Harsco Corporation (NYSE:HSC) Files An 8-K Regulation FD Disclosure
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 10, 2019, Harsco Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it has commenced a private offering (the “Private Offering”) of $500 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2027 (the “Notes”). The Company also announced that it is seeking, concurrently with the Private Offering, to amend the credit agreement governing its senior secured credit facility that would, among other things, (i) increase its revolving credit facility by $200 million, (ii) extend the maturity of its revolving credit facility to June 2024, (iii) reduce the interest rate margins and commitment fees applicable to its revolving credit loans, and (iv) adjust certain covenants (the “Amendment”). The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete either the Private Offering or the Amendment on terms and conditions favorable to it or at all, and the Company may decide to not pursue either or both of the Private Offering and the Amendment before completion. The Private Offering is being made in connection with the Company’s previously announced acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of CEHI Acquisition Corporation (“Clean Earth”). The consummation of the Private Offering is conditioned on the contemporaneous closing of the Acquisition.

In connection with the proposed Private Offering, the Company provided potential investors with a preliminary offering circular, dated June 10, 2019 (the “Preliminary Offering Circular”).

This information is included in Exhibits 99.2, 99.3, 99.4 and 99.5 attached hereto, respectively.

The information in Item 7.01 on this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3, 99.4 and 99.5 attached hereto is being furnished to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall any such information or exhibits be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The information filed in this Form 8-K to Item 7.01, including the information contained in Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3, 99.4 and 99.5 is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Notes in the Private Offering.
