Thames Water is seeking to buy back debt which matures in 2025 and issuing up to £750 million term in long term bonds.

A tender offer and new issue published by Thames Water Utilities Finance Plc yesterday via the Regulatory News Service operated by the London Stock Exchange plc is inviting current holders of its outstanding Class A £500,000,000 4 per cent. Guaranteed Unwrapped Bonds which are due June 2025 to tender their Notes for purchase by the company for cash.

The Rationale for the Offer set out in the document states:

“The purpose of the Offer and the planned issuance of New Notes (as defined below) is, amongst other things, to optimise the Company's debt maturity profile. Furthermore, the Offer will provide liquidity to those holders whose Notes are accepted and purchased in the Offer.”

Bloomberg is describing the latest financial developments at the water company as “an effort that could give the embattled utility more time to regain its financial footing.”
