(NYSE:HCC) (“Warrior” or the “Company”) today announced that it has priced its previously announced private offering of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.00% senior secured notes due 2024 (the “Notes”). The Notes offering is expected to close on November 2, 2017, subject to customary closing conditions. Warrior expects to use the net proceeds of the offering of the Notes, together with cash on hand of approximately $260 million, to pay, during 2017, a special cash dividend of approximately $600 million to all of its stockholders on a pro rata basis.

The Notes are being offered and sold to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and to certain non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Notes or any other securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
