Sixes is a retail rate to my mind but then you're talking about the better part of a billion bucks here.
Hard to believe that the 10-year will rise in the coming years given current debt levels and Trump's insistence that rates come down but he also wants oil down.
Difficult circumstances to weigh up anything of this nature IMO but ultimately there'll be a reason they refinanced and a reason it was at sixes.
I should point out of course that any creditor being paid back in Dollars over the next 5-10 years is likely to see themselves decimated in real terms due to inflation and the tens of trillions of Dollars the Yanks will print in that timescale - that alone could account for the relatively high rate, nobody wants Dollars over the next decade ...
