Chile’s Masisa raises US$300 million in debt offering
Lulu Rumsey

Chile’s Carey and the New York office of Linklaters have helped wood manufacturer Masisa with a US$300 million notes issuance.

The purchasers, Deutsche Bank Securities, Itaú BBA USA Securities, JP Morgan Securities and Scotia Capital, were advised by Chile’s Philippi, Yrarrázaval, Pulido & Brunner and US firm Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP.

The offering closed on 5 May. It will be used to refinance the Chilean company’s medium and short-term debt. All four law firms worked on a US$150 million credit agreement for the wood manufacturer in December last year, while Carey regularly assists Masisa with capital market transactions, acting as deal counsel for a US$45 million bond issuance in 2012.
