Northrop Grumman Corporation

FALLS CHURCH, Va., May 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) (“Northrop Grumman”) announced today that it has commenced its offer to eligible holders to exchange (the “Registered Exchange Offer”) any and all of the $421,664,000 aggregate principal amount of its outstanding unsecured notes previously issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as set forth in the table below (the “Restricted Notes”), for an equal principal amount of new notes registered under the Securities Act (the “Exchange Notes”).

The following table sets forth the outstanding aggregate principal amount of each series of Restricted Notes. The Registered Exchange Offer consists of an offer to exchange up to the entire aggregate principal amount of each series of Restricted Notes for an equal principal amount of the corresponding series of Exchange Notes.

The terms of the Exchange Notes to be issued in the Registered Exchange Offer are substantially identical to the terms of the corresponding series of Restricted Notes, except that the Exchange Notes will be registered under the Securities Act and the transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions applicable to the Restricted Notes will not apply to the Exchange Notes. The Exchange Notes will represent the same debt as the Restricted Notes, and the Company will issue the Exchange Notes under the same indenture that governs the applicable series of Restricted Notes.
