As previously announced, on October 26, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Altra Industrial Motion Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Altra”) (the “Merger”). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes Offering, together with term loan borrowings under its senior credit facilities and cash on hand, to fund the Merger, repay its outstanding Senior Notes Due 2032 and certain of Altra’s outstanding indebtedness and pay related fees and expenses. The closing of the Notes Offering is not conditioned on the closing of the Merger, which, if completed, will occur at or subsequent to the closing of the Notes Offering.

 

This press release does not and will not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities, nor will there be any sale of the Notes or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The Notes and the related note guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state or other jurisdiction’s securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction.
