Carter's Inc. on Feb. 28 announced a proposed offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2027.

The Atlanta-based clothing retailer said it will use the proceeds to fully redeem its existing 5.25% senior notes due 2021, repay part of the outstanding indebtedness under its secured revolving credit facility and pay related fees and expenses.

The notes are being offered for sale to qualified institutional buyers in offerings exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to persons outside the U.S. in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
