BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Feb. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Vulcan
Materials Company (NYSE: VMC) (the "Company") announced today that it priced a private offering to eligible purchasers
of $350 million aggregate principal amount of 4.70%
Notes due 2048 (the "Notes") at an offering price of 99.887% of the principal amount thereof. The
Company expects to close the offering of the Notes on or about February 23, 2018, subject to the
satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
The Notes will be the unsecured obligations of the Company and will earn interest payable semi-annually on each September 1 and March 1 to registered holders of the Notes at a rate of
4.70% per annum.
The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or any state or other
securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an
applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws. The Company plans to
offer and issue the Notes only to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S.
persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S. The Notes will be subject to
restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except in compliance with the registration
requirements of the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption therefrom and in compliance with other applicable securities
laws.
The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes (after deducting the initial purchasers'
discounts and its estimated offering expenses) will be approximately $345 million. The net
proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be used for general corporate purposes (including the repayment or retirement of
indebtedness).
This press release is being issued pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act, and is neither an offer to sell nor a
solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of
an offer to buy, or a sale of, the Notes or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is
unlawful. The offering of the Notes is made only by, and pursuant to, the terms set forth in the related offering memorandum. The
offering of the Notes is not being made to persons in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in
compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.
