PITTSBURGH, June 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Kennametal Inc. KMT completed a public offering of $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.625% Senior Notes due 2028.

As previously announced, Kennametal intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, plus cash on hand, to redeem the $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.650% Notes due November 2019 (CUSIP No. 489170 AD2) (the "2019 Notes") and for general corporate purposes.
