Refinancing: new 2032 notes and redemption of 2027 notes.

Howmet Aerospace priced $500 million of 4.550% notes due 2032 and issued a redemption notice for approximately $625 million of 5.90% notes due 2027. This pairs a new issuance with a scheduled redemption.

The actions indicate term extension from 2027 to 2032 and a lower stated coupon on the new notes versus the redeemed notes, based on the disclosed rates. Actual interest expense depends on issuance discounts, fees, and timing of redemption.

Key milestone is the redemption date on December 3, 2025, per the notice. Subsequent disclosures may detail settlement, any make-whole/redemption price mechanics, and the net effect on debt mix.
