BorgWarner Upsizes Debt Tender to $730M, Retires $770M of Notes
BWA sits 70% above its 52-week low of $40.5.
Summary
BorgWarner completed its cash tender offers for senior notes, increasing the Waterfall Cap to $730 million from the originally announced $720 million. The company accepted $770 million in aggregate principal across four note series, including $27.1M of 7.125% notes due 2029, $130.5M of 4.375% notes due 2045, $339.5M of 5.400% notes due 2034, and $272.8M of 4.950% notes due 2029. The upsize and strong participation reflect management's commitment to reducing higher-cost debt, which should lower interest expense going forward.
