FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., May 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kaiser Aluminum Corporation (Nasdaq:KALU) announced today that it has priced $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes due 2031 (the “notes”) in a private transaction that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), an increase of $50.0 million over its previously announced offering size.

The notes will be guaranteed by each of Kaiser Aluminum’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries that is a borrower or guarantor under Kaiser Aluminum’s revolving credit facility. The consummation of the offering of the notes is expected to be completed on May 20, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.

Kaiser Aluminum intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the notes to redeem all $350 million aggregate principal amount of Kaiser Aluminum’s existing 6.500% senior notes due 2025 (the “2025 notes”), and for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, capital spending and acquisitions.

As previously announced, on May 11, 2021, Kaiser Aluminum provided conditional notice of its intent to redeem the 2025 notes on May 21, 2021, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the 2025 notes.

The notes and the related guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Act or the securities laws of any other place and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption therefrom. The notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States under Regulation S.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. This notice is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Act.
