Compass Minerals International, Inc. (NYSE: CMP) (“Compass Minerals”) announced today it intends to offer, subject to market conditions and other considerations, $500 million in aggregate principal amount of new senior notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) in a private offering. The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Compass Minerals and will be guaranteed by certain of its domestic subsidiaries.

Compass Minerals intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, together with borrowings under an expected new amended and restated credit agreement, to repay all outstanding indebtedness under its existing credit agreement, including certain prepayment premiums and exit fees.

The Notes and related guarantees will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes will be offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to persons other than “U.S. persons” in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release does not and will not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes and related guarantees, nor will there be any sale of the Notes and related guarantees in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state. Any offer of the Notes and related guarantees will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.
