Positive
  • Carrier is managing its debt structure through strategic tender offers
  • High demand for the tender offers indicates investor interest in Carrier's debt securities
  • The company is able to repurchase up to $1 billion in debt, potentially improving its balance sheet
Negative
  • The tender offers may result in a cash outflow of up to $1 billion, potentially impacting the company's liquidity

Insights

Carrier's tender offer for $1 billion of outstanding debt securities is a significant financial move. The company is targeting three series of notes with varying maturities (2034, 2050 and 2054) and interest rates (5.900%, 3.577% and 6.200% respectively). This action suggests Carrier is actively managing its debt profile, likely to reduce interest expenses or extend maturities.

The proration rates indicate high investor interest, particularly in the 2054 notes (50.6% acceptance) and 2050 notes (66.2% acceptance). This strong demand could signal market confidence in Carrier's long-term prospects. However, the tender offer will result in a cash outlay, potentially impacting the company's liquidity position in the short term.

Overall, this move appears positive for Carrier, as it allows the company to optimize its debt structure in a controlled manner, potentially leading to lower interest expenses in the future.

The tender offer's structure reveals Carrier's strategic approach to debt management. By setting Series Tender Caps for the 2034 and 2054 notes ($125 million and $350 million respectively), Carrier is selectively targeting specific portions of its debt portfolio. This precision suggests a well-thought-out plan to balance debt reduction with maintaining a diverse maturity profile.

The Total Consideration offered for each series ($1,083.51, $773.99 and $1,144.27 per $1,000 principal) reflects premiums over par value, incentivizing noteholders to participate. These premiums, while costly for Carrier, demonstrate the company's commitment to this debt management initiative.

The oversubscription and resulting proration indicate strong market demand for Carrier's debt, which is a positive sign for the company's creditworthiness. This successful tender offer could potentially lead to improved credit ratings and more favorable terms for future debt issuances.

(1)

The offers with respect to the Securities are subject to the Aggregate Purchase Price and, in the case of the Notes due 2034 and the Notes due 2054, the applicable Series Tender Cap.  The Company will purchase an amount of Securities such that the aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) for all such Securities does not exceed the Aggregate Purchase Price, subject to the Acceptance Priority Levels as set forth in the table above (each, an "Acceptance Priority Level") and the Series Tender Caps.  The Company reserves the right to increase, decrease or eliminate the Aggregate Purchase Price and/or either or both of the Series Tender Caps at any time, subject to compliance with applicable law.

(2)

Each Reference Yield was determined at 10:00 a.m.,  New York City time, on August 9, 2024 by reference to the FIT1 Bloomberg page.

(3)

Per $1,000 principal amount.

(4)

Payable per each $1,000 principal amount of each specified series of Securities validly tendered at or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on August 8, 2024 (the "Early Tender Date") and accepted for purchase.

(5)

Proration rate is rounded.

The Tender Offers are being made pursuant to an offer to purchase, dated July 26, 2024 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to Purchase"), which sets forth the terms and conditions of the Tender Offers. The Tender Offers will expire one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 22, 2024, or, in each case, any other date and time to which the Company extends the applicable Tender Offer (such date and time, as it may be extended with respect to a Tender Offer, the applicable "Expiration Date"), unless earlier terminated.

The applicable consideration (the "Total Consideration") offered per $1,000 principal amount of each series of Securities validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer was determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable "Fixed Spread" for such series of Securities specified in the table above, plus the applicable Reference Yield for such series of Securities specified in the table above.

Because the aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) for the aggregate principal amount of Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City Time, on the Early Tender Date would exceed the Aggregate Purchase Price, and the aggregate principal amounts of the Notes due 2034 and Notes due 2054 validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Early Tender Date would exceed their respective Series Tender Caps, the Company will not accept for purchase all Securities that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by the Early Tender Date. The Company will accept for purchase $125,000,000 of the Notes due 2034, $350,000,000 of the Notes due 2054 and $599,577,000 of the 3.577% Notes due 2050 validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date on a prorated basis as described in the Offer to Purchase. The Company will not accept for purchase any other Securities tendered in the Tender Offers. It is anticipated that the settlement date for Securities that are validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase will be August 13, 2024.

The Company's obligation to accept for payment and to pay for the Securities validly tendered in the Tender Offers is not subject to any minimum tender condition, but is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. The Company reserves the right, subject to applicable law, at any time to (i) waive any and all conditions to any of the Tender Offers, (ii) extend or terminate any of the Tender Offers, (iii) increase, decrease or eliminate the Aggregate Purchase Price, (iv) increase, decrease or eliminate either or both of the Series Tender Caps, or (v) otherwise amend any of the Tender Offers in any respect.
