TORONTO, April 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hudbay Minerals Inc. ("Hudbay" or the "Company") (TSX, (TSX, NYSE:HBM) today announced that it has repaid in full all of its outstanding 4.50% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"), which were originally issued in an aggregate principal amount of $600 million. All amounts are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Hudbay repaid the outstanding aggregate principal amount of $472.5 million of 2026 Notes on maturity on April 1, 2026 using a combination of available cash on hand and a $272 million draw on its low-cost revolving credit facilities.
