Energizer Holdings, Inc. Announces Commencement of Offering of €650 Million Senior Notes Offering and Conditional Full Redemption of Outstanding 4.625% Senior Notes Due 2026ST. LOUIS, June 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Energizer Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ENR) (the "Company") today announced the commencement by Energizer Gamma Acquisition B.V., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Issuer"), of a €650 million offering of senior notes due 2029 (the "New Notes") in a private offering, subject to market and other customary conditions. The New Notes will be guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by the Company and certain of the Company's domestic restricted subsidiaries. The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the New Notes, together with cash on hand, to (i) fund the 2026 Notes Redemption (as defined below) and (ii) pay fees and expenses related to the 2026 Notes Redemption and the offering of the New Notes. Concurrently with the offering of the New Notes, and pursuant to the terms of the indenture (the "2026 Notes Indenture") governing the Issuer's 4.625% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"), the Issuer will give a notice of conditional redemption to redeem in full the €650 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Notes (the "2026 Notes Redemption"). The 2026 Notes Redemption is conditioned upon, among other requirements, the consummation of the offering of the New Notes on terms and conditions satisfactory in all respects to the Issuer in its sole discretion. The date the Issuer has fixed for the 2026 Notes Redemption is July 9, 2021, which may be delayed by the Issuer in its sole discretion pursuant to the terms of the 2026 Notes Indenture (such date, as it may be so delayed, the "redemption date"), subject to the conditions for redemption being satisfied or waived. The aggregate redemption price for the 2026 Notes will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes redeemed plus a "make-whole" premium calculated as set forth in the 2026 Notes and the 2026 Notes Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. The redemption price for the 2026 Notes will be calculated no later than two business days prior to the redemption date in accordance with the terms of the 2026 Notes. The New Notes and related guarantees are being offered for sale to qualified institutional buyers in an offering of senior notes exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. No assurance can be given that the offering of the New Notes will be completed, or, if completed, as to the terms on which it is completed. The New Notes and related guarantees will not be registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act. This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption under the 2026 Notes Indenture or an obligation to issue a notice of redemption. Any such notice, if given, will only be given in accordance with the provisions of the 2026 Notes Indenture. About Energizer Holdings, Inc. Energizer Holdings, Inc.
