New Delhi: The world’s largest steel maker ArcelorMittal plans to raise $650 million through issue of securities for meeting general financing needs and retiring debt.
Reset of the rate would be done in the fifth year and subsequently every five years thereafter.
'The proceeds of the issue will be used for the general financing purposes of ArcelorMittal and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the repayment of existing debt,' the statement said.
There will be a step up in interest of 25 basis points on the second reset date and a subsequent step-up of 75 basis points 15 years later.
ArcelorMittal said it would be entitled to buyback the securities in year five, in year ten, and on subsequent interest payment dates.
'The company will also have the option to redeem the securities upon specific accounting, tax, rating agency or change of control events,' the statement said.
