SEC filingAmphenol issued €1.1 billion in senior notes to repay commercial paper and a term loan, strengthening its capital structure.
Amphenol Corporation issued €1.1 billion in senior notes across two tranches: €600 million of 3.375% notes due 2029 and €500 million of 3.875% notes due 2034. The offering was conducted under an existing indenture and an officers' certificate dated May 12, 2026. Net proceeds of approximately €1,093.1 million will be used to repay outstanding borrowings under the company's U.S. commercial paper program and its 364-day unsecured delayed draw term loan credit agreement, with the remainder for general corporate purposes. The notes are unsecured senior obligations ranking equally with all other unsecured senior indebtedness. Interest is payable annually on May 12, beginning May 12, 2027. The notes include make-whole redemption provisions prior to their respective par call dates (April 12, 2029 for the 2029 notes and February 12, 2034 for the 2034 notes) and a change of control repurchase feature at 101% of principal plus accrued interest. This refinancing extends Amphenol's debt maturity profile and reduces reliance on short-term borrowing, enhancing financial flexibility.
