Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS) filed a Form 8-K reporting that its majority-owned subsidiary, Sands China Ltd., intends to offer USD-denominated senior unsecured notes.
The principal amounts, interest rates and other key terms will be determined at pricing. The filing states that no binding agreement had been entered into as of the press release date, so the offering may or may not occur.
