Carnival (CCL) said Monday that it started a $1 billion private offering of senior unsecured notes maturing in 2031.
Proceeds of the notes are to refinance the $993 million 7.625% senior unsecured notes due 2026, with the aim of reducing interest expense and managing debt maturities, the company said.
A notice of redemption has been issued for the 2026 notes to be redeemed on or about May 22, the company said, adding the redemption price is 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The redemption hinges on the closing of the notes offering, the company said.
