GFL Environmental (NYSE: GFL) has closed its acquisition of SECURE Waste Infrastructure Corp. under the previously announced arrangement agreement. The Transaction was financed using capacity on GFL’s revolving credit facility, the issuance of 75,126,306 GFL subordinate voting shares and a new US$1 billion senior secured term loan.
The Senior Secured Term Loan matures on or about August 28, 2033 and bears interest at SOFR + 200 bps, or about 5.0% after cross-currency swaps. According to GFL, over 2,000 SECURE employees, including key management, will join GFL and help lead the SECURE business as employees and shareholders. GFL expects the acquisition to accelerate achievement of its multi-year financial targets while allowing it to maintain targeted year-end net leverage in the mid‑3s. The loan was significantly oversubscribed and did not affect GFL’s credit rating. SECURE common shares are expected to be delisted from the TSX on or about September 2, 2026, while the GFL subordinate voting shares issued to SECURE shareholders are expected to begin trading on the TSX and NYSE under the ticker “GFL” on or about the same date.
