Speedway Motorsports offers $100M in senior notes
Speedway Motorsports will use the proceeds from the offering to repay $95 million in outstanding term loans under its existing credit facility.
The latest offering is in addition to a $150 million offering initiated in February 2011, which has already been exchanged for registered notes. The additional notes will carry the same terms and ranking as the existing notes and will be treated as a single class.
The additional notes will be sold to qualified institutional buyers and are guaranteed on an unsecured, senior basis by each of the Speedway Motorsport’s subsidiaries, except Oil-Chem Research Corp.
