Park-Ohio Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), a subsidiary of Park-Ohio Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: PKOH), today announced that it intends to offer $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2030 (the “Notes”), subject to market and customary conditions, in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes will be senior obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed, with certain exceptions, by the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries on a senior secured basis. The Notes will be secured by, subject in each case to certain exceptions and permitted liens, (i) a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ U.S. equipment (including machinery) (the “Notes Priority Collateral”) and (ii) a second-priority lien (junior to the Company’s revolving credit facility) on substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ U.S. assets not constituting Notes Priority Collateral that secure the revolving credit facility. In connection with the offering of the Notes, the Company intends to enter into an amendment to its revolving credit facility in order to, among other things, extend the maturity date to the fifth anniversary from the closing of the amendment (the “Revolving Credit Facility Amendment”).

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, along with cash on hand, to redeem all $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 6.625% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Senior Notes”) and pay related fees and expenses.

This is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. The Notes and related guarantees are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be 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 certain non-U.S. persons in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related guarantees have not been 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. This news release does not constitute a notice of redemption pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2027 Senior Notes.

There can be no assurances that the offering of the Notes will be completed as described herein or at all nor that the Revolving Credit Facility Amendment will be consummated on the anticipated terms or at all.
