This 8-K filing from Air Products & Chemicals, Inc. (APD) primarily concerns its wholly-owned subsidiary, Versum Materials, Inc. The key event reported is Versum's announced offering of $425 million in senior unsecured notes. This offering, conducted under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act, is subject to market conditions.
