Ferro Corporation Announces Entry into Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Results to Date for Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation for Its 7.875% Senior Notes due 2018

CLEVELAND, Ohio – July 31, 2014 – Ferro Corporation (NYSE: FOE) (“Ferro” or the “Company”) announced today that it has made significant progress on its previously disclosed refinancing. The Company has entered into new senior secured credit facilities (“Credit Facilities”) in an aggregate amount of $500 million, consisting of a senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million and a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $200 million (collectively, the “Debt Financing”). The Debt Financing, among other things, was used to refinance Ferro’s existing senior secured credit facility and will be used for payments in connection with the Tender Offer (as defined below) and Consent Solicitation (as defined below).

The Term Loan Facility has a seven-year term and the Revolving Credit Facility has a five-year term. The loans under the Term Loan Facility bear interest equal to LIBOR plus 3.25% (subject to a 0.75% LIBOR floor) and the loans under the Revolving Credit Facility initially bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.75%.

Ferro also announced today the results to date in connection with its previously announced tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) and consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) with respect to all $250 million of its outstanding 7.875% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”).

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 30, 2014 (the “Early Tender Deadline”), according to Global Bondholder Services Corporation (“GBSC”), the tender agent and information agent in connection with the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, approximately $143 million, or 57%, of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes had been validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation. Accordingly, Ferro has received consents sufficient to approve the proposed amendments to the indenture (the “Indenture”) governing the Notes. In connection with the consummation of the Debt Financing, Ferro and the trustee for the Notes will enter into a supplemental indenture containing the proposed amendments to the Indenture. Such amendments will not become operative, however, unless and until Ferro accepts the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline in the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation.

The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation will expire at Midnight, New York City time, at the end of August 12, 2014 (the “Expiration Date”), unless extended or earlier terminated by Ferro.

Holders who validly tendered and did not withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be eligible to receive $1,043.62 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered, which includes the consent payment of $20.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered (the “Consent Payment”). Holders who validly tender and do not withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Expiration Date will only be eligible to receive $1,023.62 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered, and will not be eligible to receive the Consent Payment. Following the Expiration Date, the Company intends to redeem the balance of outstanding Notes, if any.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is acting as the Dealer Manager for the Tender Offer and as the Solicitation Agent for the Consent Solicitation.

None of Ferro, any member of its board of directors, the Dealer Manager, the Solicitation Agent, the Information Agent, the Tender Agent or the Trustee is making any recommendation to the holders of the Notes as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering their Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer.
