(NYSE: ADT) has announced a significant financial move with its subsidiary, the ADT Security Corporation, proposing to issue and sell $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of first-priority senior secured notes due 2033. This offering is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and is targeted towards qualified institutional buyers and non-U.S. investors.
The purpose of this offering is to fund the redemption of all $1.3 billion outstanding 6.250% second-priority senior secured notes due 2028 issued by Prime Security Services Borrower, LLC and Prime Finance Inc., which are ADT's indirect wholly owned subsidiaries.
