Sensata Technologies Holding plc (NYSE: ST) (“Sensata Technologies”) today announced that its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Sensata Technologies B.V. (the “Issuer”), intends to redeem in full all $400,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 5.625% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”). The redemption will be made in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Notes and the terms of the notice of redemption being delivered to all registered holders of the Notes.
“Sensata has de-emphasized further acquisitions given the capabilities we have built in-house to address the growth of Electrification,” said Jeff Cote, CEO and President of Sensata. “Consequently, it is appropriate to repay the Notes now to decrease our gross debt outstanding.”
The Issuer expects to redeem the Notes on December 18, 2023 (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price equal to 100.000% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, plus the “make whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to (but not including) the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). The Redemption Price will be due and payable on the Redemption Date upon surrender of the Notes.
The notice of redemption is being delivered to all registered holders of the Notes by The Bank of New York Mellon, the trustee for the Notes (the “Trustee”). Copies of the notice of redemption may be obtained from the Trustee by calling 1-800-254-2826.
This press release is for informational purposes only and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities.
