BOSTON, Aug. 14, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LogMeIn, Inc. (“LogMeIn” or the “Company”) and Logan Merger Sub, Inc. (the “Issuer”), controlled by affiliates of Francisco Partners, L.P. (“Francisco Partners”), today announced that the Issuer has priced an offering of $950 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”). The Notes were priced at 100% of par. The offering was upsized to $950 million from the previously announced offering size of $750 million. The sale of the Notes is expected to be completed on August 31, 2020, and is anticipated to close concurrently with the closing of the previously announced Acquisition (as defined below), each subject to customary closing conditions.

LogMeIn will assume all of the obligations of the Issuer under the Notes upon the consummation of the Acquisition.
