VALLOUREC ANNOUNCES PARTIAL REDEMPTION OF SENIOR NOTES DUE 2032
Meudon (France), on September 3rd, 2025 - Vallourec, a world leader in premium tubular solutions, announces today its intention to proceed with the partial redemption of its senior notes maturing in 2032 (the "Notes") for an amount of $82 million (corresponding to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes.
The redemption of the Notes further optimizes the Group's capital structure and reduces borrowing costs. Vallourec reconfirms its target of distributing 80-100% of total cash generation to its shareholders, and notes that this transaction does not materially reduce or alter the amount available for such distributions.
The Notes shall be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to but excluding the redemption date set for September 13th, 2025, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes. The payment related to this redemption will take place on the business day following the redemption date, which is September 15th, 2025.
Philippe Guillemot, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of the Vallourec Group, commented: "This transaction is another step in our capital structure and return optimization. It has a rapid payback via our reduced interest cost and demonstrates our commitment to maintain a crisis proof balance sheet with low leverage and strong liquidity to ensure Vallourec's success in any market condition."
