Weil advises bondholder AHG on Worldwide Flight Services tender offer

(the “Issuer”), to buy back all of its outstanding €340m 6.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “Euro SSNs”) and $400m 7.875% Senior Secured Notes 2027 (the “USD SSNs”, and together with the Euro SSNs, the “Notes”) – the Notes were trading at 97/98 prior to the launch of the tender offer.


WFS had recently been acquired by Singapore listed SATS Group, which had expressed its intention at the time to refinance the Notes with materially cheaper debt available to the wider group.
