Valvoline Inc. ("Valvoline") (NYSE:VVV) announced today the commencement of an offering of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2034 (the "Notes"). The offering of the Notes is part of a leverage-neutral coordinated refinancing transaction intended to strengthen Valvoline’s debt maturity profile and enhance liquidity.

The Notes will be unsubordinated unsecured obligations of Valvoline. Each of Valvoline’s subsidiaries that guarantees Valvoline’s obligations under its senior secured credit facilities will guarantee the Notes on an unsubordinated unsecured basis. Valvoline intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash and cash equivalents on hand, to repay in full its senior secured term loan A facility and partially repay its senior secured term loan B facility and to pay related fees and expenses.

Concurrent with the offering, Valvoline intends to enter into an amendment to its existing revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facilities Amendment") to, among other things, increase availability thereunder from $475 million to $600 million, reduce the pricing thereof and extend its maturity to the date that is five years after the amendment effective date. The Credit Facilities Amendment is expected to enhance Valvoline’s liquidity position, reduce borrowing costs and provide additional financial flexibility. The offering of Notes is not conditioned upon the effectiveness of the Credit Facilities Amendment.

The Notes will be offered to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes. No offer, solicitation or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
