ICON funding rounds
| Date | Stage | Investors | Raised | Valuation | Deal Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 2026 | Undisclosed stage | - | $115M | $2.1B | On August 13, 2026, ICON Investments Six DAC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ICON plc, issued $2.15 billion of senior unsecured notes in three tranches due 2029, 2031 and 2036, all guaranteed by ICON. The notes were placed privately with institutional investors under Rule 144A and Regulation S, and the net proceeds were used between August 13 and August 17, 2026 to repay all outstanding senior secured term loans, redeem ICON’s 5.809% senior secured notes due 2027 in full, and retire borrowings under its bridge secured credit facility. The refinancing shifted ICON’s capital structure from secured to unsecured funding and triggered the release of collateral securing its revolving credit facility and existing notes, along with subsidiary guarantees under those notes, on August 17, 2026. The transaction was structured with registration rights providing for an exchange offer into registered notes with substantially similar terms. ICON plc is a global clinical research organization; its subsidiary, ICON Investments Six DAC, served as the issuer for the financing. |
