- Actions Are Part of Ongoing Optimal Capital Structure Efforts and Move a Greater Percentage of Total Debt to a Fixed Rate
- Actions Expected to Have Immaterial EPS Impact to Fiscal 2019
TARRYTOWN, N.Y., March 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:PBH) (the “Company”) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Prestige Brands, Inc. (“Prestige Brands”), has successfully priced the offering of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.375% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “New Notes”). The size of the offering reflects an increase of $50 million from the previously announced offering size of $200 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay a portion of its existing term loan facility and to pay related fees and expenses.
Separately, the Company closed a repricing of its term loan facility. Following the closing, the margin will be reduced by 50 basis points on the loan. The Company expects the repricing and add-on bond offering in aggregate to have an immaterial EPS impact to its fiscal 2019.
Ron Lombardi, CEO of Prestige Brands, stated, “Our successful refinancing is a testament to our leading and diversified brand portfolio that drives our strong cash flow profile. We continue to execute our three pillar strategy and today’s announcement provides even greater financial flexibility to enhance long-term shareholder value.”

The New Notes will be treated as a single series with the Existing Notes and will have substantially the same terms as those of the Existing Notes.
