U.S. FILTER ANNOUNCES PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF
US$140 MILLION CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES
Palm Desert, California, September 18, 1995. United State Filter Corporation
(NYSE:USF) announced today the private placement of US$140 million of 6%
Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2005. The Notes will be convertible into USF
common stock at US$27.50 per share. U.S. Filter will use the proceeds from the
sale of the Notes to fund the pending acquisition of Polymetrics, Inc., to repay
indebtedness incurred in connection with the recently completed acquisition of
Interlake Water Systems, to repurchase all of the outstanding share of its
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and to repay indebtedness under its
revolving line of credit. U.S. Filter will file a shelf registration statement
with respect to the Notes. The Notes were placed by Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette
Securities Corporation and PaineWebber Incorporated.
U.S. Filter sold the Notes in accordance with Rule 144A and Regulation S
under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act) and, therefore, the
Notes have not been registered under the Act. The Notes may not be offered or
sold in the United States absent an effective registration statement pursuant to
the Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the
Act, and applicable state securities laws.
U.S. Filter is a leading global provider of industrial and commercial water
and wastewater treatment systems and services. With corporate offices in Palm
