Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 26, 2021, Huntsman Corporation’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Huntsman International LLC (the “Issuer”), issued $400,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of its 2.950% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”), pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of March 13, 2019 (the “Base Indenture”), by and between the Issuer and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of May 26, 2021, by and between the Issuer and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). The Notes were sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (as defined below).
The Notes are general unsecured senior obligations of the Issuer. Interest on the Notes will accrue from May 26, 2021 and will be payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning December 15, 2021, at a rate of 2.950% per year. The Notes will mature on June 15, 2031.
The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Issuer and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness secured by any principal properties, enter into sale and leaseback transactions with respect to any principal properties and consolidate or merge with or into any other person or lease, sell or transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets.
