Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 21, 2016, Versum Materials, Inc. (“Versum”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (“Air Products”), issued a press release announcing the pricing of the previously announced offering under Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of $425 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% senior notes due 2024 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be sold at a price equal to 100.00% of their principal amount. In connection with the pricing of the Notes, Versum and the guarantors party thereto (the “Guarantors”), entered into an offering agreement, dated as of September 21, 2016 (the “Offering Agreement”), with the selling securityholders named therein and certain representatives of the initial purchasers named therein. The Offering Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by Versum and the Guarantors. The offering is expected to close on September 30, 2016, subject to the expected consummation of the previously announced Air Products’ proposed pro rata distribution of Versum common stock to its stockholders and other customary closing conditions.

The Notes and the related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and will not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

A copy of the Versum press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1. The information contained in Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and it will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed by the Registrant under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
