On May 18, 2018, BWX Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it has priced its previously announced offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% senior notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Notes will be guaranteed by each of the Company’s present and future direct and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the New Credit Facility (as defined below).

Additionally, in connection with the Notes offering, the Company intends to enter into an $800.0 million senior secured credit agreement that includes a $500.0 million revolving credit facility due 2023 (the “New Revolving Credit Facility”), a $50.0 million senior secured term loan A due 2023 (the “New USD Term Loan”) and a $250.0 million (U.S. dollar equivalent) Canadian dollar senior secured term loan A due 2023 (the “New CAD Term Loan” and, together with the New Revolving Credit Facility and New USD Term Loan, the “New Credit Facility”). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with borrowings under the New Credit Facility, (1) to repay in full all indebtedness outstanding under its existing senior secured credit agreement consisting of (a) a $400.0 million revolving credit facility, (b) a $300.0 million term loan facility, (c) a $137.5 million (U.S. dollar equivalent) Canadian dollar term loan facility and (d) a $112.5 million term loan facility, (2) to pay all related fees and expenses and (3) the remaining, if any, for general corporate purposes. The consummation of the offering of Notes is expected to be completed on May 24, 2018, subject to customary closing conditions.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated by reference herein.

The information contained in this report, including the exhibit hereto, shall not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, any Notes in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
