Current Report on Form 8‑K

Dated July 1, 2016

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

In connection with the previously announced closing of the Rexam acquisition and divestitures to Ardagh Group, Ball Corporation (the "Company") inadvertently commented during its public conference call and webcast with investors today that targeted net debt to comparable EBITDA at closing of the transaction would be in the range of 4.5 times, including transaction related synergies.  The statement made by management should have "excluded" the impact of transaction related synergies.

In addition to the comments made on today's webcast, the Company anticipates net debt of approximately $7 billion at closing of the Rexam acquisition which includes the cash portion of the purchase price payable to Rexam's shareholders within fourteen (14) days of close.

The Company will file pro forma condensed combined financial statements for the combined Company on or before July 7, 2016, which will present the transactions as if it had occurred on January 1, 2015, for purposes of the pro forma condensed combined statements of earnings for the twelve (12) months ended December 31, 2015, and three months ended March 31, 2016, and as if it had occurred on March 31, 2016, for purposes of the pro forma March 31, 2016, condensed combined balance sheet.
