Trade Date: | March 6, 2025 | ||||
Settlement Date: | March 14, 2025 (T+6) | ||||
We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made to investors on or about March 14, 2025, which will be the sixth Business Day following the date of pricing of the Notes (such settlement being referred to as T+6). Under Rule 15c6- 1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, trades in the secondary market are required to settle in one Business Day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes prior to one Business Day before their delivery will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially settle in T+6, to specify an alternative settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. | |||||
Purchasers of the Notes who wish to trade the Notes prior to one Business Day before their delivery should consult their advisors. | |||||
Distribution: | SEC Registered Offering | ||||
Net Proceeds: | We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering of the Notes will be approximately $1,782,000,000 after deducting the underwriting discount and before deducting other estimated fees and expenses of this offering. | ||||
Denominations: | $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof | ||||
Concurrent Offering: | Concurrently with this offering, Celanese US Holdings LLC is offering €750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.000% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “Concurrent Offering”). The Concurrent Offering is being made by means of a separate prospectus supplement and not by means of the prospectus supplement to which this pricing term sheet relates. This communication is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities being offered in the Concurrent Offering. The closing of this offering and the Concurrent Offering are not conditioned on each other. |
