BofA Securities, Citigroup and J.P. Morgan acted as joint book-runners. U.S. Bank Trust Company will serve as trustee under three supplemental indentures and Jones Day provided the legal opinion. Exhibits filed include the underwriting agreement, indentures, opinion and related consents.
Implications The transaction lengthens SHW’s maturity profile and secures fixed-rate funding ahead of potential rate moves, strengthening near-term liquidity. Based on coupon rates, incremental pre-tax interest is estimated at roughly $66 million per year, modest relative to SHW’s 2024 operating income, but it will lift gross debt and interest burden. No specific use of proceeds was disclosed.
Offering overview: Sherwin-Williams (SHW) has filed a preliminary prospectus supplement to issue three new series of senior unsecured notes; final coupons, sizes and maturities will be set at pricing. The notes rank equally with existing senior debt, are senior to any future subordinated borrowings and are effectively junior to secured debt. Optional redemption is available; holders receive a 101% put if a change-of-control trigger occurs. No exchange listing is planned.
Use of proceeds: Net proceeds, together with cash on hand, will retire the company’s $400 m 3.450% notes due 08/01/25, $400 m 4.250% notes due 08/08/25 and a portion of the ≈$1.4 bn commercial paper outstanding (weighted-avg 4.62%, 17-day tenor). This materially reduces 2025 refinancing risk and shifts funding to longer-tenor fixed-rate instruments.
Capital structure & liquidity: At 6/30/25 SHW reported $25.36 bn in assets, $2.86 bn short-term debt, $7.83 bn long-term debt and $269.8 m cash. Gross leverage is ~2.4× 2024 adjusted EBITDA of $4.49 bn. Post-offering debt balances stay broadly unchanged, but maturities extend. The company also plans a new 364-day unsecured term-loan facility (US$750 m + €250 m) and an amendment to its $2.5 bn revolver to push maturity by ~1 year and improve pricing.
Business & performance: 2024 sales were $23.10 bn with net income $2.68 bn (11.6% margin). For H1-25, sales were $11.62 bn and net income $1.26 bn. Operations are diversified across Paint Stores, Consumer Brands and Performance Coatings.
Key risks: Notes are unsecured; trading market may be limited; pricing unknown until final terms; company may still incur additional secured debt; leverage could increase if the new term loan is drawn.
