This refinancing extends Herbalife's debt maturity profile and locks in fixed-rate financing through 2033. Traders should monitor whether the company uses the increased revolver availability for M&A or buybacks. The 7.75% coupon on the notes suggests limited appetite from investment-grade buyers; follow secondary trading of the new notes for credit sentiment signals.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Herbalife executed a comprehensive refinancing on April 29, 2026, closing a $225M Term A facility, a new $425M revolver (up from $400M), and issuing $800M of 7.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2033. Proceeds, along with cash on hand, were used to repay existing $365M Term B loans, retire the old revolver, and redeem the 2029 Senior Secured Notes. The transaction extends maturities and replaces floating-rate bank debt with fixed-rate notes, the largest capital markets action by the company in recent years.
Key Financial Metrics
Key Facts
- $800M 7.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2033 issued under new indenture
- $225M new Term Loan A facility established (replacing $365M Term B loans)
- Revolving credit facility upsized from $400M to $425M
- Proceeds used to repay existing Term B loans, existing revolver, and redeem 2029 Senior Secured Notes
- Ninth Amendment to Credit Agreement executed contemporaneously with note indenture
Financial Impact
Total incremental gross debt of $1.025B (Term A $225M + revolver $425M + notes $800M = $1.45B, offset by repayment of ~$1.165B of existing debt), net increase of approximately $285M including revolver upsize but largely a refinancing; coupon of 7.75% on notes implies annual interest cost increase of ~$62M vs. prior bank debt at floating rates.
Risk Factors

- Leverage remains elevated with $1.7B market cap and over $1.4B in total debt
- Potential for future dilution if convertible notes or other equity-linked instruments are utilized
