AECOM announces US $1.0 billion senior unsecured notes offering

By: via Business Wire

AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the trusted global infrastructure leader, announced today that it has commenced a private offering of US $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2033 (the “senior notes”). The senior notes will be guaranteed by certain of AECOM’s subsidiaries.

AECOM intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the senior notes, together with cash on hand, to purchase its outstanding 5.125% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) pursuant to AECOM's concurrent cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of the outstanding 2027 Notes, and redeem any 2027 Notes not purchased in the Tender Offer and to pay related fees and expenses.

The senior notes and related guarantees will be issued in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Any offer of the senior notes and related guarantees will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum. The senior notes and related guarantees are not being registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
