Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On May 13, 2013, Neenah Paper, Inc. (“Neenah”) issued a press release, attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference, announcing the offering of $175 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) in a private placement, subject to market and other conditions.  The 2021 Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of Neenah’s current and future restricted subsidiaries that guarantee other debt of Neenah or any of its domestic restricted subsidiaries.

 

Neenah intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to redeem in full the outstanding balance of its existing 7.375% senior notes due 2014, and to repay all borrowings under its secured revolving credit facility. Any remaining funds will be used for general corporate purposes.

 

The 2021 notes will be offered through a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A (and outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2021 Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold absent registration under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws or applicable exemptions from registration requirements.

 

The information contained in this Item 8.01 is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the 2021 Notes.
