US food group General Mills has announced an agreement to sell US$1.0bn of convertible senior notes due in 2037.
The company, which includes brands such as Cheerios, Betty Crocker cake mix and Hamburger Helper in its portfolio, said the convertible notes will bear interest at a floating rate equal to one-month LIBOR minus 0.07%, subject to monthly reset and payable quarterly in arrears.
The notes have an initial conversion rate of ten shares of General Mills’ common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the convertible notes, resulting in an initial conversion price of $100 per share.
General Mills said it plans to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay a portion of its outstanding US commercial paper.
