WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

PerkinElmer, Inc. (NYSE: PKI), a global leader committed to innovating for a healthier world, announced today that it has priced an offering of €300 million aggregate principal amount of 0.600% Senior Notes due 2021 at an issue price of 99.950% of the principal amount.

The issuance of the notes is expected to close on April 11, 2018, subject to customary closing conditions. The notes will pay interest on an annual basis.

PerkinElmer plans to use the net proceeds of the offering to repay all of the $200 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under its term loan facility and to repay a portion of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under its revolving credit facility, in each case incurred to pay a portion of the purchase price of its acquisition of EUROIMMUN Medizinische Labordiagnostika AG, which closed on December 19, 2017. PerkinElmer expects to use any remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes.

The book-running manager for the offering is J.P. Morgan Securities plc.

The offering is being made pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3 (including a prospectus) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
