NEW YORK, May 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — INTL FCStone Inc.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, together with cash on hand, to (1) fund the cash consideration for the merger of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary and GAIN Capital Holdings, Inc. (“GAIN”), with GAIN surviving as the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 26, 2020 (the “Merger”), (2) fund the repayment of GAIN’s 5.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 and (3) pay certain related transaction fees and expenses.The Company will deposit the gross proceeds of the offering into a segregated escrow account until the date that certain escrow release conditions are satisfied.  The escrow release conditions include, among other things, the consummation of the Merger.  Prior to the satisfaction of the escrow release conditions, the Notes will not be guaranteed and will be the Company’s senior secured obligations, secured by a first-priority security interest in the escrow account and all deposits and investment property therein.  Following satisfaction of the escrow release conditions, the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior second lien secured basis, by certain subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee the Company’s senior credit facility and by GAIN and certain of its domestic subsidiaries.  Following satisfaction of the escrow release conditions, the Notes and the related guarantees will be secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ assets, subject to certain customary and other exceptions and permitted liens.  The liens on the Company’s and the guarantors’ assets that secure the Notes and the related guarantees will be contractually subordinated to the liens on the Company’s and the guarantors’ assets that secure the Company’s and the guarantors’ existing and future first lien secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Company’s senior credit facility, as a result of the lien subordination provisions of an intercreditor agreement to be entered into by the collateral agent for the Notes and the agent for the Company’s revolving credit facility.
