TTM Prices $500 Million Notes for Epiq Acquisition
x/tude-de-la-presse-d-information-quotidienne
— Sep 10, 2026
TTM Technologies priced and announced a $500 million senior notes offering due 2034 to fund the proposed acquisition of Epiq Solutions, with proceeds plus incremental term loans expected to support the deal and potentially reduce other borrowings. The notes are guaranteed by subsidiaries, and if the Epiq transaction does not close by a defined outside date, TTM must redeem the notes at par plus accrued interest, underscoring a tight linkage between the financing and its acquisition strategy (including potential funding for Swiss Technology Group).

TTM locking the notes to the Epiq close makes sense, but that outside date redemption could leave them holding extra cash if the deal slips.

The group has also continued capital discipline with significant share buybacks and investments in freehold reversions as it navigates margin pressures.
