Assurant Announces Closing of Public Offering of Senior Notes

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Assurant, Inc. (NYSE: AIZ) (“Assurant”), a premier global protection company that safeguards and services connected devices, homes and automobiles in partnership with the world’s leading brands, today announced the closing of a public offering of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.550% Senior Notes due 2036 (the “Notes”).

The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be approximately $296.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by Assurant. Assurant intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to redeem all of the $175.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of its 6.100% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”), to pay related premiums, fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes. This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the 2026 Notes.

The offering of the Notes was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Barclays Capital Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC acted as joint book-running managers for the offering.

An effective shelf registration statement, under which the Notes were issued, was filed previously with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The offering and sale of the Notes was made only by means of a prospectus and an accompanying prospectus supplement related to the offering. You can get copies of these documents for free by visiting EDGAR at the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

LLC, Attention: Prospectus Department, 200 West Street, New York, New York 10282, or by telephone: [phone].
