Snap shares fall after the announcement of the bond offering

Snap shares plunge sharply.

 

Snapchat announced its intention to issue $700 million

in bonds due in 2033 to finance general corporate and refinance existing debt. 

This announcement led to an immediate 2.5% decline in Snap shares. 

The company expects that the bond offering will lead to an increase in trading activity in its Class A common stock.

It is worth noting that the bonds will only be offered to buyers qualified 

institutional and non-US persons residing outside the US.
