Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On November 5, 2009, Service Corporation International, a Texas corporation (“SCI”), issued a press release announcing that, subject to market and other conditions, SCI intends to offer senior notes in an underwritten public offering under a shelf registration statement (the “Offering”). A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. SCI intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering, together with available cash, to fund SCI’s acquisition of Keystone North America Inc.
The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Information set forth in this release contains forward-looking statements, which involve a number of risks and uncertainties. SCI cautions readers that any forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance and that actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking information. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the business combination transaction involving SCI and Keystone, including future financial and operating results, the anticipated timing of the closing of the transaction, the combined company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other statements that are not historical facts.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: the ability to obtain regulatory approvals of the transaction on the proposed terms and schedule; the failure to achieve the minimum tender condition in the tender offer; the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; the risk that the cost savings and any other synergies from the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected; disruption from the transaction making it more difficult to maintain relationships with customers, employees or suppliers. Additional factors that may affect future results are contained in SCI's filings with the SEC, which are available at SCI's website www.sci-corp.com or at the SEC's web site www.sec.gov. SCI disclaims any obligation to update and revise statements contained in these materials based on new information or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
