Scottsdale: Rural/Metro Subsidiaries Offer Notes

Rural/Metro subsidiaries to offer $200M in notes

SCOTTSDALE — Rural/ Metro Corp., a provider of med­ical ambulance response servic­es, said Monday that two of its subsidiaries plan to begin a pri­vate offering of $200 million senior notes due 2018.

The issuers are Rural/Metro Operating Co. LLC and Rural/Metro (Delaware) Inc.

The two also plan to negotiate $175 million in secured financing to replace an existing senior se­cured revolving credit, term loan and letter-of-credit facilities.

The offering’s proceeds, cou­pled with borrowings from its new credit facility, will be used to refinance outstanding debt under its existing credit agree­ment and to refinance out­standing senior notes due in 2016; to pay related fees and ex­penses; to pay off cash collater­alized letters of credit; and for working-capital and general corporate purposes.
