Silgan Announces New Senior Notes Offerings

Silgan Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq:SLGN), a leading supplier of rigid packaging for consumer goods products, announced today that it plans to offer €500 million aggregate principal amount of new senior unsecured notes maturing on June 1, 2028 and $200 million aggregate principal amount of additional 4⅛% Senior Notes due February 1, 2028, in each case subject to favorable market conditions. The additional 4⅛% Senior Notes will be an add-on issuance under Silgan’s indenture for its existing $400 million aggregate principal amount of 4⅛% Senior Notes due 2028. Silgan intends to use the net proceeds from these notes offerings to prepay most of its outstanding U.S. A term loans under its senior secured credit facility.

The notes being offered by Silgan will not initially be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, or under any state securities law and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The notes will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering would be unlawful.

In connection with this offering, a stabilizing manager (or persons acting on behalf of the stabilizing manager) may over-allot the Euro denominated notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Euro denominated notes during the stabilization period at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilization action may not necessarily occur. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the Euro denominated notes is made and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than 30 calendar days after the date on which Silgan receives the proceeds from the issuance of the Euro denominated notes or no later than 60 calendar days after the date of allotment of the Euro denominated notes, whichever is the earlier. Any stabilization action or over-allotment must be conducted by the stabilizing manager (or persons acting on behalf of the stabilizing manager) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
