Newell Brands (NASDAQ: NWL) today announced the launch and pricing of an upsized public offering of $750 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes” and, together with the 2030 Notes, the “Notes”). The offering of the Notes is expected to close on November 13, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.

Newell Brands intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to redeem in full its outstanding 4.875% senior notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) and to redeem in part its outstanding 4.200% senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”).

On October 29, 2024, Newell Brands instructed the trustee of the 2025 Notes and the 2026 Notes to deliver (i) to the holders of the 2025 Notes, a conditional notice to redeem in full the outstanding 2025 Notes and (ii) to the holders of the 2026 Notes, a conditional notice to partially redeem the outstanding 2026 Notes (collectively, the “redemptions”). Each of the redemptions will be an election to effect an optional redemption, conditioned on the consummation of the offering of the Notes or an alternative debt financing satisfactory to Newell Brands and that provides net proceeds sufficient to pay the applicable redemption price for such series of notes and all fees and expenses thereto. Neither this press release nor anything contained herein shall constitute a notice of redemption or an offer to redeem or purchase any of the outstanding 2025 Notes or the 2026 Notes.
