BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BWXT) has announced its intention to offer $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2030 in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. The company also expects to grant initial purchasers an option to buy up to an additional $150 million aggregate principal amount of the notes within a 13-day period from issuance. The notes will be senior unsecured obligations, guaranteed by BWXT's present and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, and will mature on November 1, 2030, unless earlier converted, redeemed, or repurchased. The interest rate, initial conversion rate, and other terms of the notes will be determined at pricing. Proceeds from the offering will be used to fund capped call transactions, repay all outstanding debt under the existing credit facility, and for general corporate purposes. Concurrently, BWXT expects to enter a new five-year $1.25 billion senior secured revolving credit facility to replace its current facility.
