B&W Announces Record Date for its Common Stock Rights Offering

Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (B&W) BW announced today that it has fixed March 15, 2018 as the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to participate in B&W's common stock rights offering (the "Rights Offering"). Each shareholder will receive one right (each, a "Right") for each whole share of common stock held of record as of the record date. The subscription price for all shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Rights Offering will be $3.00 per share. The initial offering materials for the Rights Offering will indicate that the Rights are non-transferable and may not be purchased or sold. Additional terms and conditions of the Rights Offering will be announced and provided in the offering materials.

The Registration Statement is not complete and may be changed. Shares of common stock issuable in the Rights Offering may not be sold nor may offers to buy such common stock be accepted prior to the time the amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective.

The prospectus supplement relating to the Rights Offering and additional materials relating to the Rights Offering will be sent to shareholders after the record date.
