On July 17, 2013, Mercer International Inc. (the “Company”) announced the pricing of its previously announced offering of $50 million aggregate principal amount of its 9.5% senior notes due 2017 (the “Notes”) at a price of 104.5% of principal amount, plus accrued interest, if any, from June 1, 2013. The Notes were offered as additional notes under an existing indenture pursuant to which the Company previously issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 9.5% senior notes due 2017 (the “Existing Notes”). The offering is being made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement that was previously filed. The Notes will have the same CUSIP number, be fully fungible with, rank equally with and form a single series with the Existing Notes. The Company anticipates that the offering will close on or around July 22, 2013, subject to customary closing conditions.
A copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
