SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Blue Yonder Holding, Inc. (“Blue Yonder”) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiaries, BY Crown Parent, LLC (“BY Crown”) and BY Bond Finance, Inc. (together with BY Crown, “Blue Yonder”), closed their offering of $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the “Notes”) in a private placement. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 4.250% per year and are due in 2026.

Blue Yonder also announced that BY Crown amended its credit agreement in order to extend the maturity date of a portion of its commitments under its revolving credit facility and increase the commitments thereunder and in order to extend the maturity date of all of its outstanding term loans thereunder.

Blue Yonder intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes offering to repay approximately $600.0 million of BY Crown’s outstanding term loan borrowings and approximately $35.0 million of outstanding borrowings under BY Crown’s revolving credit facility and to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of additional indebtedness, potential acquisitions and other purposes.

The Notes may not be offered or sold within the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes will be offered, by the initial purchasers, only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S.
