On April 2, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing the following
actions taken to provide additional liquidity and financial flexibility to
mitigate the effect on its business from the international emergency that has
arisen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Borrowing Under the Revolving Credit Facility
As previously disclosed, the Company maintains a revolving credit facility of
$420 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility") as part of its Credit Agreement,
the material terms of which are described in the section titled "Credit
Agreement" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on February 11, 2020 (the "Form 10-K") and incorporated
herein by reference.
On April 1, 2020, we executed a draw down of $400 million on the Revolving
Credit Facility, resulting in approximately $404 million outstanding under the
Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on March
27, 2024. A copy of the Credit Agreement is listed as an exhibit to the
Form 10-K.
Suspension of Share Repurchase Program
The Company announced the suspension of its share repurchase program. As the
uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic is resolved, the Board of
Directors will re-evaluate such suspension.
Removal of Guidance
Due to unprecedented global economic conditions and uncertainty resulting from
the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company is removing its financial guidance that it
previously provided for 2020. The Company expects to provide a business update
on its first quarter earnings call.
Reduction of Director Cash Retainer
The Company's Board of Directors has reduced all cash retainer amounts owed to
the non-management directors by 50% for the period beginning April 1, 2020
through June 30, 2020.
Updated Risk Factor
The Company is updating the risk factors previously described in Item 1A of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
We are subject to various risks related to public health crises, including the
global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
We are impacted by public health crises such as the global COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 outbreak has triggered significant economic and demand uncertainty.
In addition, global government directives and initiatives to reduce the
transmission of COVID-19, such as the imposition of travel restrictions, closing
of borders, stay at home directives and closing of entire plants, cities and
countries, have materially impacted our operations. In these challenging and
dynamic circumstances, we are working to protect our employees and the public,
maintain business continuity and sustain our operations, including

                                       2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ensuring the safety and protection of about our people who work in our plants
and distribution centers across the world, many of whom support the
manufacturing and delivery of products deemed part of the critical
infrastructure or essential businesses by the applicable local or country
governments. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted our
supply chain and in some cases, reduced the demand for our products or created
significant difficulties in delivering our products to our customers.
Furthermore, COVID-19 has impacted and may further impact the broader economies
of affected countries, including negatively impacting economic growth, the
proper functioning of financial and capital markets, foreign currency exchange
rates, and interest rates. For example, the continued spread of COVID-19 has led
to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which increases the
cost of capital and adversely impacts access to capital. Due to the speed with
which the situation is developing and the uncertainty of its duration and the
timing of recovery, we are not able at this time to predict the extent to which
the COVID-19 pandemic may have a material effect on our financial or operational
results.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report, as well as other statements made by the Company, contain
forward-looking statements that reflect, when made, the Company's current views
with respect to current events and financial performance, including the impact
of the current COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's future operations and balance
sheet. Such forward-looking statements are subject to many risks, uncertainties
and factors relating to the Company's operations and business environment, which
may cause the actual results of the Company to be materially different from the
expectations set forth in this report, in particular due to the uncertainties
posed by the pandemic and the difficulty in predicting its future course and its
impact on the global economy. All statements that address future operating,
financial or business performance or the Company's strategies or expectations
are forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from these forward-looking statements are discussed under the

Condition and Results of Operations" in the Company's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. New risks and uncertainties arise from time
to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may
affect the Company. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update
or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events and/or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
