Mercer International Uses Grace Period After Skipping Interest Payment. Mercer International skipped a roughly $25.8 million interest payment due on October 1 for its 2028 notes, utilizing a 30-day grace period. The company's board and an ad hoc group are working to address upcoming debt maturities, with management expressing optimism about announcing a transaction soon. This development highlights significant financial stress, as the stock trades near its 52-week low.
