Linklaters LLP has represented Marfrig Overseas Limited in connection with the reopening of its 9.50% senior notes due 2020. The further issuance of US$275m 9.50% senior notes due 2020 will be consolidated with, and form a single series with, the US$500m principal amount of the notes that were originally issued on May 4, 2010. This was the third bond issuance on which Linklaters advised Marfrig in the past two years.
This bond was the first high yield debt issuance by a Brazilian company in 2014. The notes were unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Marfrig Global Foods S.A. and Marfrig Holdings (Europe) B.V. and were issued pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act. The initial purchasers for the offering included Bradesco, BTG Pactual, Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley.
