Monitor the tender offer results for the 2028 notes and the final redemption of the 2027 notes. The higher coupon on the new notes (6.700% and 7.150% vs. 3.875% on the 2028s) will increase annual interest expense, but the extension of maturities to 2031/2033 reduces near-term refinancing risk. No impact on equity or operating cash flows.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
OpenText priced $1.0B in senior secured notes (6.700% due 2031 and 7.150% due 2033) to redeem its $1.0B 2027 notes and fund a tender offer for up to $450M of its 2028 notes. The refinancing extends maturities and reduces near-term debt maturities but adds higher-coupon debt, with no change to the company's fundamental earnings power.
