Summary
Entegris, Inc. (ENTG) announced the pricing of a significant debt offering, specifically $895 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.950% senior unsecured notes due 2030. This offering, through its subsidiary Entegris Escrow Corporation, is a crucial step in financing the previously announced acquisition of CMC Materials, Inc. The net proceeds are earmarked to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the merger, cover related fees and expenses, and repay existing indebtedness of both Entegris and CMC. The notes are initially secured by funds held in escrow and will become senior unsecured obligations of Entegris upon the consummation of the CMC merger, with guarantees from certain domestic subsidiaries. The closing of the notes offering is expected around June 30, 2022, and is not contingent on the merger's completion. The company also notes that if the merger does not close, the notes will be redeemed.
