| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On February 19, 2020, Silgan Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with BofA Securities, Inc. and Merrill Lynch International, on behalf of themselves and as representatives of the other Initial Purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to the Initial Purchasers in a private placement in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (i) $200 million aggregate principal amount of its 41/8% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Additional 41/8% US Dollar Notes”) at 99.5 percent of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest from November 12, 2019, as an add-on issuance under its indenture for its previously issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of its 41/8% Senior Notes due 2028 and (ii) €500 million aggregate principal amount of its 21/4% Senior Notes due 2028 at 100 percent of their principal amount (the “21/4% Euro Notes”; and, together with the Additional 41/8% US Dollar Notes, the “Notes”). The closing for the sale of the Notes is subject to customary conditions and is expected to occur on or about February 26, 2020. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of the parties and indemnification and contribution provisions whereby the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities and will contribute to payments the other party may be required to make in respect thereof.
The net proceeds from the offering of the Notes will be approximately $735.1 million after deducting the Initial Purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses (which net proceeds does not include pre-issuance interest deemed to have accrued on the Additional 41/8% US Dollar Notes to the closing date for the sale of the Additional 41/8% US Dollar Notes which is to be paid by the Initial Purchasers of the Additional 41/8% US Dollar Notes). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to prepay most of its outstanding U.S. A term loans under its senior secured credit facility.
