Item 8.01Other Information.

On September 15, 2021, Sealed Air Corporation (the “Company”) announced that it commenced a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of its outstanding $425 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”). In connection with the Tender Offer, the Company is also soliciting consents from holders of the 2022 Notes (the "Consent Solicitation") for proposed amendments to the indenture governing the 2022 Notes to eliminate certain restrictive covenants and certain events of default with respect to the Notes (the "Proposed Amendments"). A copy of the press release, dated September 15, 2021, announcing the commencement of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Also, on September 15, 2021, the Company announced that it commenced an offering of senior secured notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be jointly and severally, and irrevocably and unconditionally, guaranteed on a senior secured basis by each of the Company’s existing and future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its senior secured credit facilities, subject to release under certain circumstances. The Notes and related guarantees will be secured on a first-priority basis by liens on substantially all of the Company's and its domestic guarantor subsidiaries' personal property securing obligations the Company owes to lenders under its senior secured credit facilities on a pari passu basis, subject to certain exceptions.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase the 2022 Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer commenced by the Company today and satisfy and discharge all of its outstanding 2022 Notes in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the 2022 Notes, including any premiums, fees and expenses in connection therewith and for general corporate purposes. A copy of the press release, dated September 15, 2021, announcing the offering of the Notes, is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

On September 15, 2021, the Company announced the pricing of its upsized offering of Notes. The Company expects the offering to close on September 29, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. A copy of the press release, dated September 15, 2021 announcing the pricing of the upsized offering is attached as Exhibit 99.3 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Notes and related guarantees will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States under Regulation S of the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws. This announcement shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
