01—Abstract

Summary

Summary of the 8-K/A filed April 30, 2014. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

Ecolab Inc. (ECL) filed an 8-K/A amendment on April 29, 2014, to revise a previously issued news release dated April 28, 2014.

The amendment corrects the classification of its $250 milliona Senior Notes due in 2015. Initially reported as long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014, these notes will now be correctly classified as short-term debt. This reclassification is a technical adjustment made during the finalization of the quarterly financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2014, in anticipation of the Form 10-Q filing.

While the face value of the debt remains the same, the change impacts the balance sheet presentation, potentially affecting key financial ratios related to leverage and liquidity. Investors should note this correction when assessing Ecolab's financial position as of the first quarter of 2014.

03—Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is the main purpose of this 8-K/A filing?

    The main purpose of this filing is to amend a previously issued news release to correct the classification of a significant debt obligation. Specifically, Ecolab is reclassifying its $250 million Senior Notes due in 2015 from long-term debt to short-term debt on its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014.

  2. Why was the debt reclassified?

    The debt was reclassified because, during the process of completing its quarterly financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2014, the Company determined that the $250 million Senior Notes due in 2015 should have been presented as short-term debt rather than long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

  3. Does this reclassification affect Ecolab's total debt or financial performance?

    The reclassification itself does not change the total amount of debt or Ecolab's overall financial performance or cash flows. It is a change in how the debt is presented on the balance sheet, moving a portion from long-term liabilities to short-term liabilities. This could impact certain financial ratios related to leverage and liquidity, but not the fundamental financial health or operational results.

  4. When will investors see this corrected information?

    The revised news release reflecting this change is attached as an exhibit to this 8-K/A filing. Ecolab will also publish the updated news release on its corporate website, www.ecolab.com. Investors will also see this reflected in the Company's upcoming Form 10-Q filing for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2014.
