What changed
Valvoline commenced an offering of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2034. Net proceeds, together with cash on hand, will repay in full its senior secured term loan A facility and partially repay its senior secured term loan B facility. Concurrently, Valvoline intends to amend its revolving credit facility to increase availability from $475 million to $600 million, reduce pricing, and extend maturity to five years after the amendment effective date. The coordinated refinancing is intended to strengthen the debt maturity profile and enhance liquidity.
