Item 8.01 Other Events


Notes Offering

On May 25, 2021, John Bean Technologies Corporation (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its intention to offer (the "Offering") $350 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2026 (the "Notes") in a private placement to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Company also expects to grant the initial purchasers of the Notes an option to purchase up to an additional $52.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes, solely to cover over-allotments, if any, within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the initial closing date. Accordingly, the Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act and the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

In connection with the pricing of the Notes, the Company expects to enter into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions with one or more of the initial purchasers of the Notes, their respective affiliates and/or other financial institutions (the "option counterparties"). The Company also expects to enter into warrant transactions with the option counterparties.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
