Tender Offer and Early Redemption Expected to be Funded by
Proposed $400 Million Term Loan B Debt Financing to be Completed on June
30, 2017
NORWELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 28, 2017--
Clean Harbors, Inc. (NYSE: CLH) (“Clean Harbors” or the “Company”) today
announced the early tender results for its previously announced cash
tender offer to purchase up to $400.0 million aggregate principal amount
of the Company’s outstanding $800.0 million aggregate principal amount
of 5.25% senior notes due 2020 (the “Notes”). The terms of the Tender
Offer are detailed in the Company’s Offer to Purchase dated June 14,
2017 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and a related Letter of Transmittal.
An aggregate of approximately $296.2 million principal amount of Notes
were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of 5:00 p.m., New
York City time, on June 27, 2017 (such date and time, the “Early
Participation Date”). Of those validly tendered Notes, the Company has
accepted for purchase all of the approximately $296.2 million principal
amount of Notes which were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as
of the Early Participation Date.
The Company expects to redeem, in accordance with the terms of the
indenture which governs the Notes, Notes having an aggregate principal
amount of approximately $103.8 million. Under the indenture, the Notes
may be redeemed on or after August 1, 2017 for 101.313% of their
principal amount, plus accrued interest.
The Company will not be required to purchase any of the Notes tendered
unless certain conditions have been satisfied, including the receipt of
proceeds from a proposed debt financing on terms satisfactory to the
Company in an amount that, together with available cash, will be
sufficient to purchase or redeem $400.0 million aggregate principal
amount of Notes and pay any premium, accrued and unpaid interest and
fees and expenses in connection therewith. The Company expects to
satisfy that condition through a proposed Term Loan B debt financing to
be completed on June 30, 2017.
Under the terms of the tender offer, holders of the approximately $296.2
million aggregate principal amount of Notes which the Company has
accepted for purchase will be paid, for each $1,000 principal amount of
Notes accepted for purchase, cash in an amount equal to $1,015.75 (the
“Total Consideration”), which includes an early participation payment of
$50.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase (the
“Early Participation Payment”). The Company now expects to make payment
for the accepted Notes on June 30, 2017 (the “Early Payment Date”). In
addition to the Total Consideration, all Notes accepted for purchase
will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from the
last interest payment date to, but not including, the Early Payment Date.
This announcement is not an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an
offer to sell with respect to any Notes. Any offer to purchase the Notes
is made by means of the Offer to Purchase and related Letter of
Transmittal. No offer to purchase will be made in any jurisdiction in
which such an offer to purchase would be unlawful.
