Business Wire
Cushman & Wakefield (NYSE: CWK) announced that it has
successfully completed a repricing of approximately $1.0 billion of
its Term Loan issued in January 2023 (“Term Loan”) due 2030. The
repricing reduces the applicable interest rate on the Term Loan by
25 basis points from Term SOFR plus 3.25% to Term SOFR plus 3.00%.
There are no changes to the maturity of the Term Loan following
this repricing and all other terms are substantially unchanged.
Additionally, on June 17th, 2024, the Company elected to prepay an
additional $45 million of its Term Loan due 2025, bringing the
aggregate year-to-date debt repayment total to $100 million. The
Company expects that the two Term Loan repricings in addition to
the $100 million repayment of debt year-to-date will produce cash
interest expense savings of approximately $14 million annually.
“We continue to proactively manage our balance sheet as we
execute on our strategic priorities of creating increased financial
flexibility while positioning the company for long-term growth,”
said Neil Johnston, Chief Financial Officer. “We were very pleased
with the strong market demand and lender support for our Term Loan
repricing.”
