NOT FOR PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, CANADA, JAPAN, AUSTRALIA, SOUTH AFRICA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Florida, Sept. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Carrier Global Corporation has announced that it intends to sell approximately 9 million B shares of Beijer Ref AB ("Beijer Ref"), equal to approximately 7.7% of the outstanding B shares in Beijer Ref, through an accelerated equity offering ("AEO" or the "Transaction"). The total number of shares offered and the price of the shares will be decided by Carrier at the close of a book building process, which commences immediately. Carrier (NYSE: CARR) is a leading global provider of innovative heating, ventilating and air-conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, fire, security and building automation technologies. Beijer Ref provides commercial and industrial refrigeration as well as heating and air conditioning products, and is listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm.

Carrier currently holds approximately 38% of the Beijer Ref B share capital, approximately 22% of the Beijer Ref A share capital, and approximately 31% of the Beijer Ref total votes.

Beijer Ref will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Carrier's shares. Carrier expects to announce the outcome of the AEO before 9:00 CEST (03:00 EDT) on 23 September 2020. Carrier reserves the right to close the books at any time.

The Transaction is part of Carrier's ongoing evaluation of its portfolio, as previously communicated. Carrier's evaluation and decision has no bearing on its valued and longstanding distribution relationship with Beijer Ref.

Citigroup Global Markets Limited is acting as sole global coordinator and bookrunner in the execution of the AEO. Carnegie Investment Bank AB (publ) is acting as co-bookrunner.

Carrier has agreed to a 90-day lock up for its remaining holdings in Beijer Ref, subject to certain exceptions, including M&A.
