Newell Brands Announces Early Results of its Waterfall Tender Offer

HOBOKEN, NJ – August 26, 2019 — Newell Brands Inc. (NASDAQ: NWL) (the “Company” or “Newell Brands”) announced today the early results of its previously announced tender offer to purchase for cash up to $356,746,000 aggregate principal amount (the “Maximum Waterfall Tender Amount”) of the Company’s outstanding 3.850% Notes due 2023, 4.000% Notes due 2022 and 4.200% Notes due 2026 (collectively, the “Waterfall Notes”), subject to the Acceptance Priority Levels as defined below (such offer, the “Waterfall Offer”). The Waterfall Offer is being made upon and is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated August 12, 2019 (the “Offer to Purchase”).

The following table sets forth the aggregate principal amount of the Waterfall Notes that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Waterfall Offer as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 23, 2019 (the “Waterfall Early Tender Deadline”), except for series of Waterfall Notes that are not expected to be accepted for purchase, as explained below. The withdrawal deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 23, 2019 has passed and, accordingly, Waterfall Notes validly tendered in the Waterfall Offer may no longer be withdrawn except where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.

(1) The Total Consideration payable for each $1,000 principal amount of Waterfall Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Waterfall Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase by us includes the applicable Early Tender Premium. In addition, holders whose Waterfall Notes are accepted will also receive accrued interest on such Waterfall Notes.

(2) As reported by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the information agent and tender agent for the Waterfall Offer.

(3) Expected to be accepted for purchase, and paid for, on the Waterfall Early Settlement Date.

Because the aggregate principal amount of validly tendered Waterfall Notes exceeded the Maximum Waterfall Tender Amount, the Waterfall Notes will be purchased subject to the Maximum Waterfall Tender Amount, the acceptance priority levels (the “Acceptance Priority Levels”) and proration as described in the Offer to Purchase. Accordingly, the Company expects to accept for purchase, and pay for, $356,746,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.850% Notes due 2023 on a prorated basis, and none of its 4.000% Notes due 2022 or 4.200% Notes due 2026, on the Waterfall Early Settlement Date (as defined below).

Holders of Waterfall Notes that were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn at or prior to the Waterfall Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Total Consideration (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), which includes the applicable Early Tender Premium specified in the table above. Payments for Waterfall Notes purchased will include accrued and unpaid interest from and including the last interest payment date applicable to the relevant series of Waterfall Notes up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date for such Waterfall Notes accepted for purchase. The settlement date for Waterfall Notes tendered at or prior to the Waterfall Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase is expected to be August 27, 2019 (the “Waterfall Early Settlement Date”). The Company expects to issue a press release on August 26, 2019 announcing the Total Consideration payable in connection with the Waterfall Offer and the proration rates for the applicable series of Waterfall Notes expected to be accepted for purchase on the Waterfall Early Settlement Date.
