GOEASY LTD. CLOSES US$450 MILLION AND C$175 MILLION OFFERING OF SENIOR UNSECURED NOTES
goeasy Ltd. has closed its previously announced offering of $450-million (U.S.) aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2031, which was upsized from $400-million (U.S.) at the initial time of offering, and $175-million (Canadian) aggregate principal amount of 6.000 per cent senior unsecured notes due 2030, which was upsized from $100-million (Canadian) at the initial time of offering. The new Canadian-dollar notes were issued at a price of $997.50 (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 is outstanding following closing of the offering.
In connection with the offering of the U.S.-dollar notes, goeasy also entered into a currency swap agreement to reduce the Canadian-dollar-equivalent cost of borrowing on the U.S.-dollar notes to 6.106 per cent per annum. Before giving effect to the currency swap, the coupon on the U.S.-dollar notes is 6.875 per cent per annum. 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.
"We are pleased to announce the closing of our upsized unsecured notes offering. The increases to both the U.S.-dollar- and Canadian-dollar-denominated issuances reflected strong market demand and confidence in our business," said Hal Khouri, goeasy's executive vice-president and chief financial officer. "This financing raises our total funding capacity to $2.3-billion (Canadian) to support our growth plans."
