Financials Market: CGI Prices C$500 Million Senior Notes Offering
CGI Inc. has priced a private offering of C$500 million in senior unsecured notes, split equally between 3.25-year and 4.75-year maturities, with interest rates of 4.195% and 4.484% respectively. The offering is expected to close around September 14, 2026, and the net proceeds of approximately C$497.3 million will be used to repay existing indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. The notes are being offered in Canada on a private placement basis through a syndicate of agents led by major Canadian financial institutions including Scotiabank, Desjardins, BMO, CIBC, National Bank, RBC, and TD Securities. This financing move is part of CGI's capital management strategy to optimize its debt structure, reflecting the company's strong market position and liquidity management.
CGI is an IT consulting firm, not directly an AdTech or MarTech company, and the news is about a debt offering, which has minimal direct relevance to the advertising technology industry.
