Bausch Health to redeem $643 million of 8.5% senior notes due 2027

Bausch Health Companies Inc. announced it will fully redeem $643 million of its 8.5% senior notes that mature in 2027. The redemption will be executed on November 30 2026, after a notice is issued on October 29 2026. The company will use cash on hand for the repayment, aiming to lower its high‑coupon debt.

The redemption reduces Bausch Health's outstanding debt at a relatively high interest rate, which could improve its balance‑sheet leverage and free cash flow. The company’s use of cash on hand means no new financing is required.
