BERWYN, Pa., Feb. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Triumph Group, Inc. (NYSE: TGI) ("Triumph" or the "Company") today announced that it has commenced a refinancing of its outstanding secured bonds, through an offering of $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of senior secured first lien notes due in 2028 (the "Notes," and such offering, the "Notes Offering"). The Notes will be guaranteed (the "Guarantees") by the same subsidiaries (the "Guarantors") that guaranty Triumph's 7.750% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes"), and will be secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the Company's and the Guarantors' assets.

Triumph intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes Offering to redeem or otherwise acquire all of its outstanding 8.875% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2024 (the "Existing First Lien Notes") and 6.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the "Existing Second Lien Notes"). Subject to the successful completion of the Notes Offering, the Company intends to redeem all of the outstanding Existing First Lien Notes.

Triumph separately announced today the launch of a tender offer to acquire any or all of the Existing Second Lien Notes. To the extent that any Existing Second Lien Notes remain outstanding after completion of the tender offer, the Company intends to satisfy and discharge any outstanding Existing Second Lien Notes upon the consummation of the Notes Offering and to redeem such Existing Second Lien Notes. The final terms and amounts of the Notes are subject to market and other conditions. Assuming successful completion of the Notes Offering and the other refinancing transactions, the only other debt securities outstanding will be the 2025 Notes.

The Notes will be offered and sold only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers, as defined in, and in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and to non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. Neither the Notes nor the Guarantees will be registered under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of any jurisdiction and will not have the benefit of any exchange offer or other registration rights. The Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities, and it does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to any securities. This press release shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration and qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction.
