NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Oppenheimer
Holdings Inc. ("OPY" or "the Company") announced today that it is
proposing to issue $125 million
aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2025 (the
"Notes") in a private offering that is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"). The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured
basis by OPY's subsidiaries, E.A. Viner International Co. and Viner
Finance Inc. The Notes will be secured by a first-priority security
interest in substantially all of OPY's and the subsidiary
guarantors' existing and future tangible and intangible assets.
The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any
state securities law and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an
applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws. The Notes will be offered in
the United States only to
qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities
Act and outside the United States
under Regulation S of the Securities Act.
OPY intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the
Notes, along with cash on hand, to redeem in full its 6.75% Senior
Secured Notes due July 1, 2022, and
pay all related fees and expenses in relation thereto. The proposed
offering of the Notes is subject to market and other conditions,
and may not occur as described or at all.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or
the solicitation of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an
