GOEASY LTD. ANNOUNCES PRICING OF PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED OFFERING OF SENIOR UNSECURED NOTES AND UPSIZING OF USD NOTES TO US$450 MILLION AND NEW CAD NOTES TO C$175 MILLION
goeasy Ltd. has priced $450-million (U.S.) aggregate principal amount of 6.875 per cent senior unsecured notes due 2031, an increase from the previously announced transaction size of $400-million (U.S.), and $175-million (Canadian) aggregate principal amount of 6.000 per cent senior unsecured notes due 2030, an increase from the previously announced transaction size of $100-million (Canadian). The new Canadian-dollar notes will be issued at a price of $97.50 (Canadian) per $1,000 (Canadian) principal amount, plus accrued interest from May 15, 2025. The new Canadian-dollar notes have substantially identical terms (other than issuance price, date of issuance and the date from which interest initially accrues) as, and will be treated as a single series with, the company's 6.000 per cent senior unsecured notes due 2030, issued on Nov. 4, 2024. An aggregate of $325-million (Canadian) principal amount of the Canadian-dollar notes will be outstanding after closing of the offering.
The notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of goeasy's current and future subsidiaries. Concurrently with the offering, goeasy expects to enter into a currency swap agreement to fix the foreign currency exchange rate for the proceeds from the offering of the U.S.-dollar notes, which it expects will reduce the effective cost of borrowing of the U.S.-dollar notes when converted into Canadian currency.
goeasy estimates the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $785.4-million (Canadian), based on the Bank of Canada daily rate on Aug. 8, 2025, for the Canadian-dollar/U.S.-dollar exchange rate, after deducting fees and estimated offering expenses, and subject to adjustment as a result of the currency swap. goeasy intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to partially repay indebtedness under its secured facilities and for general corporate purposes.
The offering of the notes is expected to close on Aug. 20, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
