An announcement from Emera ( (TSE:EMA) ) is now available.
Emera Inc. has raised US$750 million through its subsidiary Emera US Finance, LLC via a private offering of U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes, split between US$450 million of 4.500% notes due 2029 and US$300 million of 5.200% notes due 2033, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Emera and Emera US Holdings Inc. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange and are not being offered to the Canadian public, reflecting a targeted U.S. capital markets financing strategy.
