The net borrowing rate to the company will be 1.421%.

The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the company and certain Celanese domestic subsidiaries, similar to prior issuances.

“This deal is another transaction that will extend our debt maturity profile and reduce our interest expense. The continued strength of our business performance is reflected in a recently improved credit rating and outlook, allowing us to extend our debt maturities at lower borrowing costs,” said Scott Richardson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
