INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Calumet, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLMT) (the “Company” or “Calumet”) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiaries, Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) and Calumet Finance Corp. (together with the Partnership, the “Issuers”), closed their private placement (the “Offering”) under Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of $405 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.75% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued at 98.996% of par for net proceeds of approximately $393 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses. The Offering was upsized to $405 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes from the original offering size of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of Notes.
As previously announced, Calumet intends to use all of the net proceeds from the Offering, together with cash on hand and borrowings under its revolving credit facility, to redeem all of the Issuers’ outstanding 11.00% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and all of the Issuers’ outstanding 8.125% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) (collectively, the “Redemptions”). This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the 2026 Notes or the 2027 Notes.
“The broad support for this over-subscribed offering was largely a result of over $220 million of restricted group debt reduction in 2025, driven by substantial cost reductions and operational improvements,” said Todd Borgmann, CEO. “The upsized offering, combined with revolver capacity created from over $120 million of cash generated in the second half of 2025, is being used to eliminate all near-term senior note maturities. This provides a runway to enhanced value creation through continued strong, dependable specialties business cash flow and Montana Renewables’ MaxSAF™ 150 expansion.”
