07:58 AM EST, 01/26/2026 (MT Newswires) -- MKS Instruments (MKSI) said Monday it plans to raise 1 billion euros ($1.18 billion) through the issuance of senior notes due 2034 in a private offering.

Net proceeds from the offering, alongside proceeds from other previously announced financing transactions and existing cash, will be used to prepay about $1.3 billion of, and refinance in full, its $2.2 billion tranche B term loan, as well as to refinance in full its 587 million euro tranche B term loan.

The notes will be unsecured senior obligations of MKS and will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the company's certain subsidiaries, MKS said.

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.
