07:07 AM EDT, 09/24/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Chemtrade Logistics Income Fund (CHE-UN.TO), which closed down but hit 52-week highs Tuesday, announced overnight that its unit, Chemtrade Logistics, priced a private placement offering of $250 million principal amount of Senior Unsecured Notes due 2032.

The company said the notes will be sold at $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of notes, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 5.750% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1, starting on April 1, 2026. It added that the notes will be guaranteed by the fund and certain of its units.

Proceeds of the offering, expected to close on or about Oct. 1, will be used to repay indebtedness and for general corporate needs.

"We recently announced a series of transactions to reduce our exposure to dilutive capital, including a redemption and substantial issuer bid for our outstanding 2027 convertible debentures and a substantial issuer bid for our outstanding 2028 convertible debentures," said Chemtrade chief financial officer Rohit Bhardwaj. "Those transactions are intended to minimize conversions that may dilute our unitholders."

"This offering is another step in furtherance of our capital optimization strategy and maturing our balance sheet by introducing long-tenor non-dilutive debt," added Bhardwaj.

Shares of the company closed down 1% to $13.3 on the Toronto Stock Exchange Tuesday.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
