Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details
- Debt Issuance: OneMain Finance Corporation (OMFC), a direct subsidiary of OMH, issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2030.
- Interest Rate: 7.875% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears beginning March 15, 2024.
- Maturity Date: December 13, 2030.

- Use of Proceeds: Net proceeds are intended to redeem the remainder of OMFC's outstanding 6.125% Senior Notes and for general corporate purposes, including potential additional debt repurchases and repayments.
- Liquidity and Cash Flow: The filing does not provide specific cash flow or liquidity metrics for the period; it focuses solely on the capital raise transaction.
Material Changes and Debt Structure
The primary material change is the addition of $700.0 million in senior unsecured debt. The Notes rank equally with all other existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness of OMFC. They are effectively subordinated to secured obligations and structurally subordinated to liabilities of OMFC's subsidiaries. The transaction replaces or reduces the outstanding 6.125% Senior Notes, resulting in a higher coupon rate (7.875%) for the new issuance.
Redemption Terms and Covenants
The Notes include specific redemption features and covenants:
- Make-Whole Redemption: Available prior to December 15, 2026, at a price specified in the Indenture.
- Call Schedule: On or after December 15, 2026, the Notes may be redeemed at the following percentages of principal:
- 2026: 103.938%
- 2027: 101.969%
- 2028 and thereafter: 100.000%
- Covenants: The Indenture limits OMFC's ability to create liens on assets and restricts consolidation, mergers, or asset sales.
- Events of Default: Include nonpayment, breach of covenants, and bankruptcy/insolvency events, allowing holders of at least 25% of the Notes to declare the principal due immediately.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact amount of the 6.125% Senior Notes being redeemed to calculate the net cash impact of the transaction.
