How will the net proceeds from the offering be allocated, specifically how much will go to repaying the revolving credit facility versus other uses?

Answer

The press release states that MSCI will use the net proceeds from the senior‑unsecured notes offering for two broad purposes:

  1. To repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility
  2. To fund other, related corporate purposes (the wording in the release is cut off after “to pay relat
”, which is typically followed by language such as “to pay related expenses, investments, or other general corporate purposes”).

What the release does not disclose

  • No dollar‑amount breakdown is provided. The announcement does not specify how much of the net proceeds will be applied to the revolving credit facility versus the “other” uses.
  • No percentage split is given, nor is there a total expected net‑proceeds figure that would allow a calculation of the allocation.

Implications

  • The company’s intent is to reduce the balance on its revolving credit facility, thereby improving its liquidity profile and potentially lowering borrowing costs.
  • The remaining proceeds will be directed to unspecified “related” corporate needs—these could include working capital, acquisitions, debt‑refinancing, or other strategic initiatives, as is typical for such offerings.

Where to find the details

  • The exact allocation (e.g., “$X million will go to repay the revolving credit facility and $Y million will be used for other purposes”) is likely to be disclosed in the offering’s prospectus or the definitive agreement that will be filed with the SEC once the offering is finalized.
  • Until those documents are made public, the only information available is the high‑level statement that the proceeds will be split between repayment of the revolving credit facility and other corporate uses.

Bottom line: Based on the current news release, MSCI plans to use the net proceeds to (i) pay down its revolving credit facility and (ii) fund other related corporate purposes, but the specific amounts or percentages for each purpose have not been disclosed.
