HEXCEL ANNOUNCES PLAN TO CALL REMAINING SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES

STAMFORD, CT. — May 29, 2012 — Hexcel Corporation (NYSE: HXL) announced that it plans to redeem its remaining $73.5 million 6.75% senior subordinated notes on June 25, 2012 at a call premium of 1.125%.  The senior subordinated notes are due on February 1, 2015.  The redemption and related costs will be funded solely from a $75 million add-on to Hexcel’s revolving loan facility that was just completed, increasing the $285 million facility to $360 million.  The facility matures in July 2015.

The total transaction costs, including the 1.125% call premium, bank fees and related expenses, will be almost $1.5 million.  Hexcel expects interest expense will decrease in the first year by nearly $3 million.  Hexcel will accelerate the unamortized financing costs related to the notes and expense the call premium incurring a pretax charge of $1.1 million (after tax of $0.01 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2012.

Additionally, the Company entered into interest rate hedges that expire March 2014 to swap the floating LIBOR on the $75 million revolver increase for a fixed rate of 0.67%.  As a result, the interest rate for the additional revolver loan will be 2.67% through March 2014.
