Whirlpool Announces Upsize and Pricing of Offering of Secured Notes
The deal was upsized to $2 billion after Whirlpool priced $1 billion of notes due in 2031 and $1 billion due in 2034.
On Tuesday, Whirlpool Corporation announced it priced a $2 billion offering of senior secured second lien notes, comprising $1.0 billion each of 2031 and 2034 notes.
The 2031 Notes bear a 7.500% annual interest rate while the 2034 Notes carry 7.875%, with both maturing July 1 of their respective years and interest payable semi-annually from June 16, 2026.
Whirlpool upsized the offering from the previously announced $750 million for each series of notes, increasing the total aggregate principal amount to $2 billion for additional capital.
Proceeds from the notes, alongside borrowings under the proposed ABL Credit Facility, will fund existing debt repayment, with the offering expected to close on June 16, 2026.
These financial maneuvers support Whirlpool's strategic portfolio transformation and long-term capital management as the company pursues its business objectives amid evolving market conditions.
