WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE: PKI), a global leader committed to innovating for a healthier world, announced today that it has priced an offering of $850 million aggregate principal amount of 3.300% Senior Notes due 2029 at an issue price of 99.670% of the principal amount.
The issuance of the notes is expected to close on September 12, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions. The notes will pay interest on a semi-annual basis.
PerkinElmer plans to use approximately $770 million of the net proceeds of the offering to repay all amounts outstanding under its senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). It plans to replace the Credit Facility with a new $1.0 billion, five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent. PerkinElmer expects to use the remaining net proceeds of the offering, together with borrowings under the Credit Facility or the replacement credit facility, to redeem its 5.00% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”). If PerkinElmer does not redeem the 2021 Notes, it expects to use any remaining net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes.
The joint book-running managers for the offering are J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and BofA Securities, Inc.
The offering is being made pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3 (including a prospectus) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
