Crown Americas LLC and Crown Americas Capital Corp.

Pursuant to the conditional notice of redemption, all outstanding Notes will be redeemed on February 28, 2016 (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price equal to 103.125% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date.
The redemption of the Notes is conditioned upon the successful raising of at least $250 million in gross proceeds by the Issuers, through a Term Loan A facility under the Company’s senior secured credit facilities or otherwise, prior to the Redemption Date. There can be no assurance that the Issuers will satisfy this condition and, if the condition is not satisfied, the Issuers will not be obligated to redeem the Notes on the Redemption Date.
