Material Changes and Amendments
- Cap Amendment: Amrize and the Issuer amended the Exchange Offers to increase the Swiss Franc (CHF) Cap and corresponding USD Cap to CHF 1,530,000,000. This cap applies specifically to the 2026 Notes and is calculated based on the CHF/USD exchange rate on June 16, 2025.
- High Participation: The 2033 Notes saw 100% participation in the early tender phase. Other series showed significant but partial participation ranging from approximately 76% to 94%.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Expiration and Settlement: The Exchange Offers expire on June 16, 2025. Settlement is expected on June 18, 2025, assuming no extensions.
- Spin-off Independence: The spin-off of Holcim Ltd's North American business is not conditioned on the completion or results of these Exchange Offers.
- Regulatory Status: The New Notes and guarantees are not registered with the SEC. They are offered solely to Eligible Holders (QIBs or non-U.S. persons) under exemptions from registration requirements.
- Unusual Items: The filing does not report standard operating financial metrics (revenue, profit, cash flow) as it is a transaction-specific report regarding debt restructuring.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final acceptance of tenders after the June 16, 2025 expiration date, as early results may change.
- Confirm the final USD Cap calculation for the 2026 Notes based on the June 16, 2025 exchange rate.
- Review the Exchange Offer Memorandum dated May 19, 2025, for full terms and conditions.
- Monitor the issuance of New Notes on the expected settlement date of June 18, 2025.
- Assess the impact of the debt exchange on Amrize's future interest expense and liquidity position post-spin-off.
