On February 26, 2020, Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it intends to offer to sell $550 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured guaranteed notes (the “Secured Notes”) in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and $400 million aggregate principal amount of senior guaranteed notes (together with the Secured Notes, the “Notes”) in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. This announcement was contained in a press release, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell, nor a solicitation of an offer to buy, the Notes or any other securities. The Notes will not be and have not been registered under the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
In connection with the offerings of the Notes, the Company will convey to potential investors that its gross leverage near-term target of 3x or below will be achievable by the end of 2021. The Company will also disclose that, with the completion of the Toledo HBI construction, debt repayment will be its priority allocation of capital and that it is committed to not repurchase its common shares or increase its dividend per common share until its near-term leverage target is achieved.
