CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NN, Inc. (NASDAQ: NNBR) ("NN" or the "Company"), a global diversified industrial company that engineers and manufactures high-precision components and assemblies, today announced a negotiated transaction regarding the Company's $124 million of Series D preferred stock security held by investment funds managed by Morgan Stanley Tactical Value.
Overview of 3-Part Transaction:
- NN has paid off $70 million of preferred stock by using $70 million of cash raised through a sale of common stock via a PIPE transaction during July 2026 (previously announced)
- NN has exchanged an additional approximate $19 million of preferred stock by using $19 million of common stock via an exchange agreement with Morgan Stanley Tactical Value
- NN has refinanced the remaining $35 million of preferred stock at a reduced interest rate of 10% for one year, as well as a new $5 million discount available if the Company redeems the remaining preferred stock by December 31, 2026
Harold Bevis, President and CEO of NN, Inc. commented, "NN's business performance drove strong investor demand for its recent $75 million PIPE transaction. This underscored the depth of liquidity available for high-quality manufacturing companies that are focused on the right markets with compelling products and an experienced global team, even amid periods of market volatility. The PIPE transaction was oversubscribed, further demonstrating institutional demand for NN, Inc. stock."
Bevis continued, "Furthermore, as part of the refinancing, long-standing preferred stockholder Morgan Stanley Tactical Value agreed to convert a portion of its preferred equity into NN common stock, helping facilitate a negotiated transaction between the parties. NN has paid off the majority of its preferred stock and materially deleveraged. This transaction also strengthens NN's balance sheet and sets up a favorable outlook for refinancing our secured Term Loan debt at a lower cost of capital. This is a performance-led advancement for NN's shareholders, and sets the stage for significant further value creation."
