The Hartford Announces Closing of $500 Million Senior Notes Offering

The Hartford today announced the closing of an offering of $500 million of 4.4 percent senior notes due 2048.

“We are pleased with the results of the offering and with the interest it has garnered in the market,” said The Hartford’s Chief Financial Officer Beth Bombara. “We intend to use the net proceeds to repay $320 million in senior notes maturing on March 15, 2018, and for general corporate purposes. The offering is consistent with our previously announced long-term debt management plans.”

The Hartford’s plans, which also include a previously announced intent to call $500 million junior subordinated debt at par in June 2018 and to repay a $413 million debt maturity in 2019, are expected to reduce leverage over time. In addition, The Hartford is in the process of amending and extending its revolving credit facility, with a reduction in the size of the facility from $1 billion to $750 million. The reduction in size of the facility and the extension of the facility through March 2023 are subject to, and would be effective upon, the closing of the sale of Talcott Resolution.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated acted as joint book-running managers for the offering of senior notes.
