ESAB Corporation ("ESAB" or the "Company") (NYSE:ESAB), a focused premier industrial compounder, announced today the pricing of its previously announced offering of $1,000.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "Notes"). ESAB intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to pay a portion of the purchase price of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Eddyfi Holding Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Québec ("Eddyfi"), and certain related entities (such transaction, the "Acquisition"). The Notes will be guaranteed (the "Guarantees") by certain of ESAB's current and future domestic restricted subsidiaries. The offering is expected to close on March 26, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Notes and the related Guarantees have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction. As a result, the Notes and the related Guarantees may not be offered or sold within the United States to or for the account or benefit of any U.S. person unless the offer or sale would qualify for a registration exemption under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the Notes and the related Guarantees are being offered only to a limited number of U.S. investors that ESAB reasonably believes to be "qualified institutional buyers" in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to certain persons outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes or the related Guarantees in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. This press release contains information about the pending offering of the Notes, and there can be no assurance that the offering will be completed.
