Honeywell Announces satisfaction of financing condition and
Consideration for ANY AND ALL Cash Tender Offer

 

MORRIS PLAINS, N.J., October 31, 2016 – Honeywell International Inc. (“Honeywell” or the “Company”) (NYSE: HON) has determined that the previously announced closing of its offering of senior unsecured notes this morning (the “New Notes Offering”) satisfies the financing condition of its previously announced cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase any and all of its outstanding notes set forth in the table below (collectively, the “Notes”). The Offer remains subject to certain other conditions, including the absence of any adverse legal and market developments.

Additionally, Honeywell today announced the Reference Yield and Consideration for the Notes, which is set forth in the table below. The Reference Yield is based on the bid side price of the Reference U.S. Treasury Security listed in the table below as calculated by the Dealer Managers (as defined herein) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on October 31, 2016, as described in the Offer to Purchase, dated October 24, 2016 (the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related Letter of Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. Holders of Notes that are validly tendered (and not subsequently validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase will receive the Consideration. In order to be eligible to receive the Consideration, holders of Notes must validly tender their Notes at or before the Expiration Time (as defined below). All holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on the purchased Notes from the last interest payment date for such Notes up to, but excluding, the Settlement Date (as defined below).

(1) Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered before the Expiration Time (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase. Consideration is based on the Reference Yield of the Reference U.S. Treasury Security set forth above as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on October 31, 2016, the applicable maturity date, and a Settlement Date of November 1, 2016.

The Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 31, 2016, unless extended or earlier terminated (the “Expiration Time”). Holders who have validly tendered their Notes may withdraw such Notes at any time at or before the Expiration Time. Honeywell expects to pay the Consideration for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn before the Expiration Time on November 1, 2016, the first business day following the Expiration Time (the “Settlement Date”) and expects to pay the Consideration for Notes, if any, validly tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures and accepted for payment (to the extent that such Notes are not delivered prior to the Expiration Time) on November 3, 2016, the third business day following the Expiration Time. For the avoidance of doubt, Honeywell will not pay accrued interest for any periods following the Settlement Date in respect of any Notes accepted in the Offer.

Honeywell intends to finance the payment for the Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer with a portion of the proceeds raised from the New Notes Offering. Subject to applicable law, Honeywell has reserved the right to terminate, withdraw, amend or extend the Offer in its sole discretion.

Following the expiration of the Offer, the Company intends to redeem any and all Notes that are not tendered and accepted in the Offer in accordance with the indenture governing the Notes (the “Indenture”). The Company is not obligated to redeem Notes that are not tendered and accepted in the Offer, and there can be no assurance it will do so. Statements of intent in this news release shall not constitute a notice of redemption under the Indenture. Any such notice, if made, will only be made in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.

The complete terms and conditions of the Offer are set forth in the Offer to Purchase and in the related Letter of Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, along with any amendments and supplements thereto, which holders are urged to read carefully before making any decision with respect to the Offer.
