The Issuer will accept for exchange Original 2026 Notes in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the U.S. dollar equivalent (as determined by reference to the exchange rate prevailing at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on June 16,
2025, as reported on the display page on the Bloomberg service designated as the “BFIX” page under the heading CHFUSD (the “Applicable CHF/USD Exchange Rate”)) of CHF 1,530,000,000 (such amount in Swiss francs, the “CHF Cap,” and such U.S.
dollar equivalent, the “USD Cap”) less the aggregate principal amount of any Original 2033 Notes, Original 2036 Notes, Original 2039 Notes, Original 2043 Notes and Original 2046 Notes validly tendered
(and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for exchange in the relevant Exchange Offers. The USD Cap will be published by 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on June 16, 2025.
|
Amrize and the Issuer further announced that they have amended the terms of the Exchange Offers by increasing the CHF Cap, and the corresponding USD Cap, calculated based on the Applicable CHF/USD Exchange Rate, to CHF
1,530,000,000.
As previously announced, for each $1,000 principal amount of Original Notes of a series (subject to a minimum tender of $200,000 aggregate principal amount of Original Notes of such series) validly tendered (and not
validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Date, an Eligible Holder of Original Notes of such series is eligible to receive, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer Memorandum dated May 19, 2025 (the “Exchange Offer
Memorandum”), (i) $970 principal amount of New Notes of the corresponding series (the “Exchange Consideration”) and (ii) an early tender premium consisting of $30 principal amount of New Notes of the corresponding series, plus $2.50 in cash (the “Early
Tender Premium” and together with the Exchange Consideration, the “Total Consideration”). To be eligible to receive the Total Consideration, an Eligible Holder must (i) have validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) his or her Original Notes at or
prior to the Early Tender Date and (ii) beneficially own such Original Notes at the Expiration Date (as defined herein). For each $1,000 principal amount of Original Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but prior to the Expiration Date,
Eligible Holders of Original Notes will be eligible to receive only the Exchange Consideration, which does not include the Early Tender Premium.
The Exchange Offers will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 16, 2025 (such date and time, as may be extended, the “Expiration Date”). Amrize expects the New Notes to be issued on the second business day
immediately following the Expiration Date (the “Settlement Date”), being June 18, 2025, if the Exchange Offers are not extended.
The Exchange Offers are being conducted in connection with the spin-off of Holcim Ltd’s North American business as described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Amrize on June 2, 2025. The Spin-off is not
conditioned on the completion or results of the Exchange Offers.
The New Notes and the guarantees provided by Amrize for the New Notes have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or any state or foreign
securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
There will be no public offer of securities in the United States. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to purchase or sell any securities. No offer, solicitation, purchase or sale will
be made in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, purchase or sale would be unlawful.
The Exchange Offers are made, and the New Notes are being offered, solely to Eligible Holders on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Exchange Offer Memorandum. Except with respect to the amendments
described above with respect to the change to the CHF Cap and the corresponding USD Cap, all terms of the Exchange Offers set forth in the Exchange Offer Memorandum remain unchanged. Only holders of Original Notes who have properly completed and
returned an eligibility certification are authorized to receive and review the Exchange Offer Memorandum and to participate in the Exchange Offers. The eligibility certification is available from the Information and Exchange Agent: D.F. King (New York:
+1 (212) 269-5550, Toll Free: +1 (877) 732-3617; in London: +44 20 7920 9700; holcim@dfkingltd.com).
“Eligible Holders” means (a) QIBs (as such term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act), or (b) persons that are outside of the United States and that (i) are not U.S. persons (as such term is defined in
Regulation S under the Securities Act) and (ii) are not (A) one (or both) of: (x) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”), (y) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97,
where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (B) one (or both) of: (x) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of
domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the “EUWA”), (y) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the “FSMA”) and any rules or regulations made under the
FSMA to implement the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA.
