ST. LOUIS, April 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Energizer Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ENR) (the "Company") today announced the pricing, on April 15, 2020, of its add-on offering of $250 million to its existing 6.375% senior notes due 2026 (the "Notes"). The size of the offering reflects an increase of $50 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes from the previously announced offering size of $200 million. The Notes will be sold to investors at 102.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest from January 15, 2020.

The Company intends to use all net proceeds from the offering of the Notes to fund repayment of indebtedness outstanding under its revolving credit facility and to pay fees and expenses related to the offering.

The Notes and related guarantees are being offered for sale to qualified institutional buyers in an offering of senior notes exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
