MTL Mullen Group Ltd

(TSX: MTL) Mullen Group Ltd. (“Mullen Group”, “We”, “Our” and/or the “Corporation”) announces that it has closed its previously announced private placement (the “Offering”) of approximately CAD$400.0 million aggregate principal amount senior secured notes due July 10, 2034 (the “Notes”).

The Notes consist of an aggregate principal amount of US$75.0 million with a yield of 6.50% per annum and CAD$300.0 million with a yield of 5.93% per annum. The Notes are guaranteed by Mullen Group’s subsidiaries, MT Investments Inc. and MGL Holding Co. Ltd. (each, a “Guarantor”) and secured by a first ranking charge over all present and after-acquired property of the Corporation and each Guarantor (the “Security”). Mullen Group intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to repay its existing private placement debt maturing in October 2024 and for general corporate purposes.

The Notes have been offered only in a private placement to institutional accredited investors in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, Canadian securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold within the United States, or to or for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person, absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Mullen Group is under no obligation, and has no intention to, register the Notes under the Securities Act, Canadian securities laws or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction in the future. The Notes have not been and will not be qualified for distribution to the public under applicable Canadian securities laws and, accordingly, any offer and sale of the securities in Canada will be made on a basis which is exempt from the prospectus and dealer registration requirements of such securities laws. The Notes have been offered in Canada on a private placement basis only to “accredited investors”.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes. This press release also does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of that jurisdiction, or an exemption is available from such registration or qualification.

Bank Credit Facilities

In conjunction with the closing of the Offering, the Corporation entered into amended and restated credit facilities with its lenders (“Amended Bank Credit Facilities”) and entered into a new $125.0 million credit agreement with The Toronto-Dominion Bank (the “TD Credit Facility”, and together with the Amended Bank Credit Facilities, the “Bank Credit Facilities”). The Bank Credit Facilities provide revolving demand credit and upsizes the borrowing capacity to the Corporation to an aggregate $525.0 million, including increasing its borrowing capacity with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce from $100.0 million to $125.0 million. All material terms in the Amended Bank Credit Facilities are substantially similar to the terms under the prior existing credit facilities and to each other (see press release dated January 8, 2024). The Bank Credit Facilities rank pari passu with the Notes and are secured by the Security.
