By Susanna Moon
Chicago, Sept. 27 - Walter Energy Inc. said it repurchased $250 million principal amount of its term loan A at an average price of $98.3 per $100 of principal amount plus accrued interest.
Walter completed a Dutch auction to repurchase and retire the notes, according to a company press release.
The company said on Sept. 19 that it would use the proceeds of its offering of $350 million of senior secured notes due 2019 to repurchase up to $175 million of its term loan A through a Dutch auction process and for general corporate purposes.
Walter later increased the planned loan paydown to $250 million after upsizing the related issuance of notes due 2019 to $450 million.
Walter is a Birmingham, Ala.-based pure-play metallurgical coal producer for the global steel industry.
