&#147;Company&#148;) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended and restated on December&nbsp;26,&nbsp;2017, the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;), which provides for the acquisition of Signode Industrial Group Holdings (Bermuda) Ltd.
(&#147;Signode&#148;), a leading global provider of transit packaging systems and solutions, from the Carlyle Group and certain other sellers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
Company will pay an enterprise value of $3.91&nbsp;billion in cash, subject to adjustment. The Company has obtained debt financing commitments for the transaction from Citigroup Global Markets Inc. The financing commitments provide for an amendment
to the Company&#146;s existing senior secured credit agreement to permit the incurrence of up to $4.00&nbsp;billion of new term B loans under the Company&#146;s existing credit agreement. If an amendment is not obtained, the financing commitments
provide for new term A loans, new term B loans and new revolving credit commitments to repay in full all indebtedness, and terminate all commitments, under the existing credit agreement, in each case on substantially identical terms to the existing
credit agreement (as it would have been amended by the amendment had it been obtained). In either case, the borrowing of up to an additional $4.00&nbsp;billion of term loans would mature on the seventh anniversary of the closing date. The Company
expects to fund the balance of the purchase price through available cash on hand, additional borrowings under the Company&#146;s existing senior secured credit agreement or through other means and may seek alternative forms of financing in addition
to or in lieu of the financing commitments. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Merger Agreement contains, among other things, representations and warranties of the Company and Signode,
covenants, indemnities and termination rights. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The closing is subject to the fulfillment of various closing conditions, including, among others,
(i)&nbsp;receipt of approvals from antitrust regulators in certain jurisdictions; (ii)&nbsp;the absence of any restraint by any governmental authority; and (iii)&nbsp;accuracy of representations and warranties and compliance with covenants, subject
to agreed levels of materiality. The closing is not subject to a financing or funding condition and the Company has agreed to take all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate any impediment under competition law. The acquisition is expected to close
during the first quarter of 2018. However, given the number of jurisdictions in which antitrust approval is required, there is no assurance that the acquisition can be completed on that timeframe. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Merger Agreement permits the Company and Signode to terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including, among others, (i)&nbsp;by
mutual agreement of the Company and Signode; (ii)&nbsp;by either party if the other breaches any of its material obligations; (iii)&nbsp;by either party if any governmental authority restrains the transaction; and (iv)&nbsp;by either party upon
notice to the other after June&nbsp;19,&nbsp;2018. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and financing commitment does not purport to be

under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries
