JELD-WEN Holding, Inc. began an offer to exchange its 4.875% 2027 notes for new first-lien notes due 2031, offering up to $410.2 million of the new notes, TradingView reported. The exchange is accompanied by a consent solicitation.
How the JELD-WEN Exchange Is Structured
The JELD WEN offer swaps the 4.875% 2027 notes for first-lien debt maturing in 2031, with the new notes carrying a coupon of 10.5% to 11.5%. The company said 94.5% of holders agreed to tender early, and commitments from major holders back the offer with a 70.0% backstop for the new notes.
The size of the offer adjusts with uptake in a term loan Dutch auction that JELD-WEN also launched. Under the structure, existing loans would be subordinated to the new notes. The company said the exchange extends maturities and adds collateral, while the higher coupon raises refinancing cost.
