Pentair Announces Early Tender Date Results of Debt Tender Offer for its 2.450% Senior Notes Due 2019 and Amendment to Maximum Tender Amount

June 6, 2018

 

LONDON, United Kingdom - June 6, 2018 - Pentair plc (NYSE: PNR) ("Pentair") today announced the results as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 5, 2018 (the "Early Tender Date"), of the previously announced cash tender offer that commenced on May 22, 2018 (the "Offer") by its subsidiary, Pentair Finance S.à r.l. ("Pentair Finance") for its 2.450% Senior Notes due 2019 (the "Notes").

Pentair Finance was advised by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the depositary and information agent (the "Depositary and Information Agent") for the Offer, that, as of the Early Tender Date, an aggregate principal amount of €363,369,000 of the Notes had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn.  Pentair Finance has amended the terms of the Offer to increase the amount of Notes that will be accepted for purchase from an aggregate purchase price (excluding Accrued Interest (as defined herein)) of up to US$400,000,000 to an aggregate purchase price (excluding Accrued Interest) resulting in all Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Early Tender Date being accepted for purchase, or approximately US$440,830,644 based on the EUR/USD exchange rate as of the Early Tender Date (such amount, as amended, the "Maximum Tender Amount").  All of the other terms and conditions of the Offer, as described in an Offer to Purchase (the "Offer to Purchase"), dated May 22, 2018, remain unchanged.  The Notes had an aggregate principal amount outstanding of €500,000,000 as of the Early Tender Date. 

Holders of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase will receive the "Early Tender Purchase Price."  The Early Tender Purchase Price of the Notes will, when determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase, be 103.531% of nominal amount of the Notes accepted for purchase.  The Early Tender Purchase Price will also include an early tender premium of €30.00 per €1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase (the "Early Tender Premium").  In addition to the Early Tender Purchase Price, accrued and unpaid interest ("Accrued Interest") on the Notes accepted for purchase will be paid from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date (as defined herein). The Early Tender Purchase Price will only be paid to holders of tendered Notes to the extent that Pentair Finance accepts such Notes for purchase.  Because the aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on the Early Tender Date would result in an aggregate purchase price (excluding Accrued Interest) that equals the Maximum Tender Amount, Pentair Finance will not accept for purchase any Notes that may be tendered after the Early Tender Date. Pentair Finance's obligation to accept and pay for the tendered Notes in the Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. The Early Tender Purchase Price and Accrued Interest will be paid in Euro (€).

Withdrawal rights with respect to the Notes tendered expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 5, 2018.

Payment for the Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase by Pentair Finance will be made on the date referred to as the "Early Settlement Date". The Early Settlement Date for the Notes will be promptly following the Early Tender Date. The Early Settlement Date for the Notes is anticipated to be June 7, 2018, the second business day after the Early Tender Date. 

The Lead Dealer Manager for the Offer is Citigroup Global Markets Inc. Investors with questions regarding the Offer may contact Citigroup Global Markets Inc. at (800) 558-3745 (toll-free) or (212) 723-6106 (collect). Copies of the Offer to Purchase may be obtained from the Information Agent, Global Bondholder Services Corporation, at (866) 470-3800 (toll-free) or (212) 430-3774 (collect), in writing at 65 Broadway, Suite 404, New York, NY 10006 or by email at contact@gbsc-usa.com. Holders of Notes are urged to carefully read these materials prior to making any decisions with respect to the Offer.

This press release is for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy, or the solicitation of an offer to sell, any of the Notes or any other securities. Pentair Finance is making the Offer only by, and pursuant to, the terms of the Offer to Purchase. The Offer is not being made in any jurisdiction in which the making of or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities laws, blue sky laws or other laws of such jurisdiction. None of Pentair Finance or Pentair, their respective boards of directors, the Dealer Managers, the Depositary and the Information Agent or the trustees makes any recommendation that any holder of Notes tender or refrain from tendering all or any portion of the principal amount of its Notes, and no one has been authorized by any of them to make such a recommendation.  Holders must make their own decision as to whether to tender their Notes, and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender.
