ICL : Announces Private Offering of Additional $93.1 Million Senior Notes

TEL AVIV, Israel, Dec. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ICL (NYSE: ICL) (TASE: ICL), a leading global specialty minerals and specialty chemicals company, announced today the private placement offering of an additional $93.1 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2038 to a qualified institutional buyer, at a price of $1.29 per $1.00 principal amount, resulting in total proceeds of about $120 million. 

"We are pleased to have leveraged the current attractive market conditions to secure an additional $120 million of long-term debt at a 4% effective yield, as an expansion of our series F senior unsecured notes due in 2038," said Kobi Altman, ICL's CFO.  "This is in addition to the action we took in the third quarter to solidify our financial strength, which included the renewal of our five-year $300 million securitization facility and the extension of our $900 million credit facility to 2025."

The additional notes will be part of the same series as the previously issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of ICL's 6.375% senior unsecured notes due 2038.  The additional notes will have terms identical to the initial notes, except with respect to the date of issuance, the issue price, the initial interest accrual date and the initial interest payment date.  The additional notes and the initial notes will be treated as a single class of securities under the indenture governing the notes, and an application has been made to list the additional notes on the system of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange for trading by institutional investors, known as TACT Institutional.

ICL intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which could include acquisitions, debt repayment, capital expenditures or investments.
