Situation
Kansas City Southern Railway frequently seeks corporate, finance, dispute and other operational advice from Husch Blackwell. We were called in for an exchange offer of registered senior notes for unregistered senior notes for a company subsidiary: Kansas City Southern de Mexico, operator of a key commercial corridor of the Mexican railroad system.
Result
We guided the exchange of $300 million of 8.0% senior notes due in 2018. This was registered on a Securities and Exchange Commission Form S-4 following an earlier Rule 144A private placement.
