Belden Announces Pricing of €200 Million Private Add-on Offering of 5.5% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2023

Belden Inc. (NYSE: BDC), a global leader in signal transmission solutions for mission critical applications, today announced the pricing of its previously announced private offering of €200 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.5% senior subordinated notes due 2023 at an issue price of 103.5% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. Belden expects this offering to close on November 25, 2014, subject to customary closing conditions. The notes will be guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by certain of Belden's current and future domestic subsidiaries that guarantee Belden's indebtedness under its revolving credit agreement and term loan credit agreement.

The notes are in addition to the €300 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.5% senior subordinated notes due 2023 issued by Belden on March 21, 2013 and will be issued under the same indenture. The new notes will have identical terms, other than issue date and issue price, and will constitute part of the same series as the existing notes.

Belden intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes and potential future acquisitions.
