On November 3, 2025, PPG Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) completed an offering of $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.375% Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”). The Notes were offered by the Company pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-270106) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 28, 2023 and the Prospectus included therein, as supplemented by a Prospectus Supplement dated October 30, 2025 and filed with the SEC on October 31, 2025.
The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 18, 2008 (the “Original Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture, dated as of March 18, 2008, between the Company and the Trustee (the “First Supplemental Indenture”), and a thirteenth supplemental indenture, dated as of November 3, 2025, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the First Supplemental Indenture and the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”). The Company may issue additional debt from time to time pursuant to the Original Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants applicable to the Notes that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur certain liens securing indebtedness, engage in certain consolidations, mergers, conveyances, transfers or leases of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. The terms of the Notes also require the Company to make an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture) at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes for general corporate purposes, which may include, without limitation, repayment of our existing indebtedness, working capital, capital expenditures, investments in or loans to our subsidiaries or joint ventures or funding possible acquisitions.
The foregoing is a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Indenture and the Notes. Accordingly, the foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of (i) the Original Indenture, which is set forth in its entirety and filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 18, 2008, (ii) the First Supplemental Indenture, which is set forth in its entirety and filed as Exhibit 4.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 18, 2008, (iii) the Thirteenth Supplemental Indenture, which is set forth in its entirety and filed as Exhibit 4.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and (iii) the form of the Notes, which is filed as Exhibit 4.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
