Fresenius Medical to sell $900M in notes offering

By Michelle Lang

Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. KGaA, a German dialysis products provider that has its U.S. headquarters in Waltham, is planning a notes offering of $500 million in senior unsecured notes due 2021 and approximately $405 million of senior unsecured notes due 2021, issued by wholly owned subsidiaries Fresenius Medical Care US Finance Inc. and FMC Finance VII S.A., respectively. The company plans to use the financing to re-pay debts and make acquisitions, including its recent buy of International Dialysis Centers from Euromedic International for about $650 million.

The notes sales are being offered to “qualified institutional buyers.” The company said in a press release today that it is not planning a public offering of the senior notes.

Fresenius Medical Care (NYSE: FMS) was founded in 1996 through the merger of Fresenius Worldwide Dialysis and National Medical Care.
