NORWELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 28, 2012--
Clean Harbors, Inc. (“Clean Harbors”) (NYSE: CLH) announced today that
it has priced a previously announced private placement of $600 million
of Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”). The size of the private
placement was increased from the previously announced amount of $550
million.
The Notes, which carry an interest rate of 5.125%, were priced at 100.0%
of the aggregate principal amount thereof. The transaction is expected
to close on or about December 7, 2012, subject to customary closing

6.0 million shares of common stock, which was priced on November 27,
2012, to finance a portion of the purchase price for Clean Harbors’
previously announced proposed acquisition of Safety-Kleen, Inc. and its
subsidiaries and related transaction fees and expenses.
The Notes are being offered in the United States to qualified
institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States
pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. This press release
shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to
buy, nor shall there be any sale of, the Notes in any jurisdiction in
which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such
jurisdiction. The Notes will not be registered under the 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
