Kimberly‑Clark secures consents and amends Kenvue notes for up‑to‑$7 billion exchange
Kimberly‑Clark announced that it has obtained the required consents to amend the indenture governing all outstanding Kenvue senior notes. The amendment will allow the exchange of up to $7,000,000,000 of Kenvue notes for new Kimberly‑Clark notes, cash and an early‑participation premium. Settlement of the exchange offers is expected to occur promptly after the expiration date, no earlier than November 2 2026, and is conditioned on the closing of Kimberly‑Clark’s pending acquisition of Kenvue.
Why it matters
The conversion will replace Kenvue’s existing debt with new Kimberly‑Clark notes and cash, altering the capital structure for noteholders. Investors holding Kenvue notes should expect to receive the new notes and cash once the settlement occurs after the acquisition closes.
