AAM 公布 12 亿美元优先票据的定价

底特律，2017 年 3 月 9 日 - American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings, Inc.（纽约证券交易所代码：AXL）（“AAM”）今天宣布，其全资子公司 American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc.（以下简称“发行人”）已对此前发行的股票进行定价，2025 年到期的 6.25% 优先票据的合计本金金额为 7 亿美元，2027 年到期的 6.50% 优先票据的合计本金金额为 5 亿美元。根据惯例成交条件，此次发行预计将于 2017 年 3 月 23 日结束。

这些票据将由 AAM 和发行人的某些当前及未来的国内子公司在优先无担保的基础上无条件担保。 

发行人打算将此次发行的净收益与新的优先担保信贷融通下的借款以及手头现金一起用于支付与 AAM 收购 Metaldyne Performance Group Inc.（“MPG”）有关的应付现金对价及相关费用和支出，以便针对一般公司目的，为 AAM 现有的优先担保循环信贷融通下的任何未偿债务以及 MPG 的某些现有债务及其余债务（如有）进行再融资。

优先票据将不会根据经修订的 1933 年《证券法》（以下简称“证券法”）或任何州证券法进行登记，并且如果没有有效的登记声明或适用的豁免登记要求，或交易不符合《证券法》或任何州证券法登记要求，则可能无法在美国发行或出售。

本新闻稿不构成出售任何证券的要约或购买任何证券的邀约，亦不构成在将此类要约、邀约或出售视为非法行为的任何州或司法管辖区的要约、邀约或出售。本票据发行只能通过发行备忘录进行。

  • our ability to achieve the level of cost reductions required to sustain global cost competitiveness;
  • supply shortages or price increases in raw materials, utilities or other operating supplies for us or our customers as a result of natural disasters or otherwise;
  • our ability or our customers' and suppliers' ability to successfully launch new product programs on a timely basis;
  • our ability to realize the expected revenues from our new and incremental business backlog;
  • risks related to a failure of our information technology systems and networks, and risks associated with current and emerging technology threats and damage from computer viruses, unauthorized access, cyber attack and other similar disruptions;
  • global economic conditions;
  • our ability to maintain satisfactory labor relations and avoid work stoppages;
  • our suppliers', our customers' and their suppliers' ability to maintain satisfactory labor relations and avoid work stoppages;
  • price volatility in, or reduced availability of, fuel;
  • our ability to protect our intellectual property and successfully defend against assertions made against us;
  • our ability to attract and retain key associates;
  • availability of financing for working capital, capital expenditures, research and development (R&D) or other general corporate purposes including acquisitions, as well as our ability to comply with financial covenants;
  • our customers' and suppliers' availability of financing for working capital, capital expenditures, R&D or other general corporate purposes;
  • changes in liabilities arising from pension and other postretirement benefit obligations;
