FedEx issues $1.1B 5.75% notes due 2036
FedEx Corporation (FDX) is issuing $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Notes due 2036 under its shelf registration.
FedEx Corporation (FDX) is issuing $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Notes due 2036 under its shelf registration. The senior unsecured notes mature on September 30, 2036, pay interest semi-annually each March 30 and September 30, and are redeemable at FedEx’s option, including a make-whole call before June 30, 2036 and par call thereafter.
The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by key FedEx subsidiaries and rank equally with all existing and future unsubordinated debt, but are effectively junior to secured debt and structurally subordinated to non-guarantor subsidiaries’ obligations. Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event, holders can require FedEx to repurchase the notes at 101% of principal plus accrued interest. FedEx expects net proceeds of about $1.088 billion, to be used with proceeds from a concurrent euro-note offering for general corporate purposes, which may include redeeming or repaying outstanding indebtedness.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- None.
Filing Explained
The debt offering is pending September 14 delivery, while FedEx says it does not expect the offering to affect common stockholders’ investment.
The notes remain in the offering stage rather than the completed-delivery stage: the underwriters agreed to purchase them subject to conditions, and FedEx expected delivery on
If delivered, the transaction adds senior unsecured debt, not common shares; FedEx says it would not expect this offering to affect common stockholders’ investment, although that table is not yet presented on an as-adjusted basis because the company is still finalizing the impact of the completed separation.
This 424(b)(5) prospectus supplement states final terms for a specific offering. The related euro-note offering is separate from this one and its completion is expressly not assured.
