01 August 2024 - 7:40AM
Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. (“Allegro”) (Nasdaq: ALGM), a global
leader in power and sensing solutions for motion control and
energy-efficient systems, today announced the allocation of a
$400,000,000 term loan tranche (the "Term Loan"), consisting
of new term loans incurred, in relevant part, to facilitate the
repurchase of shares from Allegro’s majority shareholder, Sanken
Electric Co., Ltd. (“Sanken”), to fully refinance Allegro’s
existing term loan facility, and otherwise for general corporate
purposes. The new term loan tranche is expected to have a maturity
date of October 31, 2030 and to bear interest at an annual rate
based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus an
interest rate margin of 2.25%, which annual rate represents a 0.50%
per annum reduction as compared to Allegro’s existing term loan
facility. The foregoing transactions are subject to market and
other conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether, or
when, the transactions may be completed or as to the actual size or
terms of the Term Loan.
Morgan Stanley, Barclays, UBS, Bank of America, JPMorgan, Mizuho
and SMBC are acting as joint lead arrangers and book-runners for
the Term Loan.
