cost debt. The tender prioritizes the 2028 notes (priority level 1) over the 2030 notes (priority level 2), indicating a strategic approach to manage near-term maturities first.

The company has explicitly stated its intention to potentially redeem any remaining 2028 notes through a make-whole call after the tender offer, signaling a comprehensive approach to restructure its debt profile. This tender offer represents approximately 69.5% of the total outstanding principal of both note series ($1.08 billion), highlighting the substantial scale of this refinancing effort. By proactively managing its debt profile while interest rates may be favorable, Embraer is likely positioning itself for improved financial flexibility and potentially reduced interest expenses going forward.

Information on the Offers

The Offers are scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, October 21, 2025, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Offeror in its sole discretion (such time and date, as it may be extended or earlier terminated (the “Expiration Date”). Holders of Notes who validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 3, 2025, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Offeror in its sole discretion (such time and date, as it may be extended or earlier terminated, the “Early Tender Date”) will be eligible to receive the Total Consideration for the Notes. Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Date but at or prior to the Expiration Date in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase will not be eligible to receive the Early Tender Payment and will, therefore, only be eligible to receive the Tender Consideration (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). Validly tendered Notes may be validly withdrawn at any time prior to the Early Tender Date but not thereafter, except as the Early Tender Date may extended or earlier terminated by the Offeror in its sole discretion.

Subject to the Maximum Tender Amount, the amount of a series of Notes that are accepted for purchase in the Offers on any Settlement Date (as defined herein) will be based on the order of priority (the “Acceptance Priority Level”) for such series of Notes set forth in the table above, subject to the proration arrangements applicable to the Offers and as otherwise described in the Offer to Purchase.

The “Total Consideration” payable per US$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offers, will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable Fixed Spread for such Notes specified in the tables above plus the applicable yield based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified in the tables above at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Price Determination Date. The “Tender Consideration” equals the Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Payment.

If the aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Date or the Expiration Date exceeds the Maximum Tender Amount, a prorated amount of the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) by holders of the Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Date or the Expiration Date, as the case may be, will be accepted for purchase.

Settlement

Holders of the Notes that have validly tendered and not validly withdrawn their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Date and whose Notes are accepted for purchase shall, if the Offeror so elects, receive the Total Consideration on the early settlement date, which date is expected to occur two business days following the Early Tender Date (the “Early Settlement Date”). If the Offeror does not, in its sole discretion, elect to pay for such tendered Notes prior to the Expiration Date, then the Early Settlement Date will be the same as the final settlement date, which date is expected to occur two business days following the Expiration Date (the “Final Settlement Date” and, together with the Early Settlement Date, each a “Settlement Date”).
