MONTRÉAL, July 1, 2026 /CNW/ – Garda World Security Corporation (“GardaWorld” or the “Company”), an entrepreneurial-driven corporation focused on building global champions in security services, AI-enabled security technology, integrated risk management and cash automation solutions, announced today the pricing of the private offering (the “Offering”) of US$200 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.250% senior notes due 2032 (the “Notes”). The Offering is expected to close on or about July 6, 2026, subject to the completion of customary closing conditions. The Notes will rank pari passu with and form part of a single series with GardaWorld’s existing US$550 million aggregate principal amount of 8.250% senior notes due 2032 issued on July 25, 2024 (the “Initial Notes”). Concurrently with the Offering, the Company has received commitments to increase its US$2,338 million term loan due 2029 by an aggregate principal amount of approximately US$300 million (the “Incremental Term Loans” and, together with the Offering, the “Transactions”). The Offering is not conditioned on the completion of the Incremental Term Loans.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans and cash on hand (i) for general corporate purposes, including potential future acquisitions, and (ii) to pay fees and expenses related to the Transactions. Pending such uses, the Company will use such proceeds to repay outstanding amounts on its senior secured revolving credit facility.

“We benefited from strong investor demand, enabling a swift and efficient execution alongside highly attractive pricing. The Term Loan B was more than two times oversubscribed, while the bond offering saw demand of approximately three times, underscoring the market’s strong confidence in GardaWorld credit and its compelling investment proposition,” said Patrick Prince, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of GardaWorld.

The Offering will be made in a private transaction in reliance upon an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in the United States only to investors who are reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers,” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act and pursuant to the prospectus exemption of section 12 of the Securities Act (Québec) for distribution of securities to persons established outside Québec, or outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act and upon reliance on the accredited investor prospectus exemption in Canada. The Notes being offered will be fungible with, and trade under the same CUSIP/ISIN numbers as, the Initial Notes (except that the Notes offered pursuant Regulation S under the Securities Act will trade separately under a different CUSIP/ISIN number than the Initial Notes held through Regulation S under the Securities Act until at least 40 days after the issue date of the New Notes).

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of any of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The Notes mentioned herein have not been and will not be qualified for sale to the public under applicable Canadian securities laws and, accordingly, any offer and sale of securities in Canada will be made on a basis which is exempt from the prospectus and dealer registration requirements of such securities laws. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States or Canada without registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements or an applicable exemption from the prospectus requirements of Canadian securities legislation.

Thailand’s solar market is growing rapidly, driven by the PDP 2026 target to raise the clean energy share to 60% and rising electricity demand from cloud and AI investment.The Vertex N G3 is designed to address Thailand’s installation space constraints, delivering up to 760W output and Bifacial technology that enables 10–20% additional energy generation.

BANGKOK, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Trinasolar, a global leader in smart solar and energy storage solutions, will debut its latest high-power module, the Vertex N G3, at Asia Sustainable Energy Week 2026 (ASEW), taking place from 1 to 3 July 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand. The module will be displayed at the booths of Trinasolar’s distributor partners NEX, KLINK and Marvel.

Thailand’s solar sector is entering a more demand-driven phase, with the draft Power Development Plan (PDP 2026) targeting renewables to account for 60% of power generation by 2037. Rising investment in cloud and artificial intelligence infrastructure is also increasing demand for cleaner electricity, creating a stronger need for high-yield solar solutions across utility, commercial and industrial (C&I) and emerging artificial intelligence data centre (AIDC) applications.Thailand’s data centre sector is projected to grow at 27.71% annually between 2025 and 2031, significantly above the global average of 8.37%, underscoring the scale of clean energy demand that high-efficiency solar solutions will need to support.

The Vertex N G3 (NEG21C.20Q) is positioned to meet these requirements with its high module output of up to 760W and module efficiency of 24.5%. Leveraging Trinasolar’s advanced n-type i-TOPCon Ultra technology, its optimized voltage-to-current ratio enables higher string power with fewer modules, supporting more efficient system layouts and helping reduce balance-of-system requirements. The module also features bifaciality of up to 85±5%, enabling 10 to 20% additional rear-side energy generation depending on site conditions and system design. These features are relevant for Thailand, where customers need to improve project output while managing land, rooftop and installation constraints.

The module is also suited to Thailand’s hot and humid operating environment. With low linear degradation of 0.35% and stable temperature performance, the Vertex N G3 supports consistent energy output over time.

Trinasolar’s showcase of the Vertex N G3 follows its recent 600MW MoU with Ecohope, in which the Vertex N G3 is a flagship module. Ecohope’s focus on Thailand as a key Southeast Asia market signals confidence in the module’s relevance to local solar demand.

“Thailand is an important market for Trinasolar, and ASEW gives us a strong platform to showcase our latest TOPCon 3.0 technology. The rapid expansion of data centres and AI infrastructure is fundamentally reshaping” said Dave Wang, Subregion Head (Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar), Trinasolar Asia Pacific. “The Vertex N G3is well-positioned to support this shift, delivering higher energy yield and long-term reliability that both industrial and digital infrastructure customers increasingly require. Showcasing it with our local partners demonstrates our commitment to Thailand and our confidence in the market’s next phase of solar growth.”
