Talen Energy Supply, LLC Announces Pricing of Senior Secured Notes Offering

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, June 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Talen Energy Supply, LLC (the "Company" or "Talen Energy Supply") announced today that it has priced an offering of $470 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the "Notes"). The offering is expected to close on July 8, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions.

Talen Energy Supply intends to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand and proceeds from a new seven-year $500 million Term Loan B facility that it began syndicating today and expects to close concurrently with the closing of the Notes (the "New Term Loan B"), to repay in full its existing Term Loan B-1 and Term Loan B-2 and to pay transaction fees and expenses.

The Notes will be offered and sold only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.
