Rivian Replaces 2026 Debt with $1.25 Billion in 10% Senior Secured Green Notes Due 2031

Rivian Automotive, Inc. announced it has completed a major refinancing transaction through the issuance of $1.25 billion in 10.000% Senior Secured Green Notes due 2031. The new notes, issued by wholly owned subsidiaries of Rivian, replace and fully redeem the company's previously outstanding $1.25 billion floating rate senior secured notes due 2026.

The 2031 Green Notes will bear interest semi-annually and mature on January 15, 2031. Redemption terms include a call option at par with an early redemption premium if exercised before January 15, 2030. Rivian may also redeem up to 40% of the notes at 110% of par using proceeds from qualifying equity offerings through January 2028. A change of control provision entitles noteholders to repayment at 101% of face value.

The notes are secured on a first-lien basis by substantially all assets of Rivian’s issuing subsidiaries, excluding certain collateral prioritized under Rivian’s asset-based lending (ABL) facility. Once funded, the company’s pending DOE loan facility will also be part of the security structure.

Net proceeds from the transaction, along with cash on hand, were used to redeem the 2026 Notes and cover associated fees and expenses. The indenture governing the new debt includes customary covenants and event-of-default clauses.

The successful refinancing further solidifies Rivian’s capital structure and extends its debt maturity profile while advancing its ESG-aligned financing strategy.
