Sealed Air Corporation (“Sealed Air” or the “Company”) (NYSE:SEE) today announced the pricing of its offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of 5.500% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “Dollar Notes”) and €400 million aggregate principal amount of 4.500% senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the “Euro Notes” and, together with the Dollar Notes, the “Notes”). Sealed Air intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to repurchase, redeem or satisfy and discharge all of its outstanding 8.375% Senior Notes due 2021, including any premiums, fees and expenses in connection therewith. Net proceeds from the sale of the Dollar Notes and the Euro Notes, after initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and the Company’s estimated fees and expenses, are expected to be approximately $395 million and €395 million, respectively. We expect the offering to close on June 16, 2015, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Notes and related guarantees will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States under Regulation S of the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
