Post Holdings Announces Commencement of Senior Notes Offering
ST. LOUIS, March 4, 2026 - Post Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:POST) (the “Company” or “Post”) today announced it intends to commence a private offering to eligible purchasers, subject to market and other conditions, of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.250% senior notes due 2034 (the “Notes”).
The Notes are being offered as additional notes under an existing indenture pursuant to which the Company previously issued $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.250% senior notes due 2034 (the “Existing Notes”). The Notes to be issued in this offering will vote together with, and will constitute part of the same series as, the Existing Notes. The Notes will be unsecured, senior obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed by the Company’s existing and subsequently acquired or organized domestic subsidiaries (other than immaterial subsidiaries, certain excluded subsidiaries and subsidiaries the Company designates as unrestricted subsidiaries).
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes offering to pay the costs, fees and expenses associated with the Notes offering, to fund the repayment of the outstanding balance of its revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2025 and, to the extent there are any remaining net proceeds, for general corporate purposes, which could include, among other things, retirement or repayment of existing debt, share repurchases, acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital. The final amounts of the Notes are subject to market and other conditions, and may be materially different than expectations.
The Notes and the related subsidiary guarantees are being offered (1) in the United States to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in an offering exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and (2) to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related subsidiary guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
This press release is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sales of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any jurisdiction. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
