Allegion Announces Pricing of $600 Million of Senior Notes

Allegion plc (NYSE: ALLE) (“Allegion” or the “company”), a leading global provider of security products and solutions, today announced that it priced its previously announced offering by its subsidiary, Allegion US Holding Company Inc. (“Allegion US Holding”), of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.411% senior notes due 2032 (the “notes”). The offering is expected to close on June 22, 2022, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The notes will be guaranteed upon their issuance by Allegion.

Allegion intends to use all of the net proceeds from the senior notes offering, together with cash on hand and additional borrowings under its revolving credit facility, to finance the acquisition of Stanley Access Technologies LLC (“Access Technologies”) and assets related to the automatic entrance solutions business from Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. (NYSE: SWK), which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions (the “transaction”). In the event that the transaction does not close as contemplated, Allegion intends to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including repayment of outstanding indebtedness.

“Allegion is pleased to have obtained this financing ahead of our anticipated third-quarter closing of the Access Technologies business acquisition,” said Allegion Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Mike Wagnes. “We believe the Access Technologies business and the addition of its product lines into the Allegion family will create a strong value proposition and new growth opportunities for our company that enhance shareholder value.”
