4.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028

General

On April 30, 2020, Entegris, Inc. (the "Company") issued $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.375% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2028 (the "2028 Notes"). The 2028 Notes were issued under an indenture dated as of April 30, 2020 (the "2028 Notes Indenture") by and among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the "2028 Notes Trustee"). Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on October 15, 2020.

Guarantees

The 2028 Notes will be guaranteed, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally, on a senior unsecured basis, by the Company's existing and future domestic subsidiaries, other than certain excluded subsidiaries, to the extent that such entities guarantee indebtedness under the Company's senior secured term loan facility and senior secured revolving credit facility (together, the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities") or the Company's 4.625% Senior Unsecured Notes dues 2026 (the "2026 Notes") and any other subsidiary of the Company to the extent it incurs certain additional indebtedness (collectively, the "Guarantors").

Ranking

The 2028 Notes and the guarantees thereof are the Company's and the Guarantors' senior unsecured obligations, respectively, and will (i) rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's and the Guarantors' existing and future senior indebtedness (including the 2026 Notes); (ii) rank senior to any subordinated indebtedness that the Company or the Guarantors may incur; (iii) be effectively subordinated to all of the Company's or the Guarantors' existing and future secured indebtedness (including its Senior Secured Credit Facilities), in each case, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and (iv) be structurally subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future obligations of the Company's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2028 Notes.

Optional Redemption

At any time prior to April 15, 2023, the Company may, at its option, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes, at a redemption price equal to 104.375% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, with an amount of cash equal to the net cash proceeds of an equity offering, as defined in the 2028 Notes Indenture, by the Company; provided that (1) at least 60% of the aggregate principal amount of 2028 Notes issued under the 2028 Notes Indenture remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption; and (2) the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additionally, at any time prior to April 15, 2023, the 2028 Notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes redeemed, plus a "make whole" premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the applicable redemption date.

On or after April 15, 2023, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem all or a part of the 2028 Notes, at its option, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2028 Notes redeemed, to, but not including, the applicable date of redemption, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on April 15 of the years indicated below:

Change of Control Repurchase Event

Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events accompanied by certain ratings events, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase all of the outstanding 2028 Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repurchase.

Certain Covenants

The 2028 Notes Indenture that governs the 2028 Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's ability and/or the ability of the Company's subsidiaries to:



  • incur liens;


  • engage in sale and leaseback transactions; and


     •  consolidate, merge with or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially
        all of the Company's and its subsidiaries' assets to another person.
