Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information provided in Item 2.03 below is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an


           Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of the Registrant.

On March 14, 2022, Crown Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Crown Americas LLC (the "Issuer") agreed to issue and sell to several purchasers, for whom BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Mizuho Securities USA LLC are acting as representatives, $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the "Notes").

The Notes will mature on April 1, 2030 and will accrue interest at a rate of 5.250% per year. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2022. The Issuer may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time prior to January 1, 2030 by paying 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, and a make-whole premium. On or after January 1, 2030, the Issuer may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time by paying 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If the Issuer or the Company experiences a change of control repurchase event, the Issuer may be required to offer to purchase the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date.

The Notes are senior obligations of the Issuer. The Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by the Company and, subject to applicable law and exceptions, certain of the Company's current and future subsidiaries organized under the laws of the United States.

The Issuer and the guarantors of the Notes have agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to an offer to exchange the Notes for publicly tradeable notes having substantially identical terms.

The Notes will be sold in a private placement and resold by the initial purchasers to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
