$1.5B Term Loan and Easier Covenants Lock In Lhoist Deal Financing
MLM is trading near its 52-week low of $525.38 (8.4% above the low).
Summary
Martin Marietta secured a $1.5 billion three-year unsecured term loan led by JPMorgan and amended its $800 million revolver to temporarily relax leverage covenants. These moves directly fund the $13.5 billion Lhoist North America acquisition announced June 29. The covenant relief steps down over six quarters, giving the company breathing room during integration. This removes financing uncertainty and signals lender confidence in the deal's strategic logic. The term loan and revolver amendment were disclosed in an 8-K filed today.
