Summary
Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) filed an 8-K on June 6, 2013, to report on the results of its previously announced offer to exchange its 6.750% Senior Notes due 2017 for new debt. The company successfully issued $758.87 million in aggregate principal amount of new 3.50% Senior Notes due June 15, 2023. These new notes were issued via a private placement under Rule 144A and Regulation S. The issuance is part of Capital One's strategy to refinance existing debt, potentially extending its debt maturity profile and lowering its interest expense. Investors should note the terms of the new notes, including their interest rate and maturity date, as well as the registration rights agreement which obligates Capital One to register these notes with the SEC within a specified timeframe or incur additional interest. This move suggests proactive debt management by the company.
