Kontoor Brands Announces Pricing of Senior Notes Offering

Kontoor Brands, Inc. (“Kontoor”) today announced that it has finalized the terms of its offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). Kontoor anticipates that consummation of the offering will occur on November 18, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions and intends to use the proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, to fund the repayment of the following outstanding debt in connection with the amendment and extension of Kontoor’s Credit Agreement, dated as of May 17, 2019, including the senior secured credit facilities thereunder, and to pay related fees, costs, premiums and expenses in connection therewith (including accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such amounts): (i) $265.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under Kontoor’s existing term loan A facility (resulting in $400.0 million in aggregate borrowings remaining outstanding under such facility) and (ii) $133.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under Kontoor’s existing term loan B facility (resulting in the repayment in full of borrowings under such facility).

The Notes and related guarantees to be offered have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. The Notes and related guarantees may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes and related guarantees are being offered, only to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain non-U.S. persons in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act, and it is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the Notes or any other securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
