MSCI Inc. announced that it has successfully completed its private offering of $700.0 million aggregate amount of its 3.250% senior unsecured notes (the “notes”) due 2033 (the “offering”). The notes will mature on August 15, 2033. MSCI intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to redeem all $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.375% senior unsecured notes due 2027 as well as for general corporate purposes (including, without limitation, potential purchases of its common stock, investments and acquisitions) and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the offering of the notes. The notes were offered only to (i) persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and (ii) certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and therefore may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This 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.
