On September 15, 2021, CPRL entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which CPRL agreed to acquire Kansas City Southern (“KCS”) for approximately 262 million CPRL common shares and US$8.4 billion in cash. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to indirectly fund the Cash Consideration and Preferred Merger Consideration (each as defined herein), which is anticipated to be approximately US$8.4 billion, and to pay fees and expenses related to this offering and the acquisition of KCS.
This offering of the notes is not conditioned upon the consummation of the Transaction (as defined herein); provided, however, that if we determine in our reasonable judgment that the STB Final Approval (as defined herein) will not be sought or has not or will not be received prior to March 25, 2023 (the “outside date”), then we will be required to redeem all of the outstanding 2031 notes and 2041 notes on the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined herein) at a special mandatory redemption price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date, as described under the heading “Description of the Notes – Special Mandatory Redemption”.
The notes and the related guarantees will be part of our and CPRL’s respective unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of our and CPRL’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
