Jeld-Wen Inc., the debt-ridden Oregon window- and door-maker preparing for a takeover, plans to downsize a junk-bond sale and offer higher interest payments to investors, market sources say.
The Klamath Falls-based business, Oregon’s largest privately owned company, intends to offer $450 million in bonds instead of the $575 million originally planned, the sources say. Notes will be due in 2017 instead of 2018.
