Exhibit 99.1
FMC Corporation Announces Pricing of $1.2 Billion of Senior Secured Notes
PHILADELPHIA, May 21, 2026 – FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC) (“FMC” or the “Company”), a leading global agricultural
sciences company, today announced that it has priced an offering of $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of 8.000% senior secured notes due 2031 (the “Notes”) at an issue price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof. The
Notes will be sold in a private offering to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The offering is expected to close on June 5, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund the repurchase or redemption of the Company’s outstanding 3.200% Senior Notes due
October 1, 2026, to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company’s Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 17, 2022, and for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of other debt.
The Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by various subsidiaries of the Company organized under the laws of the United
States, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Canada and Singapore (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The Notes and related note guarantees will be secured by first-priority liens on (i) substantially all of the assets of the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors organized under the laws of the United States, Canada and Switzerland, other than certain excluded property and (ii) all the equity interests held by the Subsidiary Guarantors organized under the laws of Singapore and the
Netherlands in their respective subsidiaries.
Neither the Notes nor the guarantees have been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws
of any other jurisdiction, and the Notes and the guarantees may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or guarantees, nor shall there be any sale of the
Notes or guarantees in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
