Multi-Color Corporation Announces a Proposed Private Offering of $480 Million of Senior Notes and Syndication of a $400 Million Senior Secured Term Loan B Facility

CINCINNATI, OHIO, September 13, 2017 - Multi-Color Corporation LABL (the "Company") announced today that it intends to offer $480 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2025 (the "Notes").  The Notes are being offered  to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Notes may be initially offered by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company pending consummation of the acquisition of the Labels Division of Constantia Flexibles GmbH ("Constantia Labels").  In that event, the gross proceeds of the offering of the Notes (plus an amount to pay interest that would accrue on the Notes through January 16, 2018) shall initially be deposited in an escrow account pending satisfaction of certain conditions, including consummation of the Constantia Labels acquisition.

The Company also announced that it will commence the syndication of a $400 million senior secured term loan B facility which will be a component of the $1,050 million senior secured credit facilities (the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities") that the Company intends to negotiate and enter into in conjunction with the Constantia Labels acquisition.  The Senior Secured Credit Facilities are expected to be comprised of (i) a $400 million senior secured revolving credit facility, with a five-year maturity, (ii) a $250 million senior secured term loan A facility, with a five year maturity, and (iii) the $400 million senior secured term loan B facility, with a seven year maturity.

The Company intends to apply the net proceeds of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the offering of the Notes, in part, to (i) repay outstanding borrowings under its existing senior secured revolving credit facilities, (ii) fund part of the cash portion of the purchase price payable in connection with the consummation of the Constantia Labels acquisition, and (iii) pay fees and expenses in connection with consummation of the Constantia Labels acquisition, entering into the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the offering of the Notes.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or applicable state or foreign securities laws, and will be offered only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A and in offshore transactions pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Unless so registered, the Notes shall not be offered or sold in any jurisdiction except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state and foreign securities laws.

There can be no assurance that the company will enter into the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or issue the Notes as described above, or what ultimate terms the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or the Notes may include. The Company's ability to enter into the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and issue the Notes and use the proceeds thereof depends on, among other things, market conditions, reaching final agreement with lenders and the approval of the Company's board of directors.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any of these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful without registration or an applicable exemption under the Securities Act and applicable state and foreign securities laws. This notice is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135(c) under the Securities Act.
