Algeco Announces Pricing of €175,000,000 6½% Senior Secured Notes Offering

LONDON, July 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Algeco Investments B.V. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"), today announced that one of its subsidiaries, Algeco Global Finance plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (the "Issuer"), has successfully priced its offering of €175,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of additional 6½% senior secured notes due 2023 at an issue price of 94.000% (the "Notes"), plus accrued interest from February 15, 2020. The Notes will be issued under the indenture dated February 15, 2018 (the "Indenture") governing, among other things, the Issuer's existing euro-denominated 6½% senior secured notes due 2023 (the "Existing Notes"), and will constitute a single class of securities with the Existing Notes for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. However, the Notes will not be fungible with the Existing Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and as a result will be issued with separate common codes and International Securities Identification Numbers from those assigned to the Existing Notes. The offering of the Notes is expected to close on or about July 10, 2020, subject to customary conditions precedent for similar transactions.

If completed, the proceeds from the offering of the Notes will be used by the Group (i) for general corporate purposes, including to fund certain strategic investments and add-on acquisitions and (ii) to pay the costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the offering of the Notes.

The Notes are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act and, if an investor is a resident of a member state of the European Economic Area (the "EEA") or of the United Kingdom, not to a retail investor. The Notes have not been 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.
