Minerals Technologies Prices $400M Senior Notes at 7.5% Due 2032
MTX sits 21% above its 52-week low of $53.94.
Summary
Minerals Technologies priced its $400 million private offering of senior notes due 2032 at a 7.500% coupon, with an initial offering price of 100.000% of principal. The notes are guaranteed by domestic restricted subsidiaries and are expected to close on October 13, 2026. Proceeds, along with cash on hand, will redeem the outstanding 5.000% senior notes due 2028 and pay transaction fees. This follows the earlier announcement of the offering and the 8-K filed today; the pricing terms are now fixed. The company recently reported a Q2 loss of $5.90 per share due to a $290 million talc litigation charge, and this refinancing extends maturities while increasing interest costs. The 7.5% coupon reflects the company's current credit profile and market conditions.
Updates
· SEC 8-K — The credit facility amendment increases the revolving facility to $500 million and extends its maturity to the earlier of five years from effectiveness or 91 days before the term loans' maturity, subject to conditions.
