NORWELL, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 17, 2012--
Clean Harbors, Inc. (“Clean Harbors”) (NYSE: CLH) announced today that
it has priced a private placement of $800 million of Senior Notes due
2020 (the “Notes”). The size of the private placement was increased from
the previously announced amount of $600 million.
The Notes, which carry an interest rate of 5.25%, were priced at 100.0%
of the aggregate principal amount. The transaction is expected to close
on or about July 30, 2012, subject to customary closing conditions.

remaining net proceeds from the offering to redeem any of its
outstanding 7.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 not purchased in the
tender offer and consent solicitation and for general corporate purposes.
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
