Item 8.01. Other Events.
On November 4, 2014, Owens Corning issued a press release announcing that it has amended the terms of its previously announced cash tender offers (as amended, the “Tender Offers”), to increase the aggregate purchase price (including the premium but excluding accrued and unpaid interest) for its 9.000% Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) and its 6.500% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes,” and together with the 2019 Notes, the “Outstanding Notes”) from an aggregate purchase price (including the premium but excluding accrued and unpaid interest) of $300 million to $400 million. All other terms of the Tender Offers, as previously announced, remain unchanged.
Owens Corning previously announced that it is offering to sell, subject to market and other conditions, a new series of its unsecured senior notes in an underwritten public offering under its effective shelf registration statement (the “Senior Notes Offering”). As announced in the press release, the Company expects to offer an aggregate amount of $400 million in new notes. Owens Corning intends to use the net proceeds of the Senior Notes Offering, plus cash on hand, if required, to fund the repurchase of Outstanding Notes pursuant to the Tender Offers.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
