tender offers

Rocket Companies (RKT) extended the expiration date to September 30, 2025, for its tender offers and consent solicitations regarding Nationstar’s senior notes, a subsidiary of Mr. Cooper. The offers are linked to Rocket’s pending acquisition of Mr. Cooper. Rocket secured consents to amend indentures, removing change of control offer requirements. As of September 2, 2025, approximately 88% and 89% of the 2030 and 2031 notes, respectively, were tendered. The offers are subject to customary conditions, including the completion of the Mr. Cooper acquisition.

TELUS Corporation has finalized pricing for its cash tender offers to repurchase outstanding notes. This strategic debt management move specifies terms for various series of senior notes maturing between 2030 and 2051. The company expects to settle these transactions on July 3, 2025. RBC Dominion Securities Inc. and others are managing the offers.

BlackRock’s closed-end funds, including BOE and BCX, saw heavy oversubscription in their tender offers, exceeding the 2.5% buyback cap due to heightened investor demand for liquidity amid shifting rate expectations. Shares will be repurchased at 98% of May 20 NAVs ($11.88 for BOE; $9.73 for BCX), with prorated allocations. Analysts interpret the surge as tactical positioning ahead of anticipated Fed actions. BlackRock emphasized transparency amid market volatility but cautioned about uncertainties impacting future operations, highlighting broader trends where liquidity preferences shape portfolio strategies.
