On May 17, 2019, Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Investors LLC (the “Company”) announced that it is commencing an offering of $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of
additional 6.50% senior notes due 2025 (the “Additional Notes”)
in a private offering, subject to market and other conditions. There are $300.0 million 6.50% senior notes due 2025 outstanding as of the date hereof.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including the funding of future
investments, including aviation investments.
The Additional Notes will be offered in the United States to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to persons
outside of the United States under Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Additional Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States
absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
The information in this Form 8-K filed pursuant to Item 8.01 does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to
buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws
of any such jurisdiction.
