Stella-Jones Announces Private Offering of C$400 Million of 7-Year Senior Unsecured Notes

MONTREAL, Sept. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stella-Jones Inc. (TSX: SJ) (“Stella-Jones” or the “Company”) announced today that it has priced an inaugural offering of Canadian dollar denominated senior unsecured notes.

Stella-Jones will issue C$400 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due October 1st, 2031, bearing interest at the rate of 4.312% per annum, payable semi-annually until maturity (the “Notes”). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay existing indebtedness under its revolving credit facilities, and any balance will be used for general corporate purposes.

The Notes are being offered in Canada through an agency syndicate consisting of TD Securities Inc., CIBC World Markets Inc. and RBC Dominion Securities Inc., as joint lead agents and bookrunners, along with Merrill Lynch Canada Inc. and Scotia Capital Inc., as co-managers. The offering is expected to close on October 1st, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Notes will be unsecured obligations of Stella-Jones, will rank equally and pari passu with the other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Stella-Jones, and will be issued pursuant to a trust indenture, as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture, each to be dated the date of closing of the offering. Payment of the Notes will be guaranteed on an unsecured basis by certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Stella-Jones. The Notes have been assigned a provisional rating of “BBB”, with a stable trend, by DBRS Limited.*

The Notes will be offered on a private placement basis in each of the provinces of Canada in reliance upon exemptions from the prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws. The Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Notes in the United States or any other jurisdiction where such offering or sale would be unlawful.

* Credit ratings are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell such securities as such ratings are not a comment upon the market price of the securities or their suitability for a particular investor.
