Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Brown & Brown, Inc. (NYSE: BRO) disclosed in an 8-K that it completed a $4.2 billion multi-tranche senior notes offering on 23 June 2025.

The company sold six series of unsecured notes: $400 MM 4.600% due 2026, $500 MM 4.700% due 2028, $800 MM 4.900% due 2030, $500 MM 5.250% due 2032, $1.0 BN 5.550% due 2035 and $1.0 BN 6.250% due 2055. Interest is payable semi-annually every 23 June and 23 December, beginning 23 Dec 2025.

Use of proceeds: together with cash and the previously announced equity sale of 43,137,254 shares, the funds will finance the cash consideration for the pending acquisition of RSC Topco, Inc. and related fees. If the merger is not consummated by the contractual outside date, the company must redeem the 2026, 2028, 2030, 2032 and 2055 notes at 101% of par plus accrued interest (the 2035 notes are excluded from this mandatory redemption).

The notes were issued under the company’s existing shelf (S-3 333-271708) and rank pari passu with all other senior unsecured debt. The governing indenture restricts the incurrence of secured debt, significant asset transfers, and contains a change-of-control put. Optional redemption is allowed subject to make-whole premiums defined in the prospectus supplement. Holland & Knight LLP provided the legality opinion.

Completion of this financing secures long-term, fixed-rate capital for the RSC transaction and extends BRO’s debt maturity profile to 2055, albeit at coupons that reflect the current higher-rate environment and will increase the company’s leverage and interest expense.

Brown & Brown, Inc. (NYSE: BRO) ha comunicato tramite un modulo 8-K di aver completato un'offerta multi-tranche di obbligazioni senior per un valore complessivo di 4,2 miliardi di dollari il 23 giugno 2025.

L'azienda ha emesso sei serie di obbligazioni non garantite: 400 milioni di dollari al 4,600% con scadenza 2026, 500 milioni al 4,700% con scadenza 2028, 800 milioni al 4,900% con scadenza 2030, 500 milioni al 5,250% con scadenza 2032, 1 miliardo al 5,550% con scadenza 2035 e 1 miliardo al 6,250% con scadenza 2055. Gli interessi saranno pagati semestralmente il 23 giugno e il 23 dicembre, a partire dal 23 dicembre 2025.

Utilizzo dei proventi: insieme alla liquidità disponibile e alla vendita azionaria precedentemente annunciata di 43.137.254 azioni, i fondi serviranno a finanziare il corrispettivo in contanti per l'acquisizione in corso di RSC Topco, Inc. e le relative spese. Qualora la fusione non venga completata entro la data contrattuale, la società sarà obbligata a rimborsare le obbligazioni 2026, 2028, 2030, 2032 e 2055 al 101% del valore nominale più gli interessi maturati (le obbligazioni 2035 sono escluse da questo rimborso obbligatorio).

Le obbligazioni sono state emesse nell'ambito dello shelf registration esistente della società (S-3 333-271708) e hanno pari rango rispetto a tutti gli altri debiti senior non garantiti. L'atto costitutivo regolatore limita l'assunzione di debito garantito, trasferimenti significativi di asset e include una clausola put in caso di cambio di controllo. È prevista la possibilità di rimborso opzionale con premi make-whole definiti nel prospetto supplementare. Holland & Knight LLP ha fornito il parere legale.

Il completamento di questo finanziamento garantisce capitale a lungo termine a tasso fisso per la transazione RSC e prolunga il profilo di scadenza del debito di BRO fino al 2055, sebbene con cedole che riflettono il contesto attuale di tassi più elevati, aumentando così la leva finanziaria e le spese per interessi della società.

Brown & Brown, Inc. (NYSE: BRO) informó en un formulario 8-K que completó una oferta de bonos senior multi-tramo por un total de 4.200 millones de dólares el 23 de junio de 2025.

La compañía emitió seis series de bonos no garantizados: 400 millones de dólares al 4,600% con vencimiento en 2026, 500 millones al 4,700% con vencimiento en 2028, 800 millones al 4,900% con vencimiento en 2030, 500 millones al 5,250% con vencimiento en 2032, 1.000 millones al 5,550% con vencimiento en 2035 y 1.000 millones al 6,250% con vencimiento en 2055. Los intereses se pagarán semestralmente cada 23 de junio y 23 de diciembre, comenzando el 23 de diciembre de 2025.

Uso de los fondos: junto con efectivo y la venta de acciones previamente anunciada de 43.137.254 títulos, los fondos financiarán la contraprestación en efectivo para la adquisición pendiente de RSC Topco, Inc. y los costos relacionados. Si la fusión no se concreta antes de la fecha límite contractual, la empresa deberá redimir los bonos de 2026, 2028, 2030, 2032 y 2055 al 101% del valor nominal más intereses acumulados (los bonos de 2035 quedan excluidos de esta redención obligatoria).

Los bonos fueron emitidos bajo el registro shelf existente de la compañía (S-3 333-271708) y tienen igual rango con toda la deuda senior no garantizada. El contrato regulador limita la asunción de deuda garantizada, transferencias significativas de activos y contiene una cláusula put en caso de cambio de control. Se permite el reembolso opcional sujeto a primas make-whole definidas en el suplemento del prospecto. Holland & Knight LLP proporcionó la opinión legal.

La finalización de esta financiación asegura capital a largo plazo con tasa fija para la transacción RSC y extiende el perfil de vencimiento de la deuda de BRO hasta 2055, aunque con cupones que reflejan el entorno actual de tasas más altas, lo que incrementará el apalancamiento y los gastos por intereses de la empresa.

Brown & Brown, Inc. (NYSE : BRO) a annoncé dans un formulaire 8-K avoir finalisé une émission d'obligations senior multi-tranches d'un montant total de 4,2 milliards de dollars le 23 juin 2025.

La société a émis six séries d'obligations non garanties : 400 millions de dollars à 4,600 % échéant en 2026, 500 millions à 4,700 % échéant en 2028, 800 millions à 4,900 % échéant en 2030, 500 millions à 5,250 % échéant en 2032, 1 milliard à 5,550 % échéant en 2035 et 1 milliard à 6,250 % échéant en 2055. Les intérêts seront payables semestriellement les 23 juin et 23 décembre, à partir du 23 décembre 2025.

Utilisation des fonds : avec les liquidités disponibles et la vente d'actions précédemment annoncée de 43 137 254 titres, les fonds serviront à financer le paiement en espèces pour l'acquisition en cours de RSC Topco, Inc. et les frais associés. Si la fusion n'est pas finalisée avant la date contractuelle limite, la société devra racheter les obligations 2026, 2028, 2030, 2032 et 2055 à 101 % de leur valeur nominale plus les intérêts courus (les obligations 2035 sont exclues de ce rachat obligatoire).

Les obligations ont été émises dans le cadre du shelf registration existant de la société (S-3 333-271708) et sont au même rang que toutes les autres dettes senior non garanties. L'acte de base limite l'émission de dettes garanties, les transferts d'actifs significatifs, et inclut une clause de put en cas de changement de contrôle. Un remboursement optionnel est autorisé sous réserve de primes make-whole définies dans le supplément de prospectus. Holland & Knight LLP a fourni l'avis juridique.

La finalisation de ce financement assure un capital à taux fixe à long terme pour la transaction RSC et prolonge le profil d'échéance de la dette de BRO jusqu'en 2055, bien que les coupons reflètent le contexte actuel de taux plus élevés, ce qui augmentera l'effet de levier et les charges d'intérêts de la société.

Brown & Brown, Inc. (NYSE: BRO) gab in einem 8-K-Bericht bekannt, dass am 23. Juni 2025 eine mehrstufige Senior-Notes-Emission in Höhe von 4,2 Milliarden US-Dollar abgeschlossen wurde.

Das Unternehmen verkaufte sechs Serien unbesicherter Anleihen: 400 Mio. USD mit 4,600 % Zinsen fällig 2026, 500 Mio. USD mit 4,700 % fällig 2028, 800 Mio. USD mit 4,900 % fällig 2030, 500 Mio. USD mit 5,250 % fällig 2032, 1 Mrd. USD mit 5,550 % fällig 2035 und 1 Mrd. USD mit 6,250 % fällig 2055. Die Zinsen werden halbjährlich jeweils am 23. Juni und 23. Dezember gezahlt, beginnend am 23. Dezember 2025.

Verwendung der Erlöse: Zusammen mit Bargeld und dem zuvor angekündigten Aktienverkauf von 43.137.254 Aktien dienen die Mittel zur Finanzierung der Barzahlung für die ausstehende Übernahme von RSC Topco, Inc. sowie der damit verbundenen Gebühren. Sollte die Fusion bis zum vertraglich festgelegten Außentermin nicht vollzogen werden, muss das Unternehmen die Anleihen 2026, 2028, 2030, 2032 und 2055 zu 101 % des Nennwerts zuzüglich aufgelaufener Zinsen zurückkaufen (die Anleihen 2035 sind von dieser Pflicht ausgenommen).

Die Anleihen wurden im Rahmen des bestehenden Shelf-Registrierungsprospekts der Gesellschaft (S-3 333-271708) emittiert und stehen im Rang gleichberechtigt mit allen anderen unbesicherten Senior-Schulden. Die zugrunde liegende Schuldverschreibung schränkt die Aufnahme von besicherten Schulden, wesentliche Vermögensübertragungen ein und enthält eine Put-Option bei Kontrollwechsel. Eine freiwillige Rückzahlung ist unter Berücksichtigung von Make-Whole-Prämien möglich, die im Prospektergänzungsblatt definiert sind. Die Rechtlichkeitsprüfung erfolgte durch Holland & Knight LLP.

Der Abschluss dieser Finanzierung sichert langfristiges Kapital zu festem Zinssatz für die RSC-Transaktion und verlängert das Fälligkeitsprofil der BRO-Schulden bis 2055, allerdings mit Kupons, die das derzeit höhere Zinsumfeld widerspiegeln und die Verschuldung sowie die Zinsaufwendungen des Unternehmens erhöhen werden.

Positive
  • $4.2 billion of capital secured, fully funding the announced RSC acquisition without relying on short-term markets.
  • Staggered maturities out to 2055 diversify the debt stack and reduce refinancing pressure.
  • Fixed-rate coupons lock in cost of capital ahead of potential rate volatility.
  • Special mandatory redemption at 101% enhances investor protection, aiding demand for the offering.
Negative
  • Issuance materially increases leverage and annual interest expense for Brown & Brown.
  • Highest coupon tranche at 6.25% reflects a comparatively expensive cost of debt.
  • If the RSC merger fails, mandatory redemption at a 1% premium triggers additional cash use and fee write-offs.

Insights

TL;DR â€� Financing locks in $4.2 bn at fixed rates, de-risks RSC deal, modestly positive for growth strategy.

The successful placement demonstrates BRO’s access to capital markets and secures funding before closing the sizable RSC acquisition. Fixed coupons between 4.6%-6.25% remove near-term rate risk and staggered maturities push significant repayments beyond 2030, supporting liquidity. The special mandatory redemption clause reassures investors in case the deal fails, helping achieve attractive order-book demand. Overall leverage will rise, but proceeds are earmarked for an accretive transaction rather than general balance-sheet funding, so I view the impact as incrementally positive to the equity story.

TL;DR â€� $4.2 bn new debt raises leverage; high coupons and redemption premium add downside if RSC deal collapses.

The issuance materially increases Brown & Brown’s senior unsecured obligations, layering on interest costs of roughly $230-$260 MM annually (simple coupon approximation). Should the acquisition fall through, the company must redeem five of six tranches at 101%, crystallising an immediate cash outflow and sunk underwriting fees. Coupons up to 6.25% lock in an expensive capital structure versus historic levels, and covenant protections for investors (secured-debt, change-of-control limits) somewhat restrict management flexibility. From a credit-risk standpoint, the filing is moderately negative.

Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 23, 2025, Brown & Brown, Inc. (the “Company”) completed the issuance and sale of $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.600% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.700% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”), $800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.900% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”), $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.250% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”), $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.550% Senior Notes due 2035 (the “2035 Notes”) and $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.250% Senior Notes due 2055 (the “2055 Notes,” and together with the 2026 Notes, the 2028 Notes, the 2030 Notes, the 2032 Notes and the 2035 Notes, the “Notes”). The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Notes, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses, were approximately $4.2 billion.

The Notes were offered and sold under the Company’s Automatic Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-271708) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 8, 2023 (the “Registration Statement”). In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated as of June 11, 2025, with BofA Securities, Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, which was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 13, 2025.

The Notes were issued pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of September 18, 2014, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (as successor to U.S. Bank National Association), as trustee (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 18, 2014, the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 11, 2019, the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 24, 2020, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of March 17, 2022, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 11, 2024, and the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 23, 2025 (the “Supplemental Indentures”, and the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indentures, the “Indenture”).

Information concerning the Notes and related matters is set forth in the Registration Statement, including the Company’s Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, which Prospectus Supplement was filed with the SEC on June 13, 2025.

The 2026 Notes bear interest at the rate of 4.600% per year and will mature on December 23, 2026. The 2028 Notes bear interest at the rate of 4.700% per year and will mature on June 23, 2028. The 2030 Notes bear interest at the rate of 4.900% per year and will mature on June 23, 2030. The 2032 Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.250% per year and will mature on June 23, 2032. The 2035 Notes bear interest at the rate of 5.550% per year and will mature on June 23, 2035. The 2055 Notes bear interest at the rate of 6.250% per year and will mature on June 23, 2055. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 23 and December 23 of each year, commencing on December 23, 2025. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equal in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, at the redemption prices specified in the Prospectus Supplement for the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the redemption date.

If the acquisition of RSC Topco, Inc. (“RSC”), a Delaware corporation (the “Transaction”), is not consummated on or prior to the later of: (x) March 10, 2026 (as such date may be extended in accordance with the Merger Agreement (as defined below) to June 10, 2026) and (y) the date that is five business days after any later date to which the Company and RSC may agree to extend the “Expiration Date” in the Merger Agreement (the “Outside Date”) or, if on or prior to such date, the Company notifies the trustee in writing that the Merger Agreement is terminated, then, in either case, the Company must redeem all of the 2026 Notes, the 2028 Notes, the 2030 Notes, the 2032 Notes and the 2055 Notes, in each case, at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the special mandatory redemption date. The 2035 Notes are not subject to the special mandatory redemption provision and will remain outstanding even if the Transaction is not consummated on or prior to the Outside Date, or, if on or prior to such date, the Company notifies the trustee in writing that the Merger Agreement is terminated (unless they are otherwise optionally redeemed pursuant to their terms).


The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Notes, together with the proceeds from its previously announced sale of 43,137,254 shares of its common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Shares”), and cash on hand, to fund the cash consideration payable under the previously announced agreement and plan of merger, dated June 10, 2025, by and among RSC, the Company, Encore Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Kelso RSC (Investor), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, solely in its capacity as the equityholder representative (the “Merger Agreement”), and to pay fees and expenses associated with the foregoing. If the Transaction is not consummated, the Company intends to use the proceeds from the offering of the Shares and the 2035 Notes for general corporate purposes.

The Indenture includes certain restrictive covenants, including covenants that limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur certain secured debt and consolidate, merge, or transfer substantially all of the Company’s assets to another entity. The covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Indenture. The Indenture also contains a covenant regarding the repurchase by the Company of the Notes upon a “change of control triggering event.”

The foregoing description of the Indenture and the Notes is qualified in its entirety by their respective terms. The Base Indenture, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of June 23, 2025, and the forms of the Notes are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, Holland & Knight LLP, counsel to the Company, delivered an opinion to the Company, dated June 23, 2025, regarding the legality of the Notes upon issuance and sale thereof. A copy of the opinion is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement.
