Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On May 21, 2019, Service Corporation International (the “Company”) issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”), pursuant to the indenture dated as of February 1, 1993 between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor to The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Indenture”), as supplemented by the Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 21, 2019 between the Company, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as original trustee and BOKF, NA, as series trustee (the “Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture”). The Company will use net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, to repurchase its $425 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes due 2022 pursuant to the Company’s previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation, repay outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility, and pay related fees and expenses.

On May 21, 2019, the Company exercised its early settlement option for the previously announced tender off and consent solicitation (the “Tender Offer”). As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 20, 2019, the Company had received tenders for approximately $326 million in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 5.375% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Tender Notes”).

As part of the tender offer, the Company solicited consents from the holders of the Tender Notes for authorization to eliminate certain of the restrictive covenants contained in the indenture governing the Tender Notes (the “Proposed Amendments”). Adoption of the Proposed Amendments to the indenture required consents from holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Notes. The Company announced today that the requisite consents were received from holders of the Tender Notes in the consent solicitation and executed a Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 21, 2019, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture”) to implement the Proposed Amendments pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated May 7, 2019.

A copy of the Indenture, the Fifteenth Supplemental Indenture, the form of note representing the Notes, and the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture are attached as Exhibit 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
