| Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
Crown Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) intends to offer senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000,000 that will be issued by Crown Americas LLC, a subsidiary of the Company.
The Notes will be sold in a private placement and resold by the initial purchasers to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security in any jurisdiction in which such offer or sale would be unlawful.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand and borrowings under the Company’s senior secured revolving credit facility, to repay the 4.750% senior notes due 2026, and to pay related fees and expenses.
The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Except for historical information, all other information in this Form 8-K consists of forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the expected completion of the offering of the Notes, which may cause the actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Other important factors that could cause the statements made in this Form 8-K or the actual results of operations or financial condition of the Company to differ include, without limitation, that the offering of the Notes is subject to a number of conditions. There can be no assurance that the offering of the Notes will be completed as described herein or at all. Other important factors are discussed under the caption “Forward Looking Statements” in the Company’s Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in subsequent filings made prior to or after the date hereof. The Company does not intend to review or revise any particular forward-looking statement in light of future events.
