Griffon Corporation closed an $800 million private placement of 6.25% senior notes due 2034 and amended its credit facility to extend the maturity to August 18, 2031. The company redeemed all 2028 notes, eliminating near-term maturities, and added liquidity through a $500 million revolver plus $125 million LC and $200 million FX facilities.
