Sealed Air Corporation (“Sealed Air”) (NYSE: SEE) today announced the pricing of its previously announced offer to purchase for cash (the “Tender Offer”) any and all of its outstanding 5.25% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”).

The Tender Offer has been made upon the terms subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated April 5, 2022 (the “Offer to Purchase”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase.

Certain information related to the 2023 Notes and the pricing of the Tender Offer is set forth in the table below, including the Total Consideration for the 2023 Notes.

________________
(1) The page on Bloomberg from which the Dealer Manager (as defined below) quoted the bid side price of the U.S. Treasury Security. In the table above “UST” denotes a U.S. Treasury Security.
(2) Per $1,000 principal amount of 2023 Notes tendered and accepted for purchase.
(3) Included in the Total Consideration for Notes tendered and accepted for purchase on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline.
(4) Based upon a reference yield determined as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on April 19, 2022. Assumes an Early Settlement Date (as defined below) of April 20, 2022 for the 2023 Notes and does not include accrued and unpaid interest from the last date on which interest has been paid to, but excluding, the Early Settlement Date, that will be paid on the 2023 Notes accepted for purchase.

The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 2, 2022, unless extended or earlier terminated by Sealed Air (the “Expiration Time”). No tenders submitted after the Expiration Time will be valid. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, holders of 2023 Notes must have validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 18, 2022 (such date and time, the “Early Tender Deadline”) and the 2023 Notes must have been accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer to be eligible to receive the Total Consideration (as defined below), which includes the Early Tender Payment set forth in the table above. Holders of 2023 Notes tendering their 2023 Notes after the Early Tender Deadline and on or prior to the Expiration Time will only be eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration, which is the Total Consideration less the Early Tender Payment.

In addition, holders of all 2023 Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest on such 2023 Notes from the last interest payment date with respect to such 2023 Notes to, but excluding, the applicable Settlement Date (as defined below).

The Total Consideration payable by Sealed Air for the 2023 Notes (the “Total Consideration”) was determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase and is equal to a price per $1,000 principal amount intended to result in a yield equal to the yield to maturity of the U.S. Treasury reference securities specified in the table above, as determined at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on April 19, 2022, plus the fixed spread specified in the table above.

The settlement date for the 2023 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase is expected to be April 20, 2022, the second business day after the Early Tender Deadline (the “Early Settlement Date”). The settlement date for the 2023 Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Time and accepted for purchase is expected to be May 4, 2022, the second business day after the Expiration Time (the “Final Settlement Date,” and along with the Early Settlement Date, each a “Settlement Date”).

Any 2023 Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Deadline may not be withdrawn or revoked, except as required by law.

No offer will be made, nor will Sealed Air accept tenders of 2023 Notes from, holders 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.
