Flex Ltd. (FLEX) has filed an 8-K report detailing the successful completion of a $400 milliona debt offering, issuing 6.000% Notes due 2028.
This action, finalized on December 7, 2022, was conducted under an existing shelf registration statement and utilized a Fifth Supplemental Indenture to formalize the new debt issuance. The notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with other existing unsecured debt. They mature in January 2028, with semi-annual interest payments beginning July 15, 2023.
The company retains the option to redeem the notes prior to maturity, and holders can demand repurchase upon a change of control event. This issuance appears to be a strategic move to manage its capital structure and potentially fund ongoing operations or strategic initiatives.
