Clifford Chance has advised on the issuance of US$425 million senior notes by Sealed Air Corporation and a related tender offer for its US$425 million 5.25% senior notes due 2023.

The notes, offered to institutional investors pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S, bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.000% and mature in 2029. Sealed Air used the net proceeds of this offering to repurchase and discharge its 5.25% senior notes due 2023.
