CPG International Inc. Announces Closing of New $350 Million Senior Secured Credit Facilities, Expiration of Consent Payment Deadline in Tender Offers for Its Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2012 and 10 1/2% Senior Notes due 2013 and Redemption of Any Notes Remaining Outstanding After Tender Offers

SCRANTON, Pa., Feb. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- CPG International Inc. (the "Company" or "CPG") announced today that the Company closed a $65.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the "ABL Facility") and a $285.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan" and, together with the ABL Facility, the "New Senior Secured Facilities").  The ABL Facility has a term of 5 years and bears interest at LIBOR plus a range of 2.25% to 2.75% based on average excess availability.  The Term Loan has a term of 6 years and bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.50%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.50%.  The New Senior Secured Facilities will be used to refinance the Company's existing senior secured term loan, pay the consideration and costs relating to the Offers (as defined below) and for general corporate purposes.

"The refinancing announced today provides CPG with significant financial flexibility," said Scott Harrison, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.  "This transaction lowers our cost of capital and reduces our interest expense thereby enabling us to continue investing in our key growth initiatives.  Additionally, we have reduced our refinancing risk by extending our debt maturities until 2016 and 2017."

The Company also announced that the consent deadline (the "Consent Time") under the previously announced cash tender offers (the "Tender Offers") by its wholly-owned subsidiary, CPG International I Inc. ("CPG International"), for any and all of CPG International's outstanding Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2012 (the "Floating Rate Notes") and any and all of CPG International's outstanding 10 1/2% Senior Notes due 2013 (the "Fixed Rate Notes" and, together with the Floating Rate Notes, the "Notes") and related consent solicitations to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and eliminate or modify certain events of default and related provisions contained in the indenture governing the Notes (the "Solicitations" and, together with the Tender Offers, the "Offers") has expired.

On February 18, 2011, CPG International accepted for payment, and paid for, all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Consent Time, comprising $245,472,000 in aggregate principal amount (representing approximately 88.3%) of outstanding Notes. Pursuant to the Solicitations, CPG International received consents from greater than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (determined as provided for in the indenture governing the Notes) to amend, and has executed a supplemental indenture to, the indenture governing the Notes. After the purchase by CPG International of all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Consent Time, $4,620,000 and $27,908,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes and the Fixed Rate Notes, respectively, remain outstanding.

Any Notes validly tendered after the Consent Time but before the expiration of the Tender Offers will not receive the consent payment, but will be eligible to receive (1) the purchase price of $974.50 per $1,000 principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the final payment date for the tendered Floating Rate Notes; and (2) the purchase price of $1,003.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the final payment date for the tendered Fixed Rate Notes. The Tender Offers remain open and are scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on March 2, 2011, unless extended by CPG International (the "Expiration Date"). Other than as required by applicable law, tendered Notes may not be withdrawn. The Company currently expects to have a final payment date promptly following the Expiration Date for any Notes tendered after the Consent Time.
