Monday, ACCO Brands Corp. (ABD) said it plans to conduct a private offering of $425 million of senior secured notes due 2015. The net proceeds of the notes, together with a borrowing under an anticipated new credit facility, will be used to repay all borrowings outstanding under the company's existing credit and securitization facilities and to pay transaction and related costs. The sale of the notes is expected to be consummated in September 2009, subject to market and other conditions.
Concurrently with the expected sale of the notes, the company anticipates entering into a new asset-based multi-currency credit facility. The new credit facility will replace the company's existing senior secured credit facility, which will be terminated in connection with the repayment of all borrowings outstanding thereunder out of the net proceeds from the offering of the notes and a concurrent draw from the new credit facility.
