E*TRADE Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:ETFC) today announced the pricing of $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes in two tranches. The first tranche of $600 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2022 will bear interest at an annual rate of 2.95% and will mature on August 24, 2022. The second tranche of $400 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2027 will bear interest at an annual rate of 3.80% and will mature on August 24, 2027 (collectively, the “Senior Notes”). E*TRADE expects to close the sale of the notes on August 24, 2017 subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Both tranches will pay interest semi-annually and will be E*TRADE’s general unsecured senior obligations. The notes will effectively rank junior to the Company’s secured indebtedness, if any, to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness and structurally subordinated to all liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries. The notes will not be guaranteed by E*TRADE’s subsidiaries.

E*TRADE will use the net proceeds from this offering, along with existing corporate cash, to redeem all of the outstanding $540 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.375% Senior Notes due 2022 and all of the outstanding $460 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (collectively, the “Existing Notes”) and to pay the associated redemption premiums, accrued and unpaid interest, and related fees and expenses. This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the Existing Notes.

Credit Suisse, J.P. Morgan, BofA Merrill Lynch and Wells Fargo Securities are serving as joint book-running managers for the offering.
