Targa Resources intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes. A significant portion will be allocated to repay borrowings under its commercial paper note program, which were previously used, in part, to repay a $500.0 million term loan.
The company is issuing $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.500% Senior Notes due February 15, 2035. Interest will be paid semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, with the first payment on February 15, 2025. The notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain subsidiary guarantors.
This offering is part of Targa's ongoing capital management strategy. The proceeds will be used to retire existing short-term debt (commercial paper) and were indirectly linked to the repayment of a medium-term loan facility. This suggests a proactive approach to managing its debt structure.
The fact that certain subsidiary guarantors are providing full and unconditional guarantees on a senior unsecured basis means that creditors holding these new notes have recourse to the assets of these specific subsidiaries in addition to Targa Resources Corp. itself. This enhances the credit profile of the notes.
