Triumph Group, Inc. (NYSE:TGI) today announced the pricing of its
previously announced offering of $175 million aggregate principal amount
of senior subordinated notes due 2017. The notes will have an interest
rate of 8% per annum and are being issued at a price equal to 98.558% of
their face value. The offering of the notes is expected to close on
November 16, 2009.
The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be
approximately $168.5 million after deducting the effects of original
issue discount, initial purchaser discounts and estimated offering fees
and expenses. The net proceeds from the issuance of the notes are to be
used for general corporate purposes, which may include debt reduction,
including the repayment of amounts outstanding under its revolving
credit facility at a future date, without any permanent reduction of the
commitments thereunder. The notes will be issued by the Company and
guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by each of the Company’s
domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee any of its debt or that
of its restricted subsidiaries under the Company’s revolving credit
facility, and in the future by any of the Company’s domestic restricted
subsidiaries that guarantee any debt of the Company or any of its
restricted subsidiaries incurred under any credit agreement.
The notes were offered in a private placement to qualified institutional
buyers pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act”), subject to market and other
conditions. The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act
or state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or pursuant to an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable
state securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer
to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the notes, nor shall it
constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which
such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
