Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: SPR) (the "Company") announced today the pricing by Spirit AeroSystems, Inc. ("Spirit"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.500% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2025 (the "Notes") in a private offering. The offering was increased to $500 million from the previously announced offering size of $400 million. Spirit plans to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes. The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about October 5, 2020, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2021.

The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and Spirit AeroSystems North Carolina, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Spirit (collectively, the "Guarantors"), and secured by certain real property and personal property, including certain equity interests, owned by Spirit, as issuer, and the Guarantors. The Notes and guarantees will be Spirit's and the Guarantors' senior secured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with all of their existing and future senior indebtedness, effectively equal with their existing and future indebtedness secured on a pari passu basis by the collateral for the Notes to the extent of the value of the collateral (including a new senior secured term loan B credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million and Spirit's Senior Notes due 2026), effectively senior to all of their existing and future indebtedness that is not secured by a lien, or is secured by a junior-priority lien, on the collateral for the Notes to the extent of the value of the collateral, effectively junior to any of their other existing and future indebtedness that is secured by assets that do not constitute collateral for the Notes to the extent of the value of such assets, and senior in right of payment to any of their existing and future subordinated indebtedness.
