TORONTO, Sept. 09, 2020 - HudBay Minerals Inc. (“Hudbay” or the “company”) (TSX, NYSE:HBM) today announced that it is offering US$500 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes (the “New Notes”). The interest rate and other terms of the New Notes will be determined at pricing and are dependent upon market conditions and other factors.
Hudbay plans to use the net proceeds from the offering of the New Notes to refinance all of its outstanding US$400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.250% senior notes due 2023 (the “Existing Notes”), pay any related premium, costs and expenses and for general corporate purposes.
The New Notes will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. The New Notes will not be qualified by a prospectus in Canada. Unless they are registered or qualified by a prospectus, the New Notes may be offered only in transactions that are exempt from registration under the Securities Act, prospectus qualification under Canadian securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. In the United States, the New Notes will be offered, and sold, only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
This press release is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the New Notes, the Existing Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the New Notes, the Existing Notes or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the Existing Notes.
