SELECTA GROUP ANNOUNCES PRICING OF €150 MILLION OF SENIOR SECURED NOTES

Cham, 16. October 2019, Selecta Group B.V. (“Selecta”) today announced that it has successfully priced its previously announced offering of €150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes (the “Notes”). The Notes will comprise €100,000,000 57 /8% senior secured notes due 2024 to be issued at a price of 101.500%, plus accrued and unpaid interest from October 1, 2019, and €50,000,000 senior secured floating rate notes due 2024 to be issued at a price of 99.500%, plus accrued and unpaid interest from October 1, 2019. The Notes will be issued under the indenture (the “Indenture”) governing Selecta’s outstanding euro-denominated 57 /8% senior secured notes due 2024 and euro-denominated senior secured floating rate notes due 2024 (the “Existing Notes”), and will form a single series with the applicable series of Existing Notes for all purposes under the Indenture. The Notes will have the same ISINs and common codes as the relevant Existing Notes, provided that the Notes sold pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) will initially be issued bearing a temporary ISIN and common code. The offering of the Notes is expected to close on 21 October 2019.

The proceeds from the Notes will primarily be used to repay drawn amounts under Selecta’s revolving credit facility and enhance liquidity, with additional cash on the balance sheet to be used for general corporate purposes and to pay fees and expenses in connection with the transaction.

The Notes are being offered to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
