Summary
Franklin Resources completed a $750 million public offering of 5.500% unsecured notes due 2036 and intends to use the net proceeds to repay roughly $700 million of outstanding revolving borrowings under its credit agreement, with the remainder for general corporate purposes. The notes were sold through underwriters represented by BofA Securities, HSBC Securities (USA) and Wells Fargo Securities, and were issued under an indenture with The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company as trustee.
Key points
- The notes bear interest at 5.500% per year, payable semi-annually from February 10, 2027, and mature August 10, 2036 unless earlier redeemed.
- Before May 10, 2036, the company may redeem the notes at a make-whole price based on the Treasury Rate plus 15 basis points; on or after that date, redemption is at 100% of principal.
- The offering was made under a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the SEC in February 2025.
- The filing states the notes are unsecured obligations of the company.
