Proposed Acquisition of Milacron

We entered into a definitive agreement on July 12, 2019 to acquire Milacron Holdings Corp. (“Milacron”) in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $2 billion, including debt, net of cash on hand, of $686 as of March 31, 2019. The transaction, which is expected to close in the first calendar quarter of 2020, is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, including the approval of stockholders of Milacron.

Under the terms of the agreement, Milacron stockholders will receive $11.80 in cash and a fixed exchange ratio of 0.1612 shares of Hillenbrand common stock for each share of Milacron common stock they own. Upon closing, Hillenbrand shareholders will own approximately 84% of the combined company, and Milacron stockholders will own approximately 16%.

In connection with the proposed transaction, we entered into a commitment letter on July 12, 2019 pursuant to which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. committed to provide a 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.1 billion.
