McGraw Hill completes $1.33 billion refinancing and extends debt maturities

McGraw Hill issued $400 million of 8.000% senior secured notes due 2033 and closed on a $930 million senior secured term loan. The proceeds were used to redeem 5.750% notes due 2028 and to refinance existing term loan facilities. The company also extended its revolving credit facility to October 2031 and raised the available commitment to $150 million while reaffirming its net‑debt‑to‑adjusted‑EBITDA target of 2.0‑2.5×.

The refinancing lowers the company’s weighted‑average interest rate and pushes debt maturities further into the future, supporting its leverage target. Investors gain a clearer view of McGraw Hill’s balance‑sheet strength and cash‑flow flexibility.
