Vulcan Materials Company Announces Pricing Of Tender Offer For Any And All Of Its 7.50% Notes Due 2021

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Vulcan Materials Company (NYSE: VMC) (the "Company") announced today the pricing of the previously announced cash tender offer for any and all of its 7.50% Notes due 2021 (the "Notes").  The tender offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated December 18, 2017, and the related letter of transmittal and notice of guaranteed delivery (the "Tender Offer Documents"). The Company refers investors to the Tender Offer Documents for the complete terms and conditions of the tender offer.

The tender offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time today unless extended or earlier terminated as described in the offer to purchase (such time and date, as they may be extended, the "Expiration Time"). Holders of the Notes who validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their notes prior to the Expiration Time, or who deliver to the tender and information agent a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery in accordance with the instructions described in the offer to purchase and who deliver Notes in accordance with such notice, will be eligible to receive in cash the Notes Consideration described below.

The "Notes Consideration" was determined by the dealer manager for the tender offer in the manner described in the offer to purchase by reference to the Fixed Spread for the Notes plus the yield based on the bid-side price of the U.S. Treasury Reference Security specified in the table above today at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. The Company has issued a notice of redemption to the holders of the Notes to redeem any and all Notes that remain outstanding after the completion of the tender offer.  Holders whose Notes are not repurchased in the tender offer will instead receive the "make-whole" redemption price based on the redemption spread of 50 basis points over the yield of the applicable U.S. Treasury Security, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption of January 17, 2018.

Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the December 15, 2017 interest payment date up to, but not including, the date the Company makes payment for such Notes, which date is anticipated to be December 28, 2017.

BofA Merrill Lynch is the dealer manager in connection with the tender offer.  D.F. King & Co. ("D.F. King") is the tender and information agent for the tender offer.

None of the Company, the dealer manager, D.F. King or the trustee for the Notes, or any of their respective affiliates, is making any recommendation as to whether holders should tender any Notes in response to the tender offer. Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender any of their Notes and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender.

This announcement is not an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities and shall not constitute a notice of redemption under the indenture governing the Notes. The tender offer is being made solely by means of the Tender Offer Documents.
