Pyxus is exchanging its $148,338,952 of 8.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 into common stock at $3.25 per share plus new floating rate notes, in an offer launched November 10, 2026 and expiring December 10, 2026. For equity holders this cuts near-term debt and covenant pressure but adds new shares at $3.25, so dilution and balance-sheet relief roughly offset. The offer also subordinates the existing notes and releases their collateral, signaling a negotiated distressed restructuring rather than a default.
