Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
On December 6, 2017, RPM International
Inc. (the Company) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the Underwriting Agreement) with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several
underwriters named therein (collectively, the Underwriters), providing for the offer and sale by the Company of $300 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Notes due 2048 (the Notes).
The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. It also provides for customary
indemnification by each of the Company and the Underwriters against certain liabilities and customary contribution provisions in respect of those liabilities.
The foregoing description of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting
Agreement which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. Certain of the Underwriters and their related entities have engaged and may engage in various financial advisory, commercial banking and investment
banking transactions with the Company in the ordinary course of their business, for which they have received, or will receive, customary compensation and expense reimbursement.
Sale of Notes
On December 6, 2017, the Company agreed to sell $300 million aggregate principal amount of its Notes pursuant to the Underwriting
Agreement. The sale of the Notes is expected to close on December 20, 2017. The offering of the Notes was priced at 99.997% of the $300 million principal amount of Notes to be issued. At that price, the Notes have a yield to maturity of
4.250%.
The expected net proceeds will be approximately $296.2 million after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated
expenses related to the offering. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to repay, redeem or refinance $250.0 million in principal amount of unsecured senior notes due February 15, 2018, which bear interest
at 6.50%, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and for general corporate purposes. Pending such use, the Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to invest in high-quality short-term investments.
The offering of the Notes was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and is being made
pursuant to the Companys Registration Statement on Form
S-3
(File
No. 333-217291)
and the Prospectus included therein (the Registration
Statement), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on April 13, 2017, and the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto dated December 6, 2017 and filed with the Commission on
December 8, 2017 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) promulgated under the Securities Act.
