Clean Harbors, Inc. (“Clean Harbors”) (NYSE: CLH) announced today that it has priced a private offering of $845 million of senior notes. The offering size was increased from the previously announced aggregate principal amount of $800 million. The offering consists of $545 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.875% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) and $300 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.125% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes,” and together with the 2027 Notes, the “Notes”).

Each series of Notes was priced for purposes of resale at 100.000% of its respective aggregate principal amount. The issuance and sale of the Notes is expected to close on or about July 2, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions. Clean Harbors intends to use the net proceeds of the offering as partial consideration to purchase any and all of its $845.0 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 5.125% senior notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) which are accepted for purchase in the tender offer and consent solicitation for the 2021 Notes which Clean Harbors commenced on June 18, 2019, and to redeem any 2021 Notes which are not purchased through such tender offer.

The Notes will be sold to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. 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. The Notes 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 absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
