CLEVELAND, OHIO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), a subsidiary of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: PKOH), today announced that it has priced its offering of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2030 (the “Notes”), subject to market and customary conditions, in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes were priced at 99.500% of par and will bear an interest rate of 8.500% per annum. The Notes will be senior obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed, with certain exceptions, by the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries on a senior secured basis. The Notes will be secured by, subject in each case to certain exceptions and permitted liens, (i) a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ U.S. equipment (including machinery) (the “Notes Priority Collateral”) and (ii) a second-priority lien (junior to the Company’s revolving credit facility) on substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ U.S. assets not constituting Notes Priority Collateral that secure the revolving credit facility. The Company expects to close the offering of the Notes on July 31, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, along with cash on hand, to redeem all $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.625% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Senior Notes”) and pay related fees and expenses.
