Zebra Technologies Announces Pricing of $1.05 Billion Senior Unsecured Note Private Offering

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA) today announced the pricing of its offering of $1.05 billion in aggregate principal amount of 7 ¼% senior unsecured notes due 2022 (the "Notes") in a private offering.

The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Zebra and will be guaranteed by certain of Zebra's domestic subsidiaries following the closing of the acquisition.

The Notes and related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This offering will be made only to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
