PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Arconic Corp. (NYSE: ARNC) (“Arconic” or “the Company”) announced today that it closed its offering of first lien notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $700 million at 6.000% interest per annum, with a maturity date of May 15, 2025.

The Company also replaced its cash flow revolver with a new asset-based credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) with aggregate commitments of $800 million. Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch is Administrative Agent for the ABL Facility. Availability under the ABL Facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation generally based upon a set percentage of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, less customary reserves.

Chief Executive Officer Tim Myers said, “This recapitalization provides us with the right capital structure for our Company moving forward. Demand for the Notes and participation in the ABL Facility was exceptionally strong, and as a result, we were able to upsize the recapitalization from $1.35 billion to $1.5 billion in the aggregate without any increase to pricing.”

The Company used the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, to prepay in full the obligations outstanding under its senior secured first-lien term loan B facility, and prepay in full the obligations outstanding under its revolving credit facility and terminate in full the commitments thereunder. The Notes and the ABL Facility are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. Each of the Notes and the related guarantees are secured on a first-priority basis by liens on certain assets of the Company and the guarantors and on a second-priority basis by certain other assets of the Company and the guarantors that constitute first-priority collateral for the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility is secured on a first-priority basis by liens on accounts receivable, inventory and certain other ABL priority collateral and on a second-priority basis by certain other assets.

The Notes and related guarantees were sold in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Notes and related guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration under, or an applicable exemption from, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
