CORAL GABLES, Fla., June 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) (“MasTec”) today announced the pricing of its public offering of $550,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2029. The notes will pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 5.900% and will mature on June 15, 2029. The notes were priced at 99.956%.
The notes will be MasTec’s senior unsecured obligations and will rank equal in right of payment with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of MasTec, and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of MasTec. The notes will be effectively subordinated to all secured indebtedness of MasTec, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The notes will be structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of the subsidiaries of MasTec, including trade payables and any outstanding IEA 6.625% Notes (as defined below).
MasTec intends to use the net proceeds from the offering (i) subject to the terms and conditions of the previously announced tender offer by IEA Energy Services LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of MasTec, to purchase any and all of its 6.625% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “IEA 6.625% Notes”) that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offer, (ii) to repay some or all of the term loans outstanding under MasTec’s three-year term loan facility and (iii) to pay related fees and expenses. MasTec intends to use any remaining net proceeds thereafter to repay a portion of its senior unsecured credit facility and/or for general corporate purposes. Prior to the consummation of the tender offer, the net proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes, including the temporary repayment of a portion of MasTec’s revolving credit facility.
MasTec expects to close the notes offering on June 10, 2024, subject to customary conditions, but closing is not contingent on the successful completion of the tender offer.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and BofA Securities, Inc. are acting as joint book-running managers for the notes offering.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the senior notes, nor shall there be any sale of the senior notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
