Our
Company
Sealed
Air
We are a leading global innovator and manufacturer of packaging
and performance-based materials and equipment systems that serve
a broad range of food, industrial, medical, and consumer end
markets. We are globally recognized for leading brands, such as
Bubble
Wrap®
brand cushioning,
Jiffy®
protective mailers,
Instapak®
foam-in-place
systems and
Cryovac®
packaging technology. Our products include flexible food
packaging materials and related systems, barrier packaging for
case-ready meat products, air cellular cushioning materials
containing a barrier layer, inflatable packaging, suspension and
retention packaging, shrink films for industrial and commercial
applications, protective mailers, and polyethylene foam and
polyurethane foam packaging systems. We market our products
using a total systems solution model which enables us to become
a critical supplier to our customers. Our total systems model
often involves the installation of our technology and equipment
inside our customers facilities which results in
significant recurring revenue. We operate in 52 countries with
distribution in over 75 countries. We generated net sales of
$4.7 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $726 million for
the twelve months ended June 30, 2011. For summary
historical and pro forma combined financial and other data, see
Sealed Air Summary Historical and Pro Forma
Combined Financial and Other Data.
Diversey
Acquisition
On May 31, 2011, the Company, Diversey Holdings, Inc. and
Solution Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sealed
Air Corporation, entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the Acquisition Agreement) pursuant to which Sealed
Air agreed to acquire Diversey (the Acquisition),
subject to the terms and conditions therein.
Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, at the effective
time of the Acquisition, Diverseys shareholders will
receive approximately $2.1 billion in cash (subject to
certain adjustments) and an aggregate of 31.7 million
shares of the Companys common stock (valued at $23.79 per
share based on the closing price of the Companys common
stock on June 30, 2011) for a total estimated equity
consideration of $3.0 billion. This estimated equity
consideration also includes the value of stock appreciation
rights that will be granted to Diversey employees in connection
with the rollover of equity incentive awards that were not
vested as of the execution of the Acquisition Agreement. We also
intend to refinance approximately $1.5 billion of
Diverseys existing debt. We expect the Acquisition and the
refinancing transactions to close in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Following the closing of the Acquisition, Diverseys
shareholders are expected to own approximately 15% of the
Companys common stock (calculated on a pro forma combined
weighted-average diluted common share basis). See The
Acquisition and Related Transactions for more details
regarding the Acquisition.
Diversey is a leading global provider of commercial cleaning,
sanitation and hygiene products, services and solutions for food
service, food and beverage manufacturing and processing, floor
care, restroom care and
1
housekeeping, and laundry in 175 countries worldwide. In
addition, Diversey offers a wide range of value-added services,
including food safety and application training and consulting,
and auditing of hygiene and water management, among other
services. Diversey serves institutional and industrial end-users
such as food service providers, food and beverage manufacturing
and processing plants, lodging establishments, building service
contractors, building managers and property owners, retail
outlets, schools and health-care facilities. Diversey generated
net sales of $3.2 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of
$467 million for the twelve months ended July 1, 2011.
See Diversey Summary Historical Financial and
Other Data for a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted
EBITDA.
The combined company will be a leading global innovator of
sustainable systems-based solutions that provide hygiene,
product protection, food safety and security
globally thereby enhancing customers
businesses, the quality of lives and the environment. On a pro
forma basis after giving effect to the Transactions, the
combined company would have generated net sales of
$7.9 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 billion for
the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 with approximately
26,500 employees serving customers in 175 countries. More
than 50% of our pro forma net sales for that period are in
food-related end markets, and the combined company would have
generated approximately 63% of its net sales from outside the
United States, with approximately 20% of its net sales from
developing regions, which include Africa, Central and Eastern
Europe, Central Asia, China, India, Latin America, Middle East
and South East Asia.
Acquisition
Rationale
Our rationale for the Acquisition includes the following:
Positions our Company to Capture Growth Opportunities by
Developing
End-to-End
Service-Based Solutions for the Food Processing and Food Service
Industries. We believe the Acquisition will
enable us to serve the growing global demand for food safety
products and services. The food safety industry is growing
rapidly, as increased public awareness worldwide and new
government regulations continue to provide a strong impetus to
improve food safety practices. We believe that we are well
positioned to address opportunities through the combination of
our extensive competencies in food science, equipment automation
and process integration with Diverseys scale, proprietary
solutions and expertise in cleaning and sanitation. We believe
this combination of core competencies will enable us to further
strengthen our long standing relationships with food processing
and food service customers due to our ability to develop value
added solutions across the entire food
Production-Packaging-Preparation-Consumption
continuum.
Leverages Combined R&D Investments to Develop Broader
Growth Initiatives in the Food Processing and Food Service
Industries. Both Sealed Air and Diversey have
industry-leading R&D capabilities with proven track records
of innovation. Our teams are continuously developing and
commercializing solutions to meet the increased demands for
hygiene and food safety among food processors and food service
providers. The Acquisition provides complementary intellectual
property and expertise in adjacent systems-based applications,
as well as productivity enhancements that have the potential to
lower project development costs, accelerate product development
at lower cost and enhance commercial opportunities across our
combined business.
Improves Access to Under-Developed Markets and Increases
Access to Developing Regions. We believe the
Acquisition will continue to build on our global leadership by
extending customer relationships and reinforcing our extensive
global footprint, especially in developing regions. The
Acquisition enables Sealed Air to accelerate our developing
regions penetration from approximately 16% to over 20% of net
sales, leveraging Diverseys broad customer-facing
presence, infrastructure and customer relationships. A broader
reach in these fast-growing regions will enhance our long-term
strategic objectives. Additionally, the Acquisition accelerates
Diverseys access and expansion of customer relationships
in the North American food processing sector by leveraging
Sealed Airs extensive market position and long-standing
relationships, positioning us as a global supplier of choice
with customers in every market that we serve.
2
We describe Our Businesses,
Our Competitive Strengths, and
Our Strategy below on a pro forma
combined basis for the Acquisition.
Our
Businesses
Food
Packaging
This segment represents 25% of our pro forma net sales for the
twelve months ended June 30, 2011. Food Packaging focuses
on the industrial food packaging market, which is driven by
developments in technologies that enable food processors to
package and ship fresh and processed meats and cheeses
effectively through their supply chain.
We offer shrink bags to vacuum package many fresh food products,
including beef, lamb, pork, poultry and seafood, as well as
cheese and smoked and processed meats. In addition, we provide
packaging materials for cook-in applications, predominantly for
the deli and food service businesses. We also offer a wide range
of laminated and coextruded rollstock packaging materials
utilized in thermoforming and form, fill and seal applications
for fresh meat, smoked and processed meat, seafood, poultry and
cheese applications.
We sell our products in this segment to food processors,
distributors, supermarket retailers and food service businesses.
Our products in this segment are marketed and sold primarily
under the
Cryovac®
trademark.
Food
Solutions
This segment represents 12% of our pro forma net sales for the
twelve months ended June 30, 2011. Food Solutions targets
advancements in food packaging technologies that provide
consumers with consistently prepared, high-quality fresh or
processed meals, either from food service outlets or from
expanding retail cases at grocery stores.
Our Food Solutions segment focuses on case-ready packaging,
ready meals and vertical pouch packaging. Our case-ready
offerings are used in centralized packaging of various proteins,
including beef, lamb, poultry, smoked and processed meats,
seafood and cheese, for retail sale at the consumer level. In
the ready meals category, we offer oven friendly and
microwaveable packaging, such as our Simple
Steps®
package. For food service applications, we provide vertical
pouch packaging for flowable food products, including soups and
sauces, salads, meats, toppings and syrups. Our products include
film and filling systems for products utilizing hot and ambient,
retort and aseptic processing methods, as well as intermediate
bulk container products, which are used in the food, beverage
and industrial processing industries for storage and
transportation of primarily liquid material. We also provide
absorbent pads used for food packaging, foam and solid plastic
trays for a wide variety of food-related applications. In
addition to packaging materials, we also sell related packaging
systems, including vertical pouch packaging systems and vacuum
chamber systems.
We sell our products in this segment to food processors,
distributors, supermarket retailers and food service businesses.
We sell products in this segment primarily under the
Cryovac®
and
Darfresh®
trademarks, among others.
Protective
Packaging
This segment represents 17% of our pro forma net sales for the
twelve months ended June 30, 2011. Protective Packaging
offers the industrys most innovative and broadest range of
solutions to meet cushioning, void fill,
positioning/blocking-and-bracing, surface protection, multi-pack
and containment needs. We also distinguish ourselves through the
use of advanced material science, automation, and our extensive
sales, service and development labs which support broad global
distribution.
We offer protective packaging products and solutions aimed at
traditional industrial applications,
e-commerce/fulfillment
applications, as well as consumer-oriented applications. Our
products include air cellular packaging products, polyurethane
foam packaging systems, inflatable packaging systems, protective
mailers, performance shrink films and shrink packaging equipment
systems, among other products.
3
We manufacture and market Bubble
Wrap®
brand and
AirCap®
brand air cellular packaging materials, which employ barrier
layer technology that retains air for longer lasting protection.
Our
Instapak®
polyurethane foam packaging systems, which consist of
proprietary blends of polyurethane chemicals, high performance
polyolefin films and specially designed dispensing equipment,
provide protective packaging for a wide variety of applications.
We also provide
Jiffy®
protective mailers and other durable mailers and bags, many of
which are manufactured with recycled content.
We sell our products in this segment to manufacturers and
distributors in a wide variety of industries, as well as to
e-commerce
and mail order fulfillment companies.
Diversey
This segment represents 42% of our pro forma net sales for the
twelve months ended June 30, 2011. Diversey provides a wide
range of commercial cleaning, sanitation and hygiene products,
services and solutions globally to five application categories:
food service, food and beverage manufacturing and processing,
floor care, restroom care and housekeeping, and laundry.
We manufacture and market detergents, cleaners, sanitizers and
lubricants as well as proprietary dosing and dispensing
equipment, ware-washing systems, floor care cleaning systems, or
utensils, tools and handling and storage products. These
products, equipment and systems may be part of an integrated
solution that combines a cleaning product with an application
system, or may be offered independently.
We provide disinfecting, sanitizing, deodorizing and freshening
for both heavy industrial and light commercial applications,
focused on efficient and effective hygiene and sanitation while
improving customers operational efficiency and reducing
their total costs.
We offer our products directly and through third-party
distributors to customers in a variety of sectors including food
and beverage processors, fast food and full-service restaurants,
large global hotel chains, well-known retail chains, public and
private hospitals, educational institutions, building managers
and building service contractors, as well as many other small
and mid-sized customers. Our product brands include
TASKI®,
Signature®,
Suma®,
Clax®,
J-Flextm
and
Oxivir®.
Other
This category represents 4% of our pro forma net sales for the
twelve months ended June 30, 2011 and includes our
Specialty Materials business, our Medical Applications business
and our New Ventures activities.
Our
Competitive Strengths
Leading Positions in All Markets Served. We
are a leading global provider of institutional meat packaging
solutions, consumer-oriented case ready meat
packaging and industrial packaging solutions, and are one of the
two largest global providers of institutional and industrial
cleaning, sanitation and hygiene solutions, products and related
services. We are well positioned to offer the food processing
and food service industries improved hygiene, extended shelf
life and enhanced operational productivity by reducing
down-time, waste generation, water use, effluent discharge, and
energy consumption. We are also well positioned to offer
business supply distributors the broadest selection of premium
packaging and cleaning solutions to maximize distribution
efficiencies and customer reach.
Significant Scale and Global Reach. We are
present in 69 countries with a sales and distribution network
reaching 175 countries. This scale and reach enables us to meet
our customers needs as they expand their business on a
global basis. We have approximately 26,500 employees, of
whom approximately 8,500 act in customer-facing capacities. We
believe our geographic presence, extensive distribution network,
and exposure to a variety of end markets help diversify our
business, leverage our technology and our total systems solution
model and position us to capitalize on growth opportunities in
markets around the world.
Diversified and High Quality Customer
Base. Our customers include leading global food
and beverage processors, business supply distributors, consumer
products manufacturers, hotel operators, retailers, building
4
contractors, educational institutions and health care providers.
We serve many of the largest companies in each of these sectors,
and our customer base is diverse, with no single customer
representing more than 5% of 2010 net sales. Additionally,
our top 10 customers represent less than 20% of our
2010 net sales.
Leading Innovator Delivering Measurable Value to our
Customers. We are known as a leading innovator in
material science, solution formulations, equipment systems,
manufacturing technologies, and cleaning and sanitation
processes, which deliver automation and efficiencies in our
customers operations. Our solutions are differentiated by
proprietary, patented formulations and material technologies, as
well as by trade secrets and trademarks. We maintain our
position as a leading innovator through our global network of
labs, our extensive team of scientists, engineers, designers and
application experts, and by investing twice the industry average
on R&D as a percent of net sales. We provide our customers
with a compelling value proposition by delivering innovative,
sustainable solutions which we believe measurably enhance our
customers operational efficiency and ultimate
profitability. This value proposition is reflected by our market
leadership positions and decades-long customer relationships,
which we continue to enhance through new product introductions.
Highly Integrated with our Customer Base. We
have long-standing relationships with many of our top customers,
in part, due to our total systems solutions where our equipment
is installed in our customers facilities and integrated
into their operational processes. We leverage our extensive
installed equipment base when innovating new formulations and
solutions for customers and partner with customers to train
their employees on how to effectively apply our solutions and
operate our systems. We believe this provides customer
stickiness and recurring revenue streams for our
Company.
Solid Free Cash Flow Generation. The stability
of our business, combined with the relatively low capital
intensity of our operations and our solid working capital
management, supports our ability to generate free cash flow. We
believe we are well positioned to benefit from attractive
long-term global growth trends such as an increasing emphasis on
food safety and security, health and hygiene, and
sustainability, as well as our own geographic diversity, to
drive additional free cash flow.
Our
Strategy
Maintain and Expand our Positions with Key
Customers. We have developed a reputation for
delivering exceptional value to our customers proven by our
long-standing relationships and market leadership positions. Our
total systems solution model often involves technology and
equipment installed within our customers facilities which
further enhances the value we bring to our customers. We plan to
build on the strength of these relationships to deliver
end-to-end
solutions across the food
Production-Packaging-Preparation-Consumption
continuum to make us an increasingly important partner to our
customers.
Position our Company to Capture Growth Opportunities in
Developing Regions. We are focused on realizing
growth from developing regions due to favorable demand trends,
including: greater disposable income from a growing middle
class; the continued urbanization of populations; increased
wealth per capita driving greater demand for protein and higher
quality foods; and expansion of cold supply chains and
western-style retail supermarkets, which require more packaging.
As a result, these regions represent opportunities for enhanced
food production, packaging and processing, which offer growth
opportunities for our solutions.
Extend Reach and Maintain Innovation
Leadership. The Diversey acquisition provides
additional scope, scale, and geographic reach to deliver
proprietary solutions to address our customers unmet needs
in managing food safety, hygiene and shelf life performance
while maximizing productivity and reducing costs. We believe our
extensive competencies in food science, equipment automation,
cleaning and sanitation, and process integration position us to
address these unmet needs globally. We plan to build on these
combined strengths by innovating new
end-to-end
solutions across the food
Production-Packaging-Preparation-Consumption
continuum that will provide measurable value for our customers
and ultimately enhance the efficacy and efficiency of food
supply chains.
5
Integrate Diversey and Realize Cost
Savings. We intend to integrate Diversey to
achieve commercial and financial benefits. We have developed an
extensive integration plan that addresses both commercial
opportunities and areas for cost savings. We expect to realize
approximately $50 million of annual gross cost savings by
the end of 2013. We expect that additional cost savings will be
identified during the integration process and during the period
of our initial ownership of Diversey. We believe that any such
cost savings will further enhance our financial profile and free
cash flow generation.
Utilize Free Cash Flow to Repay Debt
Obligations. We have a long track record of free
cash flow generation and deleveraging through various economic
cycles. We plan to use internally-generated free cash flow to
repay our debt obligations and deleverage our balance sheet to
achieve an investment grade credit profile. In addition, we plan
to opportunistically invest in our businesses to further enhance
our free cash flow generation in the future.

SEALED
AIR SUMMARY HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL
AND OTHER DATA
The following table sets forth our summary historical financial
data and summary unaudited pro forma data as of and for the
periods indicated below. The summary financial data as of
December 31, 2010 and 2009 and for each of the three years
ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 have been derived
from our audited historical consolidated financial statements
and related notes included elsewhere in this offering
memorandum, which have been audited by KPMG LLP, independent
registered public accounting firm. The summary financial data as
of June 30, 2011 and for the six months ended June 30,
2011 and 2010 were derived from our unaudited historical
condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere
in this offering memorandum. The summary unaudited financial
information presented has been prepared on a basis consistent
with our audited consolidated financial statements. In the
opinion of management, such unaudited financial information
reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal and
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for those periods. The results of operations for the
interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year or any future period.
The summary unaudited pro forma data as of and for the twelve
months ended June 30, 2011 have been derived from the
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
included elsewhere in this offering memorandum. The unaudited
pro forma condensed combined balance sheet information as of
June 30, 2011 is presented as if the Transactions had
occurred on June 30, 2011. The unaudited pro forma
condensed combined statement of operations information is
presented as if the Transactions had occurred on January 1,
2010. We present the unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial information for informational purposes only. The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is
based on currently available information and assumptions that we
believe are reasonable at this time. The unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial information has been prepared using
the acquisition method of accounting under existing GAAP
standards, and is subject to change. Sealed Air has been treated
as the acquirer for accounting purposes. The acquisition method
of accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other
studies that have yet either to commence or progress to a stage
where there is sufficient information for a definitive
measurement of the fair values for certain tangible and
intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The primary
areas for which the purchase price allocation is not yet
completed relate to the fair value of certain tangible assets
acquired and liabilities assumed, the valuation of intangible
assets acquired, the determination of equity consideration
related to the replacement value of Diverseys unvested
stock options, income and non-income based taxes and goodwill.
Any increase to the purchase price allocated to property, plant
and equipment, net and identifiable intangible assets will
result in additional depreciation and amortization expense after
the consummation of the Acquisition. In addition, write-ups to
acquired inventories may result in increased costs of sales,
which in turn would reduce gross profit in the first full
quarter following the consummation of the Acquisition.
For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial statements included in this offering memorandum, we
have therefore assumed that the fair value of the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed equated to their respective
carrying values as of June 30, 2011, with the exception of
the Diversey Notes, which are publicly traded. Additionally, we
have assumed that the excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed is
allocated to goodwill.
As a result of the final determination of the purchase price,
fair values of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed
and resulting goodwill are expected to differ significantly from
what is reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial statements included elsewhere in this offering
memorandum.
The pro forma financial information is presented for
informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of
what our combined consolidated financial position or results of
operations actually would have been had we completed the
Acquisition at the dates indicated above. In addition, the
unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not
purport to project the future consolidated financial position or
results of operations of the combined company.
The summary historical and pro forma combined financial and
other data set forth below should be read in conjunction with

Does not reflect additional depreciation and amortization
expense resulting from the expected impact of the valuation of
tangible and intangible assets acquired from Diversey and other
effects of the acquisition method of accounting. |
|
(2) |
|
The depreciation and amortization amounts for 2008 have been
adjusted to exclude share-based incentive compensation expense
to conform to the 2009, 2010 and 2011 presentation. |
|
(3) |
|
Share-based incentive compensation expense is included in
marketing, administrative and development expenses on our
consolidated statements of operations for all periods. |
|

|
Includes $22.6 million of Diversey expenditures for
capitalized computer software. |

|
EBITDA, a measure used by management to evaluate operating
performance, is defined as net earnings plus (i) interest
expense, (ii) provision for income taxes and
(iii) depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a
recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an
alternative to net earnings as a measure of operating
performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a
measure of liquidity. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be
a measure of free cash flow available for managements
discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash
requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and other
debt service requirements. Management believes EBITDA is helpful
in highlighting trends because EBITDA excludes the results of
decisions that are outside the control of operating management
and that can differ significantly from company to company
depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital
structure, the tax jurisdictions in which companies operate and
capital investments. In addition, EBITDA provides more
comparability between our historical results and results that
reflect the Transactions. Management compensates for the
limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them
to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete
understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business
than GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical
calculations, our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable
to similarly titled measures of other companies. |
|
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted to exclude noncash
items, unusual items and other adjustments. We believe that the
inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in
presenting Adjusted EBITDA are appropriate to provide additional
information to investors about certain noncash items, unusual
items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the
future and other items. Such supplementary adjustments to EBITDA
may not be in accordance with current SEC practice or with
regulations adopted by the SEC that apply to registration
statements filed under the Securities Act and periodic reports
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act). Accordingly, the SEC may require that
Adjusted EBITDA be presented differently in filings made with
the SEC than as presented in this offering memorandum, or not be
presented at all. In addition, because not all companies use
identical calculations, our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other
companies. |

RISK
FACTORS
Any investment in the notes involves a high degree of risk.
You should carefully consider the risks described below and all
of the information contained in this offering memorandum before
deciding whether to purchase the notes. The risks and
uncertainties described below are not the only risks and
uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties
not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial
may also impair our business operations. If any of those risks
actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of
operations would suffer. The risks discussed below also include
forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ
substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking
statements. See Cautionary Statement Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements in this offering memorandum.
Risks
related to the combined company
Weakened
global economic conditions have had and could continue to have
an adverse effect on our consolidated financial position and
results of operations.
Weakened global economic conditions have had and may continue to
have an adverse impact on our business in the form of lower net
sales due to weakened demand, unfavorable changes in product
price/mix, or lower profit margins. For example, the recent
global economic downturn has adversely impacted some of
Diverseys end-users, such as hotels, restaurants, retail
establishments and other end-users that are particularly
sensitive to business and consumer spending.
During economic downturns or recessions, there can be a
heightened competition for sales and increased pressure to
reduce selling prices as our customers may reduce their volume
of purchases from us. If we lose significant sales volume or
reduce selling prices significantly, then there could be a
negative impact on our consolidated revenue, profitability and
cash flows.
Also, reduced availability of credit may adversely affect the
ability of some of our customers and suppliers to obtain funds
for operations and capital expenditures. This could negatively
impact our ability to obtain necessary supplies as well as our
sales of materials and equipment to affected customers. This
also could result in reduced or delayed collections of
outstanding accounts receivable.
The
global nature of our operations in the United States and in over
68 foreign countries exposes us to numerous risks that could
materially adversely affect our consolidated financial position
and results of operations.
We operate in the United States and in over 68 other countries,
and our products are distributed in those countries as well as
in other parts of the world. A large portion of our
manufacturing operations are located outside of the United
States and a substantial portion of our net sales are generated
outside of the United States. Operations outside of the United
States, particularly operations in developing regions, are
subject to various risks that may not be present or as
significant for our U.S. operations. Economic uncertainty
in some of the geographic regions in which we operate, including
developing regions, could result in the disruption of commerce
and negatively impact cash flows from our operations in those
areas.
Risks inherent in our international operations include:
|
|
|
|
|
foreign currency exchange controls;
|
|
|
|
foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, including
devaluations;
|
|
|
|
the potential for changes in regional and local economic
conditions, including local inflationary pressures;
|
|
|
|
unstable political conditions;
|
|
|
|
restrictive governmental actions such as those on transfer or
repatriation of funds and trade protection matters, including
antidumping duties, tariffs, embargoes and prohibitions or
restrictions on acquisitions or joint ventures;
|
11
|
|
|
|
|
changes in laws and regulations, including the laws and policies
of the United States affecting trade and foreign investment;
|
|
|
|
the difficulty of enforcing agreements and collecting
receivables through certain foreign legal systems;
|
|
|
|
variations in protection of intellectual property and other
legal rights;
|
|
|
|
more expansive legal rights of foreign unions or works councils;
|
|
|
|
social plans that prohibit or increase the cost of certain
restructuring actions;
|
|
|
|
the potential for nationalization of enterprises or
facilities; and
|
|
|
|
unsettled political conditions and possible terrorist attacks
against U.S. or other interests.
|
In addition, there are potential tax inefficiencies in
repatriating funds from our
non-U.S. subsidiaries.
These and other factors may have a material adverse effect on
our international operations and, consequently, on our
consolidated financial position and results of operations.
If the
settlement of the asbestos-related claims that we have agreed to
(the Settlement agreement) is not implemented, we
will not be released from the various asbestos-related,
fraudulent transfer, successor liability, and indemnification
claims made against us arising from a 1998 transaction with
Grace. We have no control over the timing of the cash payment
required from us under the Settlement agreement. We are also a
defendant in a number of asbestos-related actions in Canada
arising from Graces activities in Canada prior to the 1998
transaction.
On March 31, 1998, Sealed Air completed a multi-step
transaction (the Cryovac transaction) involving W.R.
Grace & Co. (Grace) which brought the Cryovac
packaging business and the former Sealed Air Corporations
business under the common ownership of the Company. As part of
that transaction, Grace and its subsidiaries retained all
liabilities arising out of their operations before the Cryovac
transaction (including asbestos-related liabilities), other than
liabilities relating to Cryovacs operations, and agreed to
indemnify the Company with respect to such retained liabilities.
Since 2000, the Company has been served with a number of
lawsuits alleging that, as a result of the Cryovac transaction,
the Company is responsible for the alleged asbestos liabilities
of Grace and its subsidiaries. While they vary, these suits all
appear to allege that the transfer of the Cryovac business was a
fraudulent transfer or gave rise to successor liability. On
April 2, 2001, Grace and certain of its subsidiaries filed
for Chapter 11 relief in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware (the Bankruptcy Court). In
connection with Graces Chapter 11 case, the
Bankruptcy Court issued orders dated May 3, 2001 and
January 22, 2002, staying all asbestos actions against the
Company. However, the official committees appointed to represent
asbestos claimants in Graces Chapter 11 case (the
Committees) received the courts permission to
pursue fraudulent transfer and other claims against the Company
and its subsidiary Cryovac, Inc. based upon the Cryovac
transaction. This proceeding was brought in the
U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (Adv.
No. 02-02210).
On November 27, 2002, we reached an agreement in principle
with the Committees to resolve the fraudulent transfer
proceeding and all current and future asbestos-related claims
made against us and our affiliates in connection with the
Cryovac transaction. The Settlement agreement will also resolve
the fraudulent transfer claims and successor liability claims,
as well as indemnification claims by Fresenius Medical Care
Holdings, Inc. and affiliated companies in connection with the
Cryovac transaction. The parties to the agreement in principle
signed the definitive Settlement agreement as of
November 10, 2003 consistent with the terms of the
agreement in principle. On June 27, 2005, the Bankruptcy
Court signed an order approving the definitive Settlement
agreement. Although Grace is not a party to the Settlement
agreement, under the terms of the order, Grace is directed to
comply with the Settlement agreement subject to limited
exceptions. On September 19, 2008, Grace, the Official
Committee of Asbestos Personal Injury Claimants, the Asbestos PI
Future Claimants Representative (the FCR), and
the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders (the
Equity Committee) filed, as co-proponents, a plan of
reorganization (as filed and amended from time to time, the
PI Settlement Plan) and several exhibits and
associated documents, including a disclosure statement (as filed
and amended from time to time, the PI Settlement
Disclosure Statement), with the Bankruptcy
12
Court. As filed, the PI Settlement Plan would provide for the
establishment of two asbestos trusts under Section 524(g)
of the United States Bankruptcy Code to which present and future
asbestos-related claims would be channeled. The PI Settlement
Plan also contemplates that the terms of our definitive
Settlement agreement will be incorporated into the PI Settlement
Plan and that we will pay the amount contemplated by that
agreement.
On January 31, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered a
memorandum opinion (the Memorandum Opinion)
overruling certain objections to the PI Settlement Plan. On the
same date, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order regarding
confirmation of the PI Settlement Plan (the Confirmation
Order). As entered on January 31, 2011, the
Confirmation Order contained recommended findings of fact and
conclusions of law, and recommended that the U.S. District
Court for the District of Delaware (the District
Court) approve the Confirmation Order, and that the
District Court confirm the PI Settlement Plan and issue a
channeling injunction under Section 524(g) of the
Bankruptcy Code. Thereafter, on February 15, 2011, the
Bankruptcy Court issued an order clarifying its Memorandum
Opinion and Confirmation Order (the Clarifying
Order). Among other things, the Clarifying Order provided
that any references in the Memorandum Opinion and Confirmation
Order to a recommendation that the District Court confirm the PI
Settlement Plan were thereby amended to make clear that the PI
Settlement Plan was confirmed and that the Bankruptcy Court was
requesting that the District Court issue and affirm the
Confirmation Order including the injunction under
Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. On March 11,
2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting in part and
denying in part a motion to reconsider the Memorandum Opinion
filed by BNSF Railway Company (the March 11 Order).
Among other things, the March 11 Order amended the Memorandum
Opinion to clarify certain matters relating to objections to the
PI Settlement Plan filed by BNSF.
If it becomes effective, the PI Settlement Plan may implement
the terms of the Settlement agreement, but there can be no
assurance that this will be the case notwithstanding the
Bankruptcy Courts confirmation of the PI Settlement Plan.
The terms of the PI Settlement Plan remain subject to amendment.
Moreover, the PI Settlement Plan is subject to the satisfaction
of a number of conditions which are more fully set forth in the
PI Settlement Plan and include, without limitation, the
availability of exit financing and the approval of the PI
Settlement Plan by the District Court. Additionally, various
parties have filed notices of appeal or have otherwise
challenged the Memorandum Opinion and Confirmation Order, and
the PI Settlement Plan may be subject to further appeal or
challenge before the District Court or other courts. The
appealing parties have designated various issues to be
considered on appeal, including without limitation issues
relating to releases and injunctions contained in the PI
Settlement Plan. The District Court held hearings on June 28 and
June 29, 2011, to hear oral arguments in connection with
appeals of the Memorandum Opinion and the Confirmation Order.
The District Court took the matters under advisement and has not
yet ruled on the appeals.
While the Bankruptcy Court has confirmed the PI Settlement Plan
and the District Court held hearings to consider oral argument
relating to appeals of the Memorandum Opinion and the
Confirmation Order, additional proceedings may be held before
the District Court or other courts to consider matters related
to the PI Settlement Plan. We do not know whether or when the
District Court will affirm the Memorandum Opinion or the
Confirmation Order or approve the PI Settlement Plan, or whether
or when a final plan of reorganization will become effective.
Assuming that a final plan of reorganization (whether the PI
Settlement Plan or another plan of reorganization) is confirmed
by the Bankruptcy Court, approved by the District Court, and
does become effective, we do not know whether the final plan of
reorganization will be consistent with the terms of the
Settlement agreement and if the other conditions to our
obligation to pay the Settlement agreement amount will be met.
If these conditions are not satisfied or not waived by us, we
will not be obligated to pay the amount contemplated by the
Settlement agreement. However, if we do not pay the Settlement
agreement amount, we and our affiliates will not be released
from the various claims against us.
If the Settlement agreement does not become effective, either
because Grace fails to emerge from bankruptcy or because Grace
does not emerge from bankruptcy with a plan of reorganization
that is consistent with the terms of the Settlement agreement,
then we and our affiliates will not be released from the various
asbestos-related, fraudulent transfer, successor liability, and
indemnification claims made against us and our affiliates noted
above, and all of these claims would remain pending and would
have to be resolved through other means, such as through
agreement on alternative settlement terms or trials. In that
case, we could face
13
liabilities that are significantly different from our
obligations under the Settlement agreement. We cannot estimate
at this time what those differences or their magnitude may be.
In the event these liabilities are materially larger than the
current existing obligations, they could have a material adverse
effect on our consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
Since November 2004, the Company and specified subsidiaries have
been named as defendants in a number of cases, including a
number of putative class actions, brought in Canada as a result
of Graces alleged marketing, manufacturing or distributing
of asbestos or asbestos containing products in Canada prior to
the Cryovac transaction in 1998. Grace has agreed to defend and
indemnify us and our subsidiaries in these cases. The Canadian
cases are currently stayed. A global settlement of these
Canadian claims to be funded by Grace has been approved by the
Canadian court, and the PI Settlement Plan provides for payment
of these claims. We do not have any positive obligations under
the Canadian settlement, but we are a beneficiary of the release
of claims. The release in favor of the Grace parties (including
us) will become operative upon the effective date of a plan of
reorganization in Graces United States Chapter 11
bankruptcy proceeding. As filed, the PI Settlement Plan
contemplates that the claims released under the Canadian
settlement will be subject to injunctions under
Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. As indicated above,
the Bankruptcy Court entered the Confirmation Order on
January 31, 2011 and the Clarifying Order on
February 15, 2011; however, we can give no assurance that
the PI Settlement Plan (or any other plan of reorganization)
will be approved by the District Court, or will become
effective. Assuming that a final plan of reorganization (whether
the PI Settlement Plan or another plan of reorganization) is
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, approved by the District
Court, and does become effective, if the final plan of
reorganization does not incorporate the terms of the Canadian
settlement or if the Canadian courts refuse to enforce the final
plan of reorganization in the Canadian courts, and if in
addition Grace is unwilling or unable to defend and indemnify us
and our subsidiaries in these cases, then we could be required
to pay substantial damages, which we cannot estimate at this
time and which could have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position and results of operations.
For further information concerning these matters, see
Note 16 to our 2010 audited consolidated financial
statements and Note 13 to our June 30, 2011 unaudited
consolidated interim financial statements.
Raw
material pricing, availability and allocation by suppliers as
well as energy-related costs may negatively impact our results
of operations, including our profit margins.
Sealed Air uses petrochemical-based raw materials to manufacture
many of its products. The prices for these raw materials are
cyclical, and increases in market demand or fluctuations in the
global trade for petrochemical-based raw materials and energy
could increase our costs. In addition, the prices of many of the
key raw materials Diversey uses in its business, such as caustic
soda, solvents, waxes, phosphates, surfactants, polymers and
resins, chelates and fragrances, are cyclical based on numerous
supply and demand factors that are beyond our control. If we are
unable to minimize the effects of increased raw material costs
through sourcing, pricing or other actions, our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be
materially adversely affected. We also have some sole-source
suppliers, and the lack of availability of supplies could have a
material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition
and results of operations.
Natural disasters such as hurricanes, as well as political
instability and terrorist activities, may negatively impact the
production or delivery capabilities of refineries and natural
gas and petrochemical suppliers and suppliers of other raw
materials in the future. These factors could lead to increased
prices for our raw materials, curtailment of supplies and
allocation of raw materials by our suppliers, which could reduce
revenues and profit margins and harm relations with our
customers and which could have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial condition and results of operations.
14
The
effects of animal and food-related health issues such as bovine
spongiform encephalopathy, also known as mad cow
disease,
foot-and-mouth
disease and avian influenza or bird-flu, as well as
other health issues affecting the food industry, may lead to
decreased revenues.
We manufacture and sell food packaging products, among other
products. Various health issues affecting the food industry have
in the past and may in the future have a negative effect on the
sales of food packaging products. In recent years, occasional
cases of mad cow disease have been confirmed and incidents of
bird flu have surfaced in various countries. Outbreaks of animal
diseases may lead governments to restrict exports and imports of
potentially affected animals and food products, leading to
decreased demand for our products and possibly also to the
culling or slaughter of significant numbers of the animal
population otherwise intended for food supply. Also, consumers
may change their eating habits as a result of perceived problems
with certain types of food. These factors may lead to reduced
sales of food businesses products, which could have a
material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position
and results of operations.
Demand
for our products could be adversely affected by changes in
consumer preferences.
Our sales depend heavily on the volumes of sales by our
customers in the food processing and food service industries.
Consumer preferences for food and packaging formats of
prepackaged food can influence our sales, as well as consumer
preferences for fresh and unpackaged foods. Changes in consumer
behavior could negatively impact demand for our products,
including changes in consumer preferences driven by various
health-related concerns and perceptions.
The
consolidation of customers may adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
Customers in the building care, food service, food and beverage
processing, lodging, retail and health care sectors have been
consolidating in recent years, and we believe this trend may
continue. Such consolidation could have an adverse impact on the
pricing of our products and services and our ability to retain
customers, which could in turn adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
We
experience competition in the markets for our products and
services and in the geographic areas in which we
operate.
Our products compete with similar products made by other
manufacturers and with a number of other types of materials or
products. We compete on the basis of performance characteristics
of our products, as well as service, price and innovations in
technology. A number of competing domestic and foreign companies
are well-established.
The market for Diverseys products is highly competitive.
Diverseys primary global competitor is Ecolab, Inc., which
is the largest supplier to the global market for institutional
and industrial cleaning, sanitation and hygiene products and
related services, mainly as a result of its significant presence
in the U.S. health and hospitality market. Diversey also
faces significant competition from numerous national, regional
and local companies within some or all of its product lines in
each sector that it serves. Barriers to entry and expansion in
the institutional and industrial cleaning, sanitation and
hygiene industry are low.
Our inability to maintain a competitive advantage could result
in lower prices or lower sales volumes for our products, which
would have a negative impact on our consolidated financial
position and results of operations.
Concerns
about greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate
change and the resulting governmental and market responses to
these issues could increase costs that we incur and could
otherwise affect our consolidated financial position and results
of operations.
Numerous legislative and regulatory initiatives have been
enacted and proposed in response to concerns about GHG emissions
and climate change. We are a manufacturing entity that utilizes
petrochemical-based
15
raw materials to produce many of our products, including plastic
packaging materials. Increased environmental legislation or
regulation could result in higher costs for us in the form of
higher raw materials and freight and energy costs. We could also
incur additional compliance costs for monitoring and reporting
emissions and for maintaining permits. It is also possible that
certain materials might cease to be permitted to be used in our
processes.
Disruption
and volatility of the financial and credit markets could affect
our external liquidity sources.
Our principal sources of liquidity are accumulated cash and cash
equivalents, short-term investments, cash flow from operations
and amounts available under our existing and new lines of
credit, including the senior secured credit facilities and our
accounts receivable securitization program. Our accounts
receivable securitization program includes a bank financing
commitment that must be renewed annually prior to the expiration
date. The bank commitment is scheduled to expire on
December 2, 2011. While the bank is not obligated to renew
the bank financing commitment, we have negotiated annual
renewals since the commencement of the program in 2001.
Additionally, conditions in financial markets could affect
financial institutions with which we have relationships and
could result in adverse effects on our ability to utilize fully
our committed borrowing facilities. For example, a lender under
the senior secured credit facilities may be unwilling or unable
to fund a borrowing request, and we may not be able to replace
such lender.
Strengthening
of the U.S. dollar and other foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations could materially impact our consolidated financial
position and results of operations.
A substantial portion of our net sales are generated outside the
United States. We translate sales and other results denominated
in foreign currency into U.S. dollars for our consolidated
financial statements. During periods of a strengthening
U.S. dollar, our reported international sales and net
earnings could be reduced because foreign currencies may
translate into fewer U.S. dollars.
Also, while we often produce in the same geographic markets as
our products are sold, expenses are more concentrated in the
United States compared with sales, so that in a time of
strengthening of the U.S. dollar, our profit margins could
be reduced. While we use financial instruments to hedge certain
foreign currency exposures, this does not insulate us completely
from foreign currency effects.
We have recognized foreign exchange gains and losses related to
the currency devaluations in Venezuela and its designation as a
highly inflationary economy under GAAP, effective
January 1, 2010. See Sealed Air Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk Foreign Exchange Rates
Venezuela.
We may use financial instruments from time to time to manage
exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, which exposes us
to counterparty credit risk for non-performance. See
Note 12 to our 2010 audited consolidated financial
statements and Note 10 to our June 30, 2011 unaudited
consolidated interim financial statements.
In all jurisdictions in which we operate, we are also subject to
laws and regulations that govern foreign investment, foreign
trade and currency exchange transactions. These laws and
regulations may limit our ability to repatriate cash as
dividends or otherwise to the United States and may limit our
ability to convert foreign currency cash flows into
U.S. dollars.
The
full realization of our deferred tax assets, including primarily
those related to the Settlement agreement, may be affected by a
number of factors.
Sealed Air has deferred tax assets related to the Settlement
agreement, other accruals not yet deductible for tax purposes,
foreign net operating loss carry forwards and investment tax
allowances, employee benefit items, and other items. We have
established valuation allowances to reduce those deferred tax
assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.
Our ability to utilize these deferred tax assets depends in part
upon our future operating results. We expect to realize these
assets over an extended period. If we are unable to generate
16
sufficient future taxable income in certain jurisdictions, or if
there is a significant change in the time period within which
the underlying temporary differences become taxable or
deductible, we could be required to increase our valuation
allowances against our deferred tax assets. This would result in
an increase in our effective tax rate, and would have an adverse
effect on our future operating results. In addition, changes in
statutory tax rates may change our deferred tax assets or
liability balances, with either favorable or unfavorable impact
on our effective tax rate. Our deferred tax assets may also be
impacted by new legislation or regulation.
Our largest deferred tax asset relates to our Settlement
agreement. The value of this asset, which was $368 million
at December 31, 2010, may be affected by our tax situation
at the time of the payment under the Settlement agreement as
well as by the value of our common stock at that time. The
deferred tax asset reflects the fair market value of
18 million shares of our common stock at a post-split price
of $17.86 per share based on the price when the Settlement
agreement was reached in 2002. See Note 15 to our 2010
audited consolidated financial statements. We will not be able
to realize this deferred tax asset until the currently proposed
plan of reorganization of Grace becomes effective.
Our
annual effective income tax rate can change materially as a
result of changes in our mix of U.S. and foreign earnings and
other factors, including changes in tax laws and changes made by
regulatory authorities.
Our overall effective income tax rate is equal to our total tax
expense as a percentage of total earnings before tax. However,
income tax expense and benefits are not recognized on a global
basis but rather on a jurisdictional or legal entity basis.
Changes in statutory tax rates and laws, as well as ongoing
audits by domestic and international authorities, could affect
the amount of income taxes and other taxes paid by us. For
example, legislative proposals to change U.S. taxation of
non-U.S. earnings
could increase our effective tax rate. Also, changes in the mix
of earnings between jurisdictions and assumptions used in the
calculation of income taxes, among other factors, could have a
significant effect on our overall effective income tax rate.
We are
subject to taxation in multiple jurisdictions. As a result, any
adverse development in the tax laws of any of these
jurisdictions or any disagreement with our tax positions could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations.
We are subject to taxation in, and to the tax laws and
regulations of, multiple jurisdictions as a result of the
international scope of our operations and our corporate and
financing structure. We are also subject to transfer pricing
laws with respect to our intercompany transactions, including
those relating to the flow of funds among our companies. Adverse
developments in these laws or regulations, or any change in
position regarding the application, administration or
interpretation thereof, in any applicable jurisdiction, could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of our operations. In addition, the tax
authorities in any applicable jurisdiction, including the United
States, may disagree with the positions we have taken or intend
to take regarding the tax treatment or characterization of any
of our transactions. If any applicable tax authorities,
including U.S. tax authorities, were to successfully
challenge the tax treatment or characterization of any of our
transactions, it could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or results of our operations.
Our
performance and prospects for future growth could be adversely
affected if new products do not meet sales or margin
expectations.
Our competitive advantage is due in part to our ability to
develop and introduce new products in a timely manner at
favorable margins. The development and introduction cycle of new
products can be lengthy and involve high levels of investment.
New products may not meet sales expectations or margin
expectations due to many factors, including our inability to:
(i) accurately predict demand, end-user preferences and
evolving industry standards; (ii) resolve technical and
technological challenges in a timely and cost-effective manner;
or (iii) achieve manufacturing efficiencies.
17
A
major loss of or disruption in our manufacturing and
distribution operations or our information systems and
telecommunication resources could adversely affect our
business.
If we experienced a natural disaster, such as a tornado,
hurricane, earthquake or other severe weather event, or a
casualty loss from an event such as a fire or flood, at one of
our larger strategic facilities or if such event affected a key
supplier, our supply chain or our information systems and
telecommunication resources, then there could be a material
adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations.
We are dependent on internal and third party information
technology networks and systems, including the Internet, to
process, transmit and store electronic information. In
particular, we depend on our information technology
infrastructure for fulfilling and invoicing customer orders,
applying cash receipts, and placing purchase orders with
suppliers, making cash disbursements, and conducting digital
marketing activities, data processing and electronic
communications among business locations. We also depend on
telecommunication systems for communications between company
personnel and our customers and suppliers. Future system
disruptions, security breaches or shutdowns could significantly
disrupt our operations or result in lost or misappropriated
information and may have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
We
will record a significant amount of additional goodwill and
other identifiable intangible assets as a result of the
Acquisition, and we may never realize the full carrying value of
these assets.
As a result of the Acquisition, we will record a significant
amount of additional goodwill and other identifiable intangible
assets, including customer relationships, trademarks and
developed technologies. At this time we cannot estimate the
amount of other identifiable intangible assets we will record;
however, as of June 30, 2011, on a pro forma combined basis
after giving effect to the Transactions, our goodwill would have
been approximately $5.9 billion, or approximately 51% of
our total assets. See Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Financial Information.
We test goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives for possible impairment annually during the fourth quarter
of each fiscal year or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired.
Amortizable intangible assets are periodically reviewed for
possible impairment whenever there is evidence that events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may
not be recoverable. Impairment may result from, among other
things, (i) a decrease in our expected net earnings;
(ii) adverse equity market conditions; (iii) a decline
in current market multiples; (iv) a decline in our common
stock price; (v) a significant adverse change in legal
factors or business climates; (vi) an adverse action or
assessment by a regulator; (vii) heightened competition;
(viii) strategic decisions made in response to economic or
competitive conditions; or (ix) a more-likely-than-not
expectation that a reporting unit or a significant portion of a
reporting unit will be sold or disposed of. In the event that we
determine that events or circumstances exist that indicate that
the carrying value of goodwill or identifiable intangible assets
may no longer be recoverable, we might have to recognize a
non-cash impairment of goodwill or other identifiable intangible
assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our
consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Product
liability claims or regulatory actions could adversely affect
our financial results or harm our reputation or the value of our
brands.
Claims for losses or injuries purportedly caused by some of our
products arise in the ordinary course of our business. In
addition to the risk of substantial monetary judgments, product
liability claims or regulatory actions could result in negative
publicity that could harm our reputation in the marketplace or
adversely impact the value of our brands or our ability to sell
our products in certain jurisdictions. We could also be required
to recall possibly defective products, which could result in
adverse publicity and significant expenses. Although we maintain
product liability insurance coverage, potential product
liability claims could be excluded or exceed coverage limits
under the terms of our insurance policies or could result in
increased costs for such coverage.
18
The
relationship with S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc.
(SCJ) is important to the Diversey business, and any
damage to this relationship could have a material adverse effect
on the Diversey business.
Diversey is party to various agreements with SCJ, including a
brand license agreement (the BLA), a technology
disclosure and license agreement (TDLA), supply and
manufacturing agreements and several leases. Under the BLA,
Diversey is granted a license in specified territories to sell
certain SCJ products and use specified trade names and
housemarks incorporating Johnson, including the
right to use Johnson in combination with its owned
trade name Diversey, in the institutional and
industrial channels of trade and, subject to certain
limitations, in specified channels of trade in which both
Diverseys business and SCJs consumer business
operate. SCJ is the sole supplier of SCJ products licensed to
Diversey under the BLA. Sales of these products have
historically been significant to Diverseys business. Under
the TDLA, SCJ has granted Diversey the right to use specified
technology of SCJ. Diversey leases its principal manufacturing
facilities in Sturtevant, Wisconsin from SCJ. In addition, in
some countries, Diversey depends on SCJ to produce or sell some
of its products. If Diversey defaults under its agreements with
SCJ and the agreements are terminated, SCJ fails to perform its
obligations under these agreements, or Diverseys
relationship with SCJ is otherwise damaged or severed, this
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Diverseys
relationship with Unilever N.V. (Unilever) is
important to its future operations, and Diversey may lose
substantial amounts in agency fees or sales revenue if the
License Agreement (as defined below) and distribution
arrangements with Unilever are terminated.
In connection with Diverseys acquisition of the
DiverseyLever business from Conopco, Inc. (Conopco),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Unilever, in May 2002, Diversey
entered into the Prior Agency Agreement with Unilever. The Prior
Agency Agreement provided that Diversey and various of its
subsidiaries act as Unilevers sales agents in specified
territories for the sale into the institutional and industrial
markets of certain of Unilevers consumer brand cleaning
products. With the exception of some transitional arrangements
for certain countries, on January 1, 2008, in all
territories except the United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal and
Brazil, the Prior Agency Agreement was replaced with the License
Agreement. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Unilever has
agreed to grant 31 of Diverseys subsidiaries a license to
produce and sell professional size packs of Unilevers
consumer brand cleaning products. In the United Kingdom,
Ireland, Portugal and Brazil, the New Agency Agreement (as
defined below) is in place.
If Diversey is unable to comply with its obligations under these
agreements, or if Unilever terminates all or any of these
agreements for any other reason, including if Diversey is
insolvent or its sales drop below 75% of targeted sales for a
given year in a region/operating segment, we may lose
significant amounts in agency fees or sales revenue. If Unilever
fails to observe its commitments under these agreements, we may
not be able to operate in accordance with our business plans and
we may incur additional costs. Any failure by Unilever to
observe its obligations may have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows. If any or all of the agreements are terminated prior
to their scheduled termination date, including as a result of a
change of control of Diversey, or if we and Unilever are unable
to agree to mutually acceptable replacement agreements, we may
not be able to obtain similar services, intellectual property or
products on the same terms from third parties or at all. As a
result, we may lose substantial amounts in agency fees or sales
revenue, which may have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows.
In addition, as a result of the DiverseyLever acquisition,
Diversey owns the name Diversey. Diversey also holds
licenses to use some trademarks and technology of Unilever in
the market for institutional and industrial cleaning, sanitation
and hygiene products and related services under license
agreements with Unilever. We believe that these license
agreements are critical to our business and the termination of
our rights under any of these agreements may have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
19
If we
are unable to retain key employees and other personnel, our
operations and growth may be adversely affected.
Our success depends largely on the efforts and abilities of our
management team and other key personnel. Their experience and
industry contacts significantly benefit us, and we need their
expertise to execute our business strategies. If any of our
senior management or other key personnel ceases to work for us,
our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows may be materially adversely affected.
On July 28, 2011, David H. Kelsey notified us of his
resignation as Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective
as of August 12, 2011. Tod S. Christie, who has been
serving as the Companys Treasurer, has been appointed as
the Interim Chief Financial Officer, effective as of the close
of business on August 12, 2011. We intend to appoint a new
permanent Chief Financial Officer once we have identified and
agreed on terms with a suitable candidate. We can provide no
assurance as to how long it will take us to appoint a new
permanent Chief Financial Officer.
We
could experience disruptions in operations and/or increased
labor costs.
In Europe, the majority of our employees is represented by labor
unions and is covered by collective bargaining agreements, which
are generally renewable on an annual basis. As is the case with
any negotiation, we may not be able to negotiate acceptable new
collective bargaining agreements, which could result in strikes
or work stoppages by affected workers. Renewal of collective
bargaining agreements could also result in higher wages or
benefits paid to union members. A disruption in operations or
higher ongoing labor costs could materially affect our business.
Pricing
terms in our multi-year contracts with customers may adversely
affect our profitability and cash flows.
From time to time, we enter into multi-year contracts with some
of our customers. These contracts may include terms restricting
our pricing flexibility. Under these contracts, we bear a
significant portion of the risk for cost overruns. Accordingly,
we may incur losses under such contracts in the case of
unexpected cost increases, operational difficulties or other
changes during the contract period. If we were to experience
significant unexpected cost increases under our multi-year
contracts, the resulting losses could have an adverse impact on
our profitability and cash flows.
The
United States Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the
United States Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
2010 could result in increased costs related to our
postretirement benefit plans.
In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010
were signed into law. These statutes include a number of
provisions that will impact companies that provide retiree
health care benefits through postretirement benefit plans and
will require certain changes to be made to individual plans in
order to comply with the new legislation.
In addition, these statutes require changes to our information
technology infrastructure and in our administrative processes.
The ultimate extent and cost of these changes, including the
timing of when these costs will be recognized in our
consolidated financial statements, cannot be determined at this
time but will continue to be evaluated as regulations and
interpretations relating to the legislation become available.
We are
subject to a variety of environmental and product registration
laws that expose us to potential financial liability and
increased operating costs.
Our operations are subject to a number of federal, state, local
and foreign environmental, health and safety laws and
regulations that govern, among other things, the manufacture of
our products, the discharge of pollutants into the air, soil and
water and the use, handling, storage and disposal of hazardous
materials.
Some jurisdictions have laws and regulations that govern the
registration and labeling of some of our products. Some of these
laws require us to have operating permits for our production and
warehouse facilities
20
and operations. Any failure to obtain, maintain or comply with
the terms of these permits could result in fines or penalties,
revocation or nonrenewal of our permits, or orders to cease
certain operations, and may have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows. For example, a recent unfavorable court decision
regarding a municipal operating permit for one of our food
packaging facilities in Sao Paulo, Brazil leaves the facility
subject to an order to close. Although we are working to resolve
the dispute, if our facility is required to close or relocate we
could incur substantial charges.
We generate, use and dispose of hazardous materials in our
manufacturing processes. In the event our operations result in
the release of hazardous materials into the environment, we may
become responsible for the costs associated with the
investigation and remediation of sites at which we have released
pollutants, or sites where we have disposed or arranged for the
disposal of hazardous wastes, even if we fully complied with
environmental laws at the time of disposal. Both we and Diversey
have been, and may continue to be, responsible for the cost of
remediation at some locations.
We expect significant future environmental compliance
obligations in our European operations as a result of a European
Union (EU) Directive Registration, Evaluation,
Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (EU Directive
No. 2006/1907) enacted on December 18, 2006. The
directive imposes several requirements related to the
identification and management of risks related to chemical
substances manufactured or marketed in Europe. The EU has also
recently enacted a Classification, Packaging and
Labeling regulation. Other jurisdictions may impose
similar requirements.
We cannot predict with reasonable certainty the future cost to
us of environmental compliance, product registration, or
environmental remediation. Environmental laws have become more
stringent and complex over time. Our environmental costs and
operating expenses will be subject to evolving regulatory
requirements and will depend on the scope and timing of the
effectiveness of requirements in these various jurisdictions. As
a result of such requirements, we may be subject to an increased
regulatory burden, and we expect significant future
environmental compliance obligations in our operations.
Increased compliance costs, increasing risks and penalties
associated with violations, or our inability to market some of
our products in certain jurisdictions may have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
Diversey
has tendered various environmental indemnification claims to
Unilever pursuant to the Unilever Acquisition Agreement (as
defined below).
Under the Unilever Acquisition Agreement, Unilever made
warranties to Diversey with respect to the DiverseyLever
business. In addition, Unilever agreed to indemnify Diversey for
specified types of environmental liabilities if the aggregate
amount of damages meets various dollar thresholds, subject to a
cap of $250 million in the aggregate. Diversey was required
to notify Unilever of any environmental indemnification claims
by May 3, 2008. Any environmental claims pending after this
date, with respect to which Diversey has notified Unilever,
remain subject to indemnification until completed in accordance
with the Unilever Acquisition Agreement. If Diversey incurs
damages or liabilities that do not meet the indemnity thresholds
under the Unilever Acquisition Agreement, if Diversey failed to
notify Unilever of an environmental indemnity claim within the
period specified in the Unilver Acquisition Agreement or if the
aggregate limits on indemnity payments under the Unilever
Acquisition Agreement become applicable, Diversey would not be
entitled to indemnity from Unilever for such non-qualifying
claims and it would be required to bear the costs.
Diversey has tendered various environmental indemnification
claims to Unilever in connection with former DiverseyLever
locations. Unilever has not indicated its agreement with
Diverseys request for indemnification. Diversey may file
additional requests for reimbursement in the future in
connection with pending indemnification claims. However, there
can be no assurance that Diversey will be able to recover any
amounts relating to these indemnification claims from Unilever.
Our
insurance policies may not cover all operating risks and a
casualty loss beyond the limits of our coverage could adversely
impact our business.
Our business is subject to operating hazards and risks relating
to handling, storing, and transporting of the products it sells.
We maintain insurance policies in such amounts and with such
coverage and deductibles that
21
we believe are reasonable and prudent. Nevertheless, our
insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect us from all
liabilities and expenses that may arise from claims for personal
injury or death or property damage arising in the ordinary
course of business, and our current levels of insurance may not
be maintained or available in the future at economical prices.
If a significant liability claim is brought against us that is
not adequately covered by insurance, we may have to pay the
claim with our own funds, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
If we
are not able to protect our trade secrets or maintain our
trademarks, patents and other intellectual property, we may not
be able to prevent competitors from developing similar products
or from marketing their products in a manner that capitalizes on
our trademarks, and this loss of a competitive advantage could
decrease our profitability and liquidity.
Our ability to compete effectively with other companies depends,
in part, on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of
our owned and licensed intellectual property. If we were unable
to maintain the proprietary nature of our intellectual property
and our significant current or proposed products, this loss of a
competitive advantage could result in decreased sales or
increased operating costs, either of which would decrease our
liquidity and profitability.
We rely on trade secrets to maintain our competitive position,
including protecting the formulation and manufacturing
techniques of many of our products. As such, we have not sought
U.S. or international patent protection for some of our
principal product formula and manufacturing processes.
Accordingly, we may not be able to prevent others from
developing products that are similar to or competitive with our
products.
We own several patents and pending patent applications on our
products, aspects thereof, methods of use,
and/or
methods of manufacturing. There is a risk that our patents may
not provide meaningful protection and patents may never be
issued for our pending patent applications.
We own, or have licenses to use, all of the material trademark
and trade name rights used in connection with the packaging,
marketing and distribution of our major products both in the
United States and in other countries where our products are
principally sold. Trademark and trade name protection is
important to our business. Although most of our trademarks are
registered in the United States and in the foreign countries in
which we operate, we may not be successful in asserting
trademark or trade name protection. In addition, the laws of
some foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property
rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. The
costs required to protect our trademarks and trade names may be
substantial.
The market for our products depends to a significant extent upon
the goodwill associated with our brand names. Under the BLA,
Diversey is granted a license in specified territories to sell
certain SCJ products and use specified trade names and
housemarks incorporating Johnson, including the
right to use Johnson in combination with its owned
trade name Diversey, in its business. The BLA will
terminate by its terms on May 2, 2017. Thereafter, the BLA
can be renewed, with SCJs consent, for successive one-year
terms. Diverseys license to use the housemark
JohnsonDiversey will expire on the earlier of its
transition to the Diversey name in the relevant
region or August 2, 2012, and its license to use the
housemark Johnson Wax Professional expired on
May 2, 2010. If the BLA is terminated, Diversey may lose
the ability to sell specified SCJ products or to use SCJ brand
names and technology, which may have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows. Similarly, we or our licensors could lose
proprietary rights in the intellectual property that we license
in, and that may have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial position or results of operations.
We cannot be certain that we will be able to assert these
intellectual property rights successfully in the future or that
they will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged. Other
parties may infringe on our intellectual property rights and may
thereby dilute the value of our intellectual property in the
marketplace. Third parties, including competitors, may assert
intellectual property infringement or invalidity claims against
us that could be upheld. Intellectual property litigation, which
could result in substantial cost to and diversion of effort by
us, may be necessary to protect our trade secrets or proprietary
technology or for us to defend against claimed infringement of
the rights of others and to determine the scope and validity of
others
22
proprietary rights. We may not prevail in any such litigation,
and if we are unsuccessful, we may not be able to obtain any
necessary licenses on reasonable terms or at all.
Any failure by us to protect our trademarks and other
intellectual property rights may have a material adverse effect
on our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
The
relocation of manufacturing capability from Diverseys
primary U.S. manufacturing facility could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Diversey manufactures a significant portion of the products it
sells. The lease from SCJ of Diverseys Waxdale
manufacturing facility in Sturtevant, Wisconsin will expire on
May 31, 2013, and we do not plan to renew this lease after
expiration. Diversey has made arrangements to relocate its
manufacturing capability by moving some production to its other
locations in North America, and by pursuing contract
manufacturing for a portion of its product lines. The timeline
to transition out of Waxdale is not certain, but is expected to
be largely completed during the first half of 2012. This
relocation may pose significant risks, which could include:
|
|
|
|
|
the risk that we may be unable to integrate successfully the
relocated manufacturing operations;
|
|
|
|
the risk that we may be unable to coordinate management and
integrate and retain employees of the relocated manufacturing
operations;
|
|
|
|
the risk that we may not be able to obtain contract
manufacturing on favorable terms or at all;
|
|
|
|
the risk that we may face difficulties in implementing and
maintaining consistent standards, controls, procedures, policies
and information systems;
|
|
|
|
the risk that we may fail to realize anticipated synergies,
economies of scale or other anticipated benefits, or to maintain
operating margins;
|
|
|
|
potential strains on our personnel, systems and resources, and
diversion of attention from other priorities; and
|
|
|
|
any unforeseen or contingent liabilities of the relocated
manufacturing operations.
|
We may
not achieve growth through acquisitions.
As part of our business strategy, we may from time to time
pursue acquisitions of companies that we believe are strategic
to our business. There can be no assurance that we will be able
to identify attractive acquisition targets, negotiate
satisfactory terms for acquisitions or obtain necessary
financing for acquisitions. Further, acquisitions involve risks,
including that acquired businesses will not perform in
accordance with expectations, that we will not realize the
operating efficiencies expected from acquisitions and that
business judgments concerning the value, strengths and
weaknesses of companies we acquire will prove to have been
incorrect. If we fail to complete acquisitions, if we acquire
companies but are not able to successfully integrate them with
our business or if we do not otherwise realize the anticipated
financial and strategic goals for our acquisitions, our business
and results of operations may be adversely affected. In
addition, future acquisitions may result in the incurrence of
debt, and contingent liabilities and an increase in interest
expense, amortization expenses and significant charges relating
to integration costs.
Risks
related to the Acquisition
The
combination of our business with the Diversey business will
require significant management attention and we may incur
significant integration and transaction costs because of
integration difficulties and other challenges.
Following the completion of the Acquisition, we will integrate
the Diversey business with our existing business. The combined
company will be required to devote significant management
attention and resources to integrating the two businesses. Our
failure to meet the challenges involved in successfully
completing the
23
integration of our operations could adversely affect our results
of operations. Challenges involved in this integration include:
|
|
|
|
|
integrating successfully each companys operations; and
|
|
|
|
combining corporate cultures, maintaining employee morale and
retaining key employees.
|
We may not successfully complete the integration of our
operations in a timely manner and may have difficulty
integrating the Diversey business. We may experience disruptions
in relationships with current and new employees, customers and
suppliers.
We expect to incur a number of non-recurring costs associated
with combining the operations of the two companies. In addition,
we will incur significant legal, accounting and transaction fees
and other costs related to the Acquisition. Some of these may be
higher than anticipated. We may also incur unanticipated costs,
including to maintain employee morale, retain key employees and
successfully integrate the Diversey business.
We
have made certain assumptions relating to the Acquisition in our
forecasts that may prove to be
materially inaccurate.
We have made certain assumptions relating to the forecast level
of cost savings, synergies and associated costs of the
Acquisition. Our assumptions relating to the forecast level of
cost savings, synergies and associated costs of the Acquisition
may be inaccurate based on the information available to us,
including as the result of the failure to realize the expected
benefits of the Acquisition, higher than expected transaction
and integration costs and unknown liabilities as well as general
economic and business conditions that may adversely affect the
combined company following the completion of the Acquisition.
Our
pro forma combined financial information is not necessarily
representative of the results we would have achieved as a
combined company with the Diversey business and may not be a
reliable indicator for future results.
The pro forma combined financial information included in this
offering memorandum does not reflect the financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows we would have achieved as a
combined company with the Diversey business during the periods
presented or those we will achieve in the future.
Although the pro forma combined financial information shows the
effects of the Acquisition on our consolidated financial
statements, this pro forma combined financial information is
based on numerous assumptions that may prove to be inaccurate.
In addition, our financial results after the closing of the
Acquisition will not be comparable to our historical financial
information for several reasons. For example, we will have
substantially greater interest expense due to the borrowings
incurred in connection with the Acquisition. In addition,
Diverseys assets and liabilities will be re-measured to
fair value in connection with the Acquisition, which will result
in greater depreciation and amortization expense. We expect that
the accounting for the Acquisition and the related transactions
will have a significant impact on our reported results of
operations and financial condition. See Unaudited Pro
Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.
The
acquisition method of accounting adjustments following the
consummation of the Acquisition may have a material effect on
our future financial results that is not reflected in our
unaudited pro forma combined financial
information.
Our allocation of the purchase price in the Acquisition for
acquisition accounting purposes is pending completion of several
steps, including the finalization of an independent appraisal
and valuations of fair value of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed. The acquisition accounting is dependent
upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to
commence or progress to a stage where there is sufficient
information for a definitive measurement. The primary areas of
the allocation of the purchase price that are not yet completed
relate to the fair value of certain tangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed, the valuation of intangible assets
acquired, the determination of equity consideration related to
the replacement value of Diverseys unvested stock options,
income and non-income based taxes and goodwill. For purposes of
the unaudited pro
24
forma combined financial information included in this offering
memorandum, we have assumed that the fair value of assets
acquired, except goodwill, and liabilities assumed equated to
their respective reported carrying values as of June 30,
2011, except for the fair value of the Diversey Notes, which
were publicly available. The excess of the purchase price over
the fair value of net assets acquired has been allocated to
goodwill. The final determination of the purchase price
allocation following the consummation of the Acquisition will be
based on the established fair value of the assets acquired, and
the liabilities assumed, and will likely differ significantly
from the assumptions used for purposes of the pro forma combined
financial information included in this offering memorandum.
Accordingly, there will be material adjustments to the
allocation of the purchase price and to depreciation and
amortization expense related to the valuation of intangible
assets acquired and their respective useful lives and the
replacement value of equity consideration related to the
replacement value of Diverseys unvested stock options,
among other adjustments. All of these could have a material
impact on our future consolidated financial position or results
of operations, including but not limited to increased
depreciation and amortization and other non-cash charges.
The
closing of the Acquisition may trigger change of control
provisions in certain agreements to which Diversey is a
party.
The closing of the Acquisition may trigger change of control
provisions in certain agreements to which Diversey is a party.
If we are unable to negotiate waivers of those provisions, the
counterparties may exercise their rights and remedies under
these agreements, including terminating these agreements or
seeking monetary damages.

The pro forma cash balance reflects the use of
$135.7 million of cash on hand in connection with the
Transactions and $71.7 million of cash on hand at Diversey.
Not reflected in the pro forma cash balance is an additional
cash outlay of approximately $250.0 million that we expect to
use temporarily to effect the defeasance of the Diversey Notes
at the closing of the Acquisition. We expect to meet this
additional temporary funding requirement from cash on hand or by
borrowing under our new Revolving Credit Facility. Following the
Acquisition, we expect to redeem the Diversey Notes, and any
funds used to defease a portion of the Diversey Notes to their
stated maturity would then be returned to us and used to pay
down the initial borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility,
if necessary. We currently expect that all Diversey Notes will
be redeemed within 60 days following the Acquisition. |

THE
ACQUISITION AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On May 31, 2011, the Company, Diversey Holdings, Inc. and
Solution Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sealed
Air Corporation, entered into the Acquisition Agreement pursuant
to which the parties agreed to the Acquisition, subject to the
terms and conditions therein.
Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, at the effective
time of the Acquisition, Diversey Holdings, Inc.s
shareholders will receive approximately $2.1 billion in
cash (subject to certain adjustments) and an aggregate of
31.7 million shares of the Companys common stock
(valued at $23.79 per share based on the closing price of the
Companys common stock on June 30, 2011) for a
total estimated equity consideration of $3.0 billion. This
estimated equity consideration also includes the value of stock
appreciation rights that will be granted to Diversey employees
in connection with the rollover of equity incentive awards that
were not vested as of the execution of the Acquisition
Agreement. Following the closing of the Acquisition, Diversey
Holdings, Inc.s shareholders are expected to own
approximately 15% of the Companys common stock (calculated
on a pro forma combined weighted-average diluted common share
basis).
The Acquisition Agreement contains certain seller
representations and warranties of Diversey Holdings, Inc.,
certain buyer representations and warranties of the Company and
Solution Acquisition Corp., and certain covenants and other
agreements between Diversey Holdings, Inc., on the one hand, and
the Company, on the other hand.
Each of the Company and Diversey Holdings, Inc. has agreed to
use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken,
all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things
necessary, proper and advisable under applicable law to
consummate and make effective all transactions contemplated by
the Acquisition Agreement, including with respect to obtaining
the necessary consents, approvals and authorizations from
governmental authorities.
The obligations of the Company and Diversey Holdings, Inc. to
complete the Acquisition are subject to the satisfaction or
waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Acquisition
Agreement. These conditions include the absence of any
injunction, judgment or order or any statute, law or regulation
prohibiting or rendering illegal the Acquisition, and the
expiration or termination of any waiting period, or the receipt
of any required consents, clearances or approvals, under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder (the HSR
Act), the Council Regulation (EC) No. 139/2004 of
20 January 2004 on the control of concentrations between
undertakings, as amended, and the implementing regulation
promulgated pursuant thereto (the EU Merger
Regulation) and the competition laws of the Peoples
Republic of China and certain other jurisdictions. On
June 17, 2011, the Company and Diversey Holdings, Inc. made
the required filings under the HSR Act with the Federal Trade
Commission and the Antitrust Division of the
U.S. Department of Justice, and early termination of the
applicable waiting period was granted on June 24, 2011. On
June 30, 2011, the Company and Diversey Holdings, Inc. made
the required EU Merger Regulation filing with the European
Commission. The European Commission granted clearance under the
EU Merger Regulation to the Acquisition on August 2, 2011.
On August 1, 2011, the Company and Diversey Holdings, Inc.
made the required filing under the Anti-Monopoly Law of the
Peoples Republic of China with the Ministry of Commerce of
the Peoples Republic of China.
In addition, conditions to the obligation of the Company to
complete the Acquisition include the requirements that
(i) certain representations and warranties made by Diversey
Holdings, Inc. in the Acquisition Agreement be true and correct
as of the effective time of the Acquisition, except, in the case
of certain of those representations and warranties, where the
failure to be so true and correct, individually and in the
aggregate, does not have a material adverse effect on Diversey
Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and
(ii) Diversey Holdings, Inc. shall have performed and
complied with, in all material respects, all of its agreements,
covenants and obligations under the Acquisition Agreement.
Conditions to the obligation of Diversey Holdings, Inc. to
complete the Acquisition include the requirements that
(i) certain representations and warranties made by the
Company and Solution Acquisition Corp. in the Acquisition
Agreement be true and correct as of the effective time of the
Acquisition, except, in the case of certain of those
representations and warranties, where the failure to be so true
and correct, individually and in the aggregate, does not have a
material adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, and (ii) the Company and
27
Solution Acquisition Corp. shall have performed and complied
with, in all material respects, all of their agreements,
covenants and obligations under the Acquisition Agreement.
The Acquisition Agreement may be terminated under certain
circumstances. If the Acquisition is not consummated on or
before December 31, 2011 (the Outside Date),
either party may terminate the Acquisition Agreement or, in
certain circumstances, extend the Outside Date to March 31,
2012 (unless the failure to complete the Acquisition by the
Outside Date is the result of the failure of the party seeking
to exercise such termination or extension right to perform or
observe any of the covenants or agreements of such party as set
forth in the Acquisition Agreement). The Company has agreed to
pay Diversey Holdings, Inc. a termination fee of
$160.0 million in cash if the Acquisition Agreement is
terminated under certain circumstances set forth in the
Acquisition Agreement.

senior secured credit facilities (the senior secured

replace our global credit facility and our European Credit
Facility. For a more detailed description of the senior secured
credit facilities, see Description of Other
Indebtedness. The closings of the borrowings under the
senior secured credit facilities and the offering of the notes
are conditioned upon the closing of the Acquisition.
In connection with the Acquisition, we intend to repay
substantially all of Diverseys existing indebtedness,
including (i) all indebtedness outstanding under the credit

UNAUDITED
PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We present the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
information below for informational purposes only. Such
information is preliminary and based on currently available
information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable.
We have prepared the following unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial statements:
|
|
|
|
|
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of
June 30, 2011;
|
|
|
|
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations
for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011;
|
|
|
|
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations
for the six months ended June 30, 2011;
|
|
|
|
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations
for the year ended December 31, 2010; and
|
|
|
|
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations
for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
|
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of
June 30, 2011 is presented as if the Transactions had
occurred on June 30, 2011. The unaudited pro forma
condensed combined statements of operations are presented as if
the Transactions had occurred on January 1, 2010. The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations
for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 has been derived
by taking the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement
of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011,
adding the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 and
subtracting the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement
of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
The historical consolidated financial information has been
adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
statements to give effect to pro forma events that are
(1) directly attributable to the Transactions,
(2) factually supportable and (3) with respect to the
statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact
on the combined financial results. The unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial information should be read in
conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro
forma condensed combined financial statements. In addition, the
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was
based on and should be read in conjunction with the:
|
|
|
|
|
separate audited historical consolidated financial statements of
Sealed Air as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010
and the related notes included in this offering memorandum;
|
|
|
|
separate unaudited historical consolidated financial statements
of Sealed Air as of and for the six month periods ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010 and the related notes included in
this offering memorandum;
|
|
|
|
separate audited historical consolidated financial statements of
Diversey as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 and
the related notes included in this offering memorandum; and
|
|
|
|
separate unaudited historical consolidated financial statements
of Diversey as of and for the six months periods ended
July 1, 2011 and July 2, 2010 and the related notes
included in this offering memorandum.
|
All pro forma condensed combined financial statements use Sealed
Airs period-end date and no adjustments were made to
Diverseys reported information for its different
quarter-end date.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been
prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under
existing GAAP, which is subject to change and interpretation.
Sealed Air has been treated as the acquirer for accounting
purposes. The acquisition accounting related to this unaudited
pro forma information is dependent upon certain valuations and
other studies that have yet to commence or progress to a stage
where there is sufficient information for a definitive
measurement. The pro forma adjustments included
29
herein have been made solely for the purposes of providing
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
Differences between the estimates reflected in this unaudited
pro forma information and the final acquisition accounting will
likely occur, and these differences could have a material impact
on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial information and the combined companys future
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Our allocation of the purchase price is pending completion of
several elements mentioned above, including the finalization of
an independent appraisal and valuations of fair value of the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The primary areas of
the allocation of the purchase price that are not yet completed
relate to the fair value of certain tangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed, the valuation of intangible assets
acquired, the determination of equity consideration related to
the replacement value of Diverseys unvested stock options,
income and non-income based taxes and goodwill. Accordingly,
there will be material adjustments to the allocation of the
purchase price and to depreciation and amortization expense
related to the valuation of intangible assets acquired and their
respective useful lives and the replacement value of equity
consideration related to the replacement value of
Diverseys unvested stock options among other adjustments.
The final determination of the purchase price allocation will be
based on the established fair value of the assets acquired,
including the fair value of the identifiable intangible assets,
and the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. For
purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial statements, we have assumed that the fair value of
assets acquired, except goodwill, and liabilities assumed
equated to their respective reported carrying values as of
June 30, 2011, except for the fair value of the Diversey
Notes, which were publicly available. The excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of net assets acquired is allocated to
goodwill. Any increase to the purchase price allocated to
property, plant and equipment, net and identifiable intangible
assets will result in additional depreciation and amortization
expense after the consummation of the Acquisition. The final
determination of the purchase price, fair values and resulting
goodwill may differ significantly from what is reflected in
these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
statements.
The pro forma financial information is presented for
informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of
what our combined consolidated financial position or results of
operations actually would have been had we completed the
Acquisition at the dates indicated above. In addition, the
unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not
purport to project the future consolidated financial position or
results of operations of the combined company.
Also, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
information does not reflect any cost savings, operating
synergies or revenue enhancements that the combined company may
achieve as a result of the merger, the costs to integrate the
operations of Sealed Air and Diversey or the costs necessary to
achieve these costs savings, operating synergies or revenue
enhancements.
There were no material transactions between Sealed Air and
Diversey during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial statements that would need to be
eliminated.
30
Below is a summary of the estimated purchase price allocation of
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As mentioned above,
for purposes of this pro forma information we have assumed that
the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
equated to their respective reported carrying values as of
June 30, 2011, except for the fair value of the Diversey
Notes, which were publicly available.

Notes to
the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial
Statements
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial statements are based on the historical financial
information of Sealed Air and Diversey after giving effect to
the acquisition of Diversey by Sealed Air using the acquisition
method of accounting and applying the assumptions and
adjustments described in the accompanying notes.
Upon consummation of the Acquisition, Sealed Air will review
Diverseys accounting policies. As a result of that review,
it may become necessary to harmonize the combined entitys
financial statements to conform to those accounting policies
that are determined to be more appropriate for the combined
entity. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
statements do not assume any differences in accounting policies.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet
combines the historical results for Sealed Air and Diversey as
of June 30, 2011 and includes pro forma adjustments as if
the Transactions had occurred as of June 30, 2011. The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations
combine the historical results for Sealed Air and Diversey for
the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the
year ended December 31, 2010 and include pro forma
adjustments as if the Transactions had occurred as of
January 1, 2010. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended
June 30, 2011 has been derived by taking the historical
unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2011, adding the historical unaudited
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2010 and subtracting the historical unaudited
consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended
June 30, 2010, and then applying pro forma adjustments to
give effect to the Transactions. See The Acquisition and
Related Transactions for information about the terms of
the Acquisition Agreement and related transactions. All amounts
are approximate due to rounding and all amounts in tables are in
millions.

Included in our senior secured credit facilities will be a
$700.0 million equivalent Revolving Facility. The senior
secured credit facilities will replace our global credit
facility and our European Credit Facility. For a more detailed
description of the senior secured credit facilities, see
Description of Other Indebtedness. Sealed Air may
use cash on hand or borrow up to approximately
$250.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility to
effect the defeasance of the Diversey Notes. Upon the redemption
of the Diversey Notes, any funds used to defease a portion of
the Diversey Notes to their stated maturity would be returned to
Sealed Air and used to pay down the initial borrowing under the
Revolving Credit Facility, if necessary. We currently expect
that all Diversey Notes will be redeemed within 60 days
following the Acquisition. |
(2) |
|
Amount shown does not reflect original issue discount. |
(H) Estimated replacement value of unvested Diversey
stock options. Upon closing of the Acquisition, Sealed Air will
assume each unvested Diversey stock option, which will be
converted automatically into cash-settled stock appreciation
rights covering a number of shares of Sealed Air common stock. A
portion of the value of the assumed unvested Diversey stock
options is related to services rendered by Diversey employees
prior to the Acquisition and the remaining portion of the value
relates to services to be rendered by these employees post
Acquisition. We have not yet completed the process of
determining the portion of the value of these unvested options
that relates to pre Acquisition or post Acquisition service and
therefore, once this process is finalized, there could be a
material difference in the pro forma adjustment. Only the amount
relating to service prior to the Acquisition would be included
as consideration and the remaining value will be expensed in
future periods after consummation of the Acquisition.

Statements
of Operations Adjustments
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of
operations include preliminary adjustments that are expected to
have a continuing impact on the combined companys
consolidated financial results and do not reflect any one-time
charges that we may record on or following the closing of the
Acquisition.
The most significant areas of the preliminary allocation of the
purchase price that are not yet completed include the valuation
of intangible assets acquired and the determination of equity
consideration related to the replacement value of
Diverseys unvested stock options, income and non-income
based taxes and goodwill. Accordingly, there will be material
adjustments to depreciation and amortization expense on the
combined statement of operations for the related intangibles
amortization expense and share-based compensation expense. In
addition, any increase to the purchase price allocated to
property, plant and equipment, net and identifiable intangible
assets will result in additional depreciation and amortization
expense after the consummation of the Acquisition. In addition,
write-ups to acquired inventories may result in increased costs
of sales, which in turn would reduce gross profit in the first
full quarter following the consummation of the Acquisition.
(K) To reflect the elimination of expenses incurred
as of June 30, 2011 in connection with the Acquisition that
will not have a continuing impact on the statement of operations.

This adjustment reflects an estimate of the tax impacts of the
Acquisition on the pro forma condensed combined statements of
operations, primarily related to the additional expense on
incremental debt to finance the Acquisition. We did not take
into account any possible changes in valuation allowance
assumptions as a result of the Acquisition or other possible
reorganization transactions. Although not reflected in these
unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the
effective tax rate of the combined company could be
significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on
post-Acquisition activities, including repatriation decisions,
cash needs, as well as the geographical mix of income.

SEALED
AIR PRO FORMA LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Following the closing of the Acquisition, our principal sources
of liquidity will be our cash flows from operations, accumulated
cash amounts available under the new senior secured credit
facilities, which are described below, and our accounts
receivable securitization program.
We believe that our pro forma liquidity position and future cash
flows from operations will enable us to fund our operations, and
the cash payment under the Settlement agreement should it become
payable within the next 12 months.
After the consummation of the Transactions, we will be highly
leveraged. As of June 30, 2011, on a pro forma combined
basis after giving effect to the Transactions, our total debt
would have been approximately $5.2 billion, and we would
have had unused commitments of $687 million under our
senior secured credit facilities (after giving effect to
$13 million of outstanding letters of credit). In addition,
we would have had $91 million available to us under our
accounts receivable securitization program. Our liquidity
requirements will be significant, primarily due to our debt
service and other obligations. On a pro forma combined basis
after giving effect to the Transactions, our interest expense
for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011 would have been
approximately $404 million.
In addition, our liquidity and ability to fund our capital
requirements are dependent on our future financial performance,
which is subject to general economic, financial and other
factors that are beyond our control. If those factors
significantly change or other unexpected factors adversely
affect us, our business may not generate sufficient cash flows
from operations or we may not be able to obtain future
financings to meet our liquidity needs. We anticipate that to
the extent additional liquidity is necessary to fund our
operations, it would be funded through borrowings under our new
senior secured credit facilities, the incurrence of other
indebtedness, additional equity issuances or a combination of
these potential sources of liquidity. In connection with the
defeasance of the Diversey Notes at the closing of the
Acquisition, we may temporarily borrow approximately
$250 million under the new Revolving Credit Facility. See
Use of Proceeds. We may not be able to obtain
additional liquidity when needed on terms acceptable to us.
As market conditions warrant, we may from time to time
repurchase debt securities issued by us, in privately negotiated
or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise.
New
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
Overview
In connection with the Acquisition, we will enter into the
senior secured credit facilities with a syndicate of banks,
financial institutions and other entities, including Citigroup
Global Markets Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner &
Smith Incorporated, BNP Paribas Securities Corp. and RBS
Securities Inc., as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunning
managers, and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent. The
senior secured credit facilities will consist of:
|
|
|
|
|
a $700.0 million U.S. dollar equivalent Revolving
Facility with a five-year maturity, $500.0 million of which
will be available in U.S. dollars only and a $200.0 million
U.S. dollar equivalent, which will be available in
U.S. dollars, Australian dollars, Canadian dollars and
euros;
|
|
|
|
a $1,100.0 million U.S. dollar equivalent Term A
Facility with a five-year maturity (which will include a
$900.0 million U.S. dollar-denominated subfacility, a
$60.0 million U.S. dollar equivalent Canadian
dollar-denominated subfacility and a $140.0 million
U.S. dollar equivalent Japanese yen-denominated
subfacility; the amount of the Canadian dollar-denominated
subfacility and the Japanese yen-denominated subfacility may be
increased to $150.0 million U.S. dollar equivalent and
$80.0 million U.S. dollar equivalent, respectively, with a
corresponding reduction to the U.S. dollar-denominated
subfacility); and
|
|
|
|
a $1,200.0 million U.S. dollar equivalent Term B
Facility with a seven-year maturity (which will include a
$925.0 million U.S. dollar-denominated subfacility and
a $275.0 million U.S. dollar equivalent
euro-denominated subfacility).
|
41
The Revolving Facility will include borrowing capacity available
for letters of credit and for short-term borrowings referred to
as swing-line borrowings. In addition, we will have the option
to increase the amount available under the Term A Facility, the
Term B Facility and the Revolving Facility by an aggregate of
$500.0 million on an uncommitted basis, which amount may be
increased to $1,000.0 million (subject to the satisfaction
of a specified leverage ratio).
Interest
Rate and Fees
Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities will bear
interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (a)
(1) in the case of borrowings denominated in dollars or a
currency other than the euro, LIBOR for deposits in the
applicable currency and (2) in the case of borrowings
denominated in euros, EURIBOR for deposits in euros, and
(b) the higher of (1) the prime rate of Citibank,
N.A., (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% per
annum and (3) a rate equal to LIBOR or EURIBOR, as
applicable, plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, an applicable
margin. We expect the initial applicable margin for borrowings
will be, (x) under the Term A Facility and the Revolving
Facility, 2.50% per annum with respect to eurocurrency rate
advances and 1.50% per annum with respect to base rate advances,
(y) under the Term B Facility funded in U.S. dollars,
4.00% per annum with respect to eurocurrency rate advances and
3.00% per annum with respect to base rate advances and
(z) under the Term B Facility funded in euros, 4.50%
per annum with respect to euro currency rate advances and 3.50%
per annum with respect to base rate advances. After the date on
which we deliver to the administrative agent financial
statements for the first full fiscal quarter commencing after
the closing date, the applicable margin for borrowings
under the Term A Facility and the Revolving Facility may be
reduced subject to our attaining certain leverage ratios.
In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal amounts
under the senior secured credit facilities, we will be required
to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the Revolving
Facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder.
The initial commitment fee rate is 0.50% per annum. The
commitment fee rate may be reduced to 0.375% per annum, subject
to our attaining a certain leverage ratio. We will also be
required to pay customary letter of credit fees.
Prepayments
The senior secured credit facilities will require us to prepay
outstanding term loans, subject to certain exceptions, with:
|
|
|
|
|
50% (which percentage will be subject to step-downs based on our
attaining certain leverage ratios) of our annual excess cash
flow;
|
|
|
|
100% of the net cash proceeds received by the Company or any of
its restricted subsidiaries from all non-ordinary course asset
sales or other dispositions of property of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries (including insurance and condemnation proceeds,
in each case, subject to a de minimis threshold), if we do not
reinvest such net cash proceeds in the business of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries within the earlier of
(i) 12 months following the receipt of such net cash
proceeds and (ii), if the Company or such restricted subsidiary
has committed to reinvest such proceeds within 12 months of
the receipt thereof, within 18 months following the receipt
of such net cash proceeds; and
|
|
|
|
100% of the net proceeds of any issuance or incurrence of any
indebtedness of the Company or any of its restricted
subsidiaries, other than permitted indebtedness under the senior
secured credit facilities, provided that any permitted
receivables financing indebtedness in excess of
$150 million must prepay the term loans.
|
If the aggregate amount of loans outstanding under the Revolving
Facility exceeds 105% of the aggregate revolving credit
commitments of the Revolving Facility lenders at any time, we
will be required to repay outstanding loans in an aggregate
amount sufficient to reduce the aggregate amount of loans
outstanding under the Revolving Facility to an amount not to
exceed 100% of the aggregate revolving credit commitments of the
Revolving Facility lenders at such time.
42
In the event that, prior to the first anniversary of the closing
date of the senior secured credit facilities, all or any portion
of the Term B Facility is refinanced (including by way of
amendment) with the proceeds of bank loans or credit facilities
incurred for the primary purpose of obtaining a lower applicable
margin or yield than that applicable to the Term B Facility, we
will be required to make such prepayment at 101% of the
principal amount prepaid.
We may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the senior
secured credit facilities at any time without premium or
penalty, other than customary breakage costs. In
addition, we may voluntarily repay outstanding term loans at a
discount to par pursuant to one or more lender auctions.
The foregoing mandatory prepayments will be applied to the next
eight scheduled installments of the Term A Facility and the Term
B Facility on a pro rata basis and thereafter to reduce the
scheduled installments of the Term A Facility and the Term B
Facility on a pro rata basis.
The foregoing voluntary prepayments will be applied to the Term
A Facility and the Term B Facility as directed by the Company.
Amortization
The respective borrower under the applicable subfacility of the
Term A Facility is required to repay advances under such
subfacility as follows (repayments are shown as percentages of
the original principal amount of the applicable subfacility):

Guarantee
and Security
All obligations under the credit agreement governing our senior
secured credit facilities will be unconditionally guaranteed by
each of the domestic guarantors and, subject to certain
exceptions, each of our material future domestic restricted
subsidiaries.
All obligations under the senior secured credit facilities, and
the domestic guarantees of those obligations, will be secured by
a security interest in substantially all tangible and intangible
assets of the Company and each domestic guarantor, subject to
certain customary and other agreed exceptions.
In addition, the obligations of the foreign borrowers under the
senior secured credit agreement will be guaranteed by, and
secured by certain assets of, subsidiaries of the Company,
including subsidiaries organized in Australia, Brazil, Canada,
Germany, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands and the
United Kingdom, and, subject to certain exceptions, each of our
material future whollyowned restricted subsidiaries in
such jurisdictions.
Certain
Covenants and Events of Default
The senior secured credit facilities will contain a number of
covenants that, among other things, will restrict, subject to
certain exceptions, our and our restricted subsidiaries
ability to:
|
|
|
|
|
incur additional indebtedness;
|
|
|
|
create liens;
|
|
|
|
enter into sale and leaseback transactions;
|
|
|
|
engage in mergers or consolidations;
|
|
|
|
sell or transfer assets;
|
|
|
|
pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our capital stock;
|
|
|
|
make investments, loans or advances;
|
|
|
|
enter into certain transactions with our affiliates;
|
|
|
|
change the nature of our business;
|
|
|
|
repurchase or redeem the notes offered hereby;
|
|
|
|
enter into speculative hedging arrangements;
|
|
|
|
amend certain documents; and
|
|
|
|
enter into negative pledge clauses.
|
In addition, the senior secured credit facilities will require
us to maintain a specified net leverage ratio.
The senior secured credit facilities will also contain certain
customary affirmative covenants and events of default, including
upon the occurrence of a change of control.
Notes
Offered Hereby
The indenture governing the notes being offered hereby will
limit our (and most or all of our subsidiaries) ability to:
|
|
|
|
|
incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares;
|
|
|
|
pay dividends on or make other distributions or repurchase our
capital stock;
|
|
|
|
make certain investments;
|
|
|
|
enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates;
|
44
|
|
|
|
|
create liens or encumbrances; and
|
|
|
|
sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies.
|
Subject to certain exceptions, the indenture governing the notes
will permit us and our restricted subsidiaries to incur
additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness. For a
more detailed description of the terms of the notes, see
Description of Notes.
Existing
Indebtedness
Our current global credit facility and European Credit Facility
will be refinanced with proceeds from the proposed financing in
connection with the Acquisition. Following the completion of the
Acquisition, in addition to borrowings under the senior secured
credit facilities, we will continue to have access to funds
under our accounts receivable securitization program. For a
description of our existing indebtedness, see Description
of Other Indebtedness.
Debt
Ratings
Our cost of capital and ability to obtain external financing may
be affected by our debt ratings, which the rating agencies
review periodically. The Companys corporate credit rating
is currently rated BB+ by Standard & Poors. This
rating is considered non-investment grade. The Companys
corporate credit rating is currently rated Baa3 by Moodys.
This rating is considered investment grade.
As a result of the Acquisition, S&P has announced it
expects to lower the corporate credit rating on Sealed Air to BB
from BB+ and to remove the ratings from CreditWatch. The current
CreditWatch placement reflects the likelihood that S&P will
lower its ratings of the Company and our long-term senior
unsecured debt because of the resulting increase in debt
leverage as a result of the Acquisition.
Moodys also announced that it anticipates downgrading our
Baa3 senior unsecured rating and assigning a Ba3 corporate
family rating if the Acquisition closes as proposed. A Ba3
rating is considered non-investment grade.
If our credit ratings are downgraded, there could be a negative
impact on our ability to access the capital markets and our
borrowing costs could increase. A credit rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be
subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating
organization. Each rating should be evaluated independently of
any other rating.
Material
Commitments and Contingencies
Settlement
agreement and Related Costs
We recorded a pre-tax charge of $850 million in 2002, of
which $513 million represents a cash payment that we are
required to make (subject to the satisfaction of the terms and
conditions of the Settlement agreement) upon the effectiveness
of a plan of reorganization in the bankruptcy of Grace. We did
not use cash in any period with respect to this liability.
We currently expect to fund a substantial portion of this
payment when it becomes due by using accumulated cash and cash
equivalents with the remainder from our new Revolving Credit
Facility. The cash payment of $513 million in respect of
the Settlement amount accrues interest at a 5.5% annual rate,
which is compounded annually, from December 21, 2002 to the
date of payment. This accrued interest was $297 million at
June 30, 2011 and is recorded in Settlement agreement and
related accrued interest on our consolidated balance sheet. The
total liability on our consolidated balance sheet was
$810 million at June 30, 2011. In addition, the
Settlement agreement provides for the issuance of
18 million shares of our common stock. Since the impact of
issuing these shares is dilutive, they have been included in our
calculation of diluted net earnings per common share under GAAP.
We have recorded deferred tax assets to reflect expected future
tax benefits from the payment under the Settlement agreement.
These deferred tax assets reflect the cash portion of the
Settlement agreement and
45
related accrued interest and the fair market value of the
18 million shares of our common stock at a post-split price
of $17.86 per share, which was the price when the Settlement
agreement was reached in 2002. As of June 30, 2011, the
recorded value of this deferred tax asset was $370 million.
The actual amount and timing of these future tax benefits could
vary, depending on the amount of cash paid by us and various
facts and circumstances at the time of payment under the
Settlement agreement, including the price of our common stock,
our future operating results, our tax position and the
applicable tax codes. Any changes in the tax benefits resulting
from an increase in our stock price in excess of the
$17.86 share price mentioned above will not have an impact
on our net earnings.
Additionally we may incur an approximate one percentage point
increase in our effective income tax rate during the calendar
year in which we make the payment under the Settlement
agreement. We anticipate that funding the Settlement agreement
will result in a loss for U.S. income tax purposes, and
this loss will eliminate some tax benefits for that year,
primarily the domestic manufacturing deduction.
While the Bankruptcy Court has confirmed the PI Settlement Plan
and the District Court has held hearings to consider oral
arguments relating to appeals of the Memorandum Opinion and the
Confirmation Order, additional proceedings may be held before
the District Court or other courts to consider matters related
to the PI Settlement Plan. Various parties have appealed or have
otherwise challenged the Memorandum Opinion and the Confirmation
Order, and the PI Settlement Plan may be subject to further
appeal or challenge before the District Court or other courts.
The appealing parties have designated various issues to be
considered on appeal, including, without limitation, issues
relating to releases and injunctions contained in the PI
Settlement Plan. We will continue to review the Grace bankruptcy
proceedings (including appeals and other proceedings relating to
the Memorandum Opinion, the Confirmation Order, or the PI
Settlement Plan), as well as any amendments or changes to the
Memorandum Opinion, the Confirmation Order, or the PI Settlement
Plan, to verify compliance with the Settlement agreement. We do
not know whether or when a final plan of reorganization will
become effective or whether the final plan will be consistent
with the terms of the Settlement agreement.
For a further discussion of the commitments and contingencies
related to the Settlement agreement, see Note 16 to our
2010 audited consolidated financial statements and Note 13
to our June 30, 2011 unaudited consolidated interim
financial statements.
Cryovac
Transaction Commitments and Contingencies
For a discussion of the commitments and contingencies related to
the Cryovac transaction, see Note 16 to our 2010 audited
consolidated financial statements and Note 13 to our
June 30, 2011 unaudited consolidated interim financial
statements.

These amounts include principal maturities (at face value) only
and include the principal maturities of the new senior secured
credit facilities (assuming no drawings under the new Revolving
Credit Facility) and the notes offered hereby. These amounts
also include our contractual obligations under capital leases of
$6.2 million in 2011, $1.2 million in
2012-2013
and $0.1 million in
2014-2015. |
|
(2) |
|
Includes interest payments required under our existing senior
notes issuances and includes interest payments required under
the new senior secured credit facilities and the notes offered
hereby. |
|
(3) |
|
This liability is reflected as a current liability due to the
uncertainty of the timing of payment. Interest accrues on this
amount at a rate of 5.5% per annum, compounded annually, until
it becomes due and payable. |
|
(4) |
|
On July 14, 2011, our Board of Directors declared a
quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per common share payable on
September 16, 2011 to stockholders of record at the close
of business on September 2, 2011. The estimated amount of
this dividend payment is $21 million based on
160 million shares of our common stock issued and
outstanding as of July 31, 2011. |
Current Portion of Long-Term Debt and Long-Term
Debt The debt shown in the above table
excludes unamortized bond discounts as of June 30, 2011 and
therefore represents the principal amount of the debt required
to be repaid in each period.
Operating Leases The contractual
operating lease obligations listed in the table above represent
estimated future minimum annual rental commitments primarily
under non-cancelable real and personal property leases as of
June 30, 2010.
Cash Portion of the Settlement
Agreement The Settlement agreement is
described more fully in Note 16 to our 2010 audited
consolidated financial statements and Note 14 to our
June 30, 2011 unaudited consolidated interim financial
statements.
Other Principal Contractual
Obligations Other principal contractual
obligations include agreements to purchase an estimated amount
of goods, including raw materials, or services, including
energy, in the normal course of business. These obligations are
enforceable and legally binding and specify all significant
terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased,
minimum or variable price provisions and the approximate timing
of the purchase.
47
Liability
for Unrecognized Tax Benefits
At December 31, 2010, we had liabilities for unrecognized
tax benefits and related interest of $11 million, which is
included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
At June 30, 2011, we could not reasonably estimate the
future period or periods of cash settlement of these
liabilities. See Note 13 to our June 30, 2011
unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for further
discussion.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have reviewed our off-balance sheet arrangements and have
determined that none of those arrangements has a material
current effect or is reasonably likely to have a material future
effect on our consolidated financial statements, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources.
Income
Tax Payments
We currently expect to pay between $100 million and
$115 million in income taxes in 2011, assuming we do not
make the Settlement agreement payment in 2011. If we were to
make the Settlement agreement payment in 2011, we would cease
making quarterly estimated U.S. federal tax payments, thus
significantly reducing our cash payments. This projection is
with respect to Sealed Air only, without giving effect to the
Acquisition and the other Transactions.
Contributions
to Defined Benefit Pension Plans
We maintain defined benefit pension plans for a limited number
of our U.S. employees and for some of our
non-U.S. employees.
We have made approximately $7 million of contributions in
the six months ended June 30, 2011, and we currently expect
employer contributions to be approximately $8 million in
the remainder of 2011.
Environmental
Matters
We are subject to loss contingencies resulting from
environmental laws and regulations, and we accrue for
anticipated costs associated with investigatory and remediation
efforts when an assessment has indicated that a loss is probable
and can be reasonably estimated. These accruals do not take into
account any discounting for the time value of money and are not
reduced by potential insurance recoveries, if any. We do not
believe that it is reasonably possible that the liability in
excess of the amounts that we have accrued for environmental
matters will be material to our consolidated statements of
operations, balance sheets or cash flows. We reassess
environmental liabilities whenever circumstances become better
defined or we can better estimate remediation efforts and their
costs. We evaluate these liabilities periodically based on
available information, including the progress of remedial
investigations at each site, the current status of discussions
with regulatory authorities regarding the methods and extent of
remediation and the apportionment of costs among potentially
responsible parties. As some of these issues are decided (the
outcomes of which are subject to uncertainties) or new sites are
assessed and costs can be reasonably estimated, we adjust the
recorded accruals, as necessary. We believe that these exposures
are not material to our consolidated financial position and
results of operations. We believe that we have adequately
reserved for all probable and estimable environmental exposures.
