SKG.I SKG.L
Dublin, London | 17 January 2017: Smurfit Kappa Group plc (the
"Group"), one of the world's largest integrated manufacturers of
paper-based packaging products, with operations in Europe and the
Americas, today announces an offering by one of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Smurfit Kappa Acquisitions Unlimited Company, of
EUR500 million of euro denominated senior notes due 2024. The Group
intends to use the proceeds from the offering to repay existing
indebtedness, including using approximately EUR260 million to
reduce borrowings under the term loan facilities under the Senior
Facilities Agreement and EUR220 million to repay borrowings under
the Group's existing securitisation facilities. Any remaining
proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
In addition, the Group has obtained commitments to increase the
revolving facility under its Senior Facilities Agreement by up to
EUR220 million and intends to utilise the additional capacity from
time to time for general corporate purposes, including refinancing
existing indebtedness. These commitments are conditional on the
completion of the notes offering.
The notes are being offered in a private placement and there
will be no public offering of the notes. The notes will be offered
and sold only to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with
Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons
outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act").
