CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE: CLF) (“Cliffs” or the “Company”) announced today that it intends to offer to sell, subject to market and other conditions, $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its senior secured notes due 2024 (the “Secured Notes”) in an offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”).
The Secured Notes will be jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by substantially all of Cliffs’ material domestic subsidiaries and will be secured (subject in each case to certain exceptions and permitted liens) by (i) a first-priority lien on substantially all of Cliffs’ assets and the assets of the guarantors (other than accounts receivable and other rights to payment, inventory, as-extracted collateral, investment property, certain general intangibles and commercial tort claims, certain mobile equipment, commodities accounts, deposit accounts, securities accounts and other related assets and proceeds and products of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “ABL Collateral”)), and (ii) a second-priority lien on the ABL Collateral, which is junior to a first-priority lien for the benefit of the lenders under the Company’s senior secured asset-based credit facility.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Secured Notes, along with the net proceeds from its concurrent convertible notes offering, to finance a substantial portion of its hot briquetted iron (“HBI”) capital project and for general corporate purposes. The Secured Notes offering and the concurrent offering of convertible notes are not contingent upon one another.
This news release does not constitute an offer to purchase securities or a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities or an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities, nor does it constitute an offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. The Secured Notes and related guarantees are being offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Secured Notes and the related guarantees have not been, and will not be, 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.
