FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COMMERCIAL VEHICLE GROUP ANNOUNCES PRICING
OF UPSIZED OFFERING OF SENIOR SECURED NOTES
NEW ALBANY, OHIO, April 13, 2011 — Commercial Vehicle Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVGI) (the “Company”) announced today that it has priced $250 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”) in connection with its previously announced private offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes were priced at 100% of par.
The offering represents an increase from the previously announced offering size of $225 million. The closing of the offering is expected to occur on April 26, 2011, subject to certain closing conditions, including the amendment and restatement of the Company’s existing revolving credit facility and the receipt by the Company of the required consents with respect to its previously announced tender offers and consent solicitations for any and all of its outstanding 8% Senior Notes due 2013 and 11%/13% Third Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2013 (collectively, the “Existing Notes”).
The Notes will be guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis by certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries and any other subsidiaries that guarantee any of its senior indebtedness, including its revolving credit facility. The Notes and the related guarantees will be senior secured obligations of the Company and the guarantors, secured by second-priority liens (subject to specified exceptions and permitted liens) on substantially all of the property and assets of the Company and the guarantors.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering primarily to repay all of the amounts currently outstanding under its existing second lien term loan and Existing Notes and for general corporate and working capital purposes.
The Notes and the related guarantees will be offered only to “qualified institutional buyers” in reliance on the exemption from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to persons outside of the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the Securities Act and applicable state securities or blue sky laws and foreign securities laws.
This press release is for informational purposes only and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities. The Notes offering is not being made to any person in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. Any offers of the Notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.
