Tenet Healthcare Corporation has priced its private offering of senior notes, increasing the aggregate principal amount to $2.0 billion from the previously announced $1.5 billion. The notes, due September 15, 2034, will bear interest at 6.250% per annum, with the offering expected to close on September 22, 2026. Tenet plans to use the net proceeds, along with cash on hand, to redeem all $1.5 billion of its 5.125% senior secured first lien notes due November 2027 and to partially redeem $0.5 billion of its 6.125% senior notes due October 2028. The new notes will be unsecured obligations, ranking equally with existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior to subordinated obligations, but effectively subordinated to secured debt and structurally subordinated to subsidiary liabilities. The offering is limited to qualified institutional buyers and non-U.S. persons under applicable securities laws.
