Harley-Davidson Financial Services Announces Redemption of Medium-Term Notes Due 2028
Harley-Davidson Financial Services, Inc. Announces Redemption
In a recent announcement, Harley-Davidson Financial Services, Inc. (HDFS), a subsidiary of Harley-Davidson, Inc. (NYSE: HOG), disclosed its intention to fully redeem its outstanding 6.50% Medium-Term Notes, which are set to mature in 2028. This strategic financial move is scheduled to take place on December 12, 2025, and is expected to have significant implications for investors and the company’s financial landscape.
The redemption price has been carefully determined to be either 100% of the principal amount of the Notes or the so-called "make-whole" redemption price. This price will be calculated in accordance with the specific terms laid out in the Notes, in addition to any accrued and unpaid interest owed through the redemption date. Currently, HDFS has approximately $262.9 million of these Notes outstanding, indicating a sizeable investment that will soon be returned to the holders.
Funding for this redemption will come from HDFS's existing cash reserves, highlighting the company's robust financial position. Citibank, N.A. has been appointed as the Trustee under the Indenture that the Notes are issued under, and will also serve as the paying agent for this transaction. Interested parties can obtain further details and the official Notice of Redemption directly from the Trustee at their Jersey City, NJ office.
