Amendment Description On July 1, 2021, MSA Safety Incorporated (“MSA”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing, among other things, that (i) MSA had entered into a Third Amended and Restated Multi-Currency Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement dated July 1, 2021 (the “Prudential Note Agreement”) with PGIM, Inc. and the noteholders party thereto, and a Second Amended and Restated Master Note Facility dated as of July 1, 2021 (the “NYL Note Facility” and, together with the Prudential Note Agreement, the “Note Agreements”) with NYL Investors LLC and the noteholders party thereto, and (ii) MSA had issued $100 million of 2.69% Series C Senior Notes due July 1, 2036 (the “Series C Notes”) under the Prudential Note Agreement and $100 million of 2.69% Series A Senior Notes due July 1, 2036 (the “Series A Notes” and, together with the Series C Notes, the “Notes”) under the NYL Note Facility. Reference is made to the Original Form 8-K for a description of the Note Agreements and the Notes. In the Original Form 8-K, MSA stated that it intended to file copies of the Note Agreements as exhibits to an amendment to the Original Form 8-K. MSA is now filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Original Form 8-K (“Amendment No. 1”) solely to file the Note Agreements as exhibits. This Amendment No. 1 does not change any previously reported information or any disclosures contained in the Original Form 8-K.
