GAITHERSBURG, Md., Sept. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (NYSE: EBS) today announced that it has completed the repurchase of $75 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028 (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”), following authorization granted by its Board of Directors. In total, Emergent deployed approximately $68 million of cash for the repurchases, resulting in an average repurchase price of 90.6% of face value. Following completion of the repurchases, the outstanding aggregate principal balance of the Senior Unsecured Notes has been reduced to approximately $364.7 million.

“This bond repurchase reflects our continued discipline in deploying capital to strengthen Emergent’s financial profile while maintaining flexibility to support our strategic growth priorities,” said Joe Papa, president and CEO of Emergent. “The transactions were executed at attractive market levels, reduced our outstanding unsecured debt and further demonstrate our commitment to prudent balance sheet management as we continue advancing our multi-year transformation plan.”

Emergent continues to maintain a strong cash position on its balance sheet and has access to an additional $50 million under its asset-based revolving loan facility, providing liquidity to support the company’s ongoing key strategic priorities. The company also plans to continue to monitor market conditions and evaluate the optimal timing for refinancing the remaining outstanding Senior Unsecured Notes, which mature in August 2028.

Emergent management will discuss this important milestone, along with the company’s broader transformation progress, at the following investor conferences:

  • 21st Annual Wells Fargo Healthcare Conference, September 9, 2026
  • H.C. Wainwright 28th Annual Global Investment Conference, September 14, 2026
