Walgreens $5B+ Debt Tender Offer Signals Final Step in Mega-Merger Deal

NEW YORK CITY, USA, JUL 22 – Blazing Star offers noteholders up to $5 billion plus a $50 early tender premium to refinance Walgreens Boots Alliance debt amid its pending acquisition, restructuring multiple note series.

  • On July 22, 2025, Blazing Star Merger Sub, Inc. said it launched a $5 billion+ tender offer for Walgreens notes, covering nine series.
  • In connection with the March 6, 2025 Merger Agreement, the merger condition requires the closing of the acquisition by Blazing Star Parent, LLC before the tender offer can proceed, ensuring all steps align with the agreement terms.
  • Under the early deadline, noteholders tendering by August 4, 2025, receive a $50 early payment per $1,000, while Total Consideration is based on reference security yields plus fixed spreads as of August 5, 2025.
  • Upon acceptance, the merger closing condition and merger financing will fund the tender offer, and tendered notes will be cancelled.
  • Remaining untendered notes may be redeemed, defeased, or left outstanding after the merger, while Proposed Amendments could modify covenants if consents are received.
