HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 25, 2017-- Westlake Chemical Corporation (NYSE:WLK) (“Westlake”) announced today the expiration and results of its offer to exchange (the “Exchange Offer”) the four series of its Senior Notes (the “Outstanding Notes”) listed below that were issued in private offerings for new Senior Notes (the “Exchange Notes”) that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The results of the Exchange Offer are as follows:

The Exchange Offer commenced on March 27, 2017, and expired at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, on April 24, 2017. In accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer, the Company accepted all of the Outstanding Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn.

In connection with the issuance of each series of Outstanding Notes, Westlake entered into a registration rights agreement in which it undertook to offer to exchange the Outstanding Notes for the Exchange Notes. The form and terms of each series of Exchange Notes will be identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the corresponding series of Outstanding Notes, except for the issue date and that the offer and issuance of the Exchange Notes have been registered under the Securities Act, and the transfer restrictions and registration rights, and related additional interest provisions, applicable to each series of Outstanding Notes will not apply to the Exchange Notes. Each series of Exchange Notes will represent the same principal amount of debt and interest as the corresponding series of Outstanding Notes. Outstanding Notes that were not exchanged in the Exchange Offer will continue to be subject to the existing restrictions on transfer.

This press release is for informational purposes only and shall not constitute an offer to buy nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any of Westlake’s securities.
