CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sealed Air Corporation (“SEE”) (NYSE: SEE) today announced the total consideration (the “Total Consideration”) relating to its previously announced cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of its 5.500% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) is $998.77 for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer. The Total Consideration was determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 17, 2024 (the “Offer to Purchase”), by reference to a fixed spread of 50 basis points plus the yield to maturity of 5.133% based on the bid-side price of the reference security (2.875% due June 15, 2025), as quoted on the Bloomberg Bond Trader PX3 page as of 2:00 p.m., New York City time, today. In addition to the Total Consideration, SEE will also pay accrued and unpaid interest on Notes purchased up to, but not including, June 28, 2024, which is the expected settlement date (the “Settlement Date”) of the Tender Offer. For the avoidance of doubt, accrued interest will cease to accrue on the Settlement Date for all Notes accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer, including Notes tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer to Purchase.
