Alcoa Inc. Announces Proposed Debt Offering In Connection with Separation
September 20 2016 - 7:37AM
Business Wire
Alcoa Inc. (NYSE:AA) (“Alcoa”) announced today a proposed
offering of senior notes (the “Notes”) by Alcoa Nederland Holding
B.V. (the “Issuer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Alcoa Upstream
Corporation (“Alcoa Corporation”), which is currently a wholly
owned subsidiary of Alcoa.
The timing of pricing and terms of the Notes are subject to
market conditions and other factors. The Issuer intends to use the
proceeds from the proposed offering to make a payment to Alcoa to
fund the transfer of certain assets from Alcoa to the Issuer in
connection with Alcoa’s previously announced plan to separate into
two stand-alone, publicly traded companies (the “separation”) and
for general corporate purposes. The net proceeds from the proposed
offering will be held in escrow until the completion of the
separation and the satisfaction of certain other escrow release
conditions. The Notes will initially be guaranteed on a senior
unsecured basis by Alcoa Corporation and, following the separation,
by Alcoa Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries.
The Notes and related guarantees will be sold in a private
placement to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule
144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and to certain non-United States persons in offshore
transactions in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities
Act.
The Notes and related guarantees have not been and will not be
registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any
other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United
States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons absent
registration under, or an applicable exemption from, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a
solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other security and
shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or
jurisdiction in which, or to any persons to whom, such an offer,
solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offers of the Notes or
related guarantees will be made only by means of a private offering
memorandum.
