Morgan Securities LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), relating to the public offering (the “Offering”) by Waste Connections of $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.050% Senior Notes due 2050 (the “Notes”).

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and customary conditions to closing, obligations of the parties and termination provisions. Additionally, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

 

The summary of the Underwriting Agreement in this report does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Safe Harbor and Forward-Looking Information

 

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“PSLRA”), including “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. These forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance and reflect Waste Connections’ current beliefs and expectations regarding future events, including the completion of the Offering. These forward-looking statements are often identified by the words “plans,” “may,” “believes,” “expects,” “estimates,” “intends” or other words of similar meaning, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. All of the forward-looking statements included in this document are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the PSLRA and applicable securities laws in Canada. Forward-looking statements involve risks, assumptions and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from those indicated by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, risk factors detailed in the Prospectus Supplement, which is a part of the Registration Statement, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and those risk factors set forth from time to time in the Company’s other filings with the SEC and the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in Canada. The closing of the Offering is subject to market conditions and a number of other conditions and approvals. The final terms may vary as a result of such market and other conditions. There can be no assurance that the Offering will be completed as described herein or at all. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this document. Waste Connections undertakes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements set forth in this document, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, unless required by applicable securities laws.
