Analysis · BAH · Trade & Services
Booz Allen Hamilton is issuing $1.2 billion in senior notes, split between $700 million due 2030 at 5.375% and $500 million due 2034 at 5.900%. The net proceeds of roughly $1.192 billion will primarily fund the $720 million Ultra Mission Solutions acquisition announced in June, with the remainder for general corporate purposes. The 2034 notes carry a special mandatory redemption at 101% if the acquisition fails to close by December 19, 2026, protecting investors if the deal falls through. This is a significant capital raise that locks in financing for a transformative acquisition, but adds substantial leverage to the balance sheet.
