Indenture

 

On March 13, 2019, Huntsman Corporation’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Huntsman International LLC, as issuer (“HI”), issued $750,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 4.500% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”), pursuant to an indenture entered into on March 13, 2019 (the “Base Indenture”), by and between HI and Wilmington Trust, National Association (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture entered into on March 13, 2019, by and between HI and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). The Notes were sold pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement by and among HI, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as representatives of the several underwriters named in Schedule A thereto.

 

The Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of HI. Interest on the Notes will accrue from March 13, 2019 and will be payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning November 1, 2019, at a rate of 4.500% per year. The Notes mature on May 1, 2029.

 

The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of HI and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness secured by any principal properties, enter into sale and leaseback transactions with respect to any principal properties and consolidate or merge with or into any other person or lease, sell or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets.

 

HI may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at any time prior to February 1, 2029 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest. HI may redeem the Notes in whole or in part on or after February 1, 2029 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.

 

Upon the occurrence of certain change of control repurchase events, holders of the Notes will have the right to require that HI purchase all or a portion of such holder’s Notes in cash at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase.

 

The foregoing does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the Indenture.  The description of the terms of the Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Base Indenture and Supplemental Indenture, which are filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1 and Exhibit 4.2, respectively.
