Chief Financial Officer Sarah Kuijlaars says: ‘We are delighted by the strong support shown by private placement investors in Tate & Lyle, with our offering significantly oversubscribed. The notes will enable us to refinance the bridge facility we used to part-finance the acquisition of CP Kelco, which represented an exciting step in the acceleration of our strategy to be a leading speciality food and beverage solutions business. The fixed-rate notes allow us to lock into attractive long-term interest rates, and the floating-rate notes are at a competitive margin over the secured overnight financing rate and create optionality for early repayment as we deleverage over time. Together with our existing debt, the new notes achieve our desired fixed/floating mix and extend our debt maturity profile’.
