Owens Corning Announces Early Tender Results of Cash Tender Offers for Certain of Its Outstanding Notes

Owens Corning today announced the early tender results for its previously announced cash tender offers (the "Tender Offers") to purchase up to $450.0 million combined aggregate principal amount (the "Maximum Tender Amount") of its 4.200% Senior Notes due 2022 (the "2022 Notes") and 7.000% Senior Notes due 2036 (the "2036 Notes" and, together with the 2022 Notes, the "Notes") and its election, with respect to the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time (as defined below), to make payment for such Notes on August 13, 2019 (the "Early Settlement Date").

The terms and conditions of the Tender Offers are described in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 29, 2019 (the "Offer to Purchase") and related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal").

The table below identifies the principal amount of each series of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 9, 2019 (the "Early Tender Time") and the principal amount of each series that Owens Corning has accepted for purchase, as well as the relevant approximate proration factor for the 2036 Notes.

The withdrawal deadline of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 9, 2019 has passed and, accordingly, Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offers may no longer be withdrawn except where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.

Owens Corning will calculate the consideration to be paid to holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Time in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the applicable fixed spread over the bid-side yield of the applicable reference security, calculated as of 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 12, 2019.

The Tender Offers will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the day on August 23, 2019. However, because the aggregate principal amount of Notes that was validly tendered as of the Early Tender Time is greater than the Maximum Tender Amount, holders who validly tender any Notes after the Early Tender Time will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase. The 2036 Notes not accepted for purchase will be promptly returned or credited to the holder's account.
