THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Nov. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Talen Energy Supply, LLC (the "Company" or "Talen Energy Supply") announced today that it has priced $225 million aggregate principal amount of its 10.500% senior unsecured guaranteed notes due 2026 (the "Notes") in a private offering. The Notes will be issued at 97.50% of par value with a coupon of 10.500% and will mature on January 15, 2026. The Notes will be issued as additional notes under the same indenture as the Company's 10.500% Senior Notes due 2026 that were offered on November 14, 2017 and which are expected to close on November 29, 2017, subject to customary closing conditions and will form a single series with, have the same terms as, and trade interchangeably with, such previously offered notes. The offering of the new Notes is expected to close on December 5, 2017, subject to customary closing conditions. The Notes will be guaranteed by certain of Talen Energy Supply's subsidiaries that guarantee its existing indebtedness. Talen Energy Supply intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, to refinance, repurchase and/or repay certain of Talen Energy Supply's existing indebtedness, including in connection with the previously announced tender offer for its 4.625% Senior Notes due 2019, and to pay transaction fees and expenses.
The Notes will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers as defined under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States under Regulation S of the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.
This press release is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy, or the solicitation of an offer to sell, the Notes, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any jurisdiction or under any circumstances in which such offers, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
