Item 8.01 Other Information.

On June 8, 2015, Sealed Air Corporation (the “Company”) announced that it commenced a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of its outstanding $750 million aggregate principal amount of 8.375% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”). A copy of the press release, dated June 8, 2015, announcing the commencement of the Tender Offer is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Also, on June 8, 2015, the Company announced that it commenced an offering of senior unsecured dollar-denominated notes due 2025 and senior unsecured euro-denominated notes due 2023 (collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of the Company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee its senior secured credit facilities. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, along with cash on hand, to repurchase, redeem or satisfy and discharge all of its outstanding 2021 Notes, including any premiums, fees and expenses in connection therewith and for general corporate purposes. A copy of the press release, dated June 8, 2015, announcing the offering of the Notes, is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Notes and related guarantees will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States under Regulation S of the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws. This announcement shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
