Magnesita Refractories Company 2020 Senior Notes Tender Offer
YORK, Pa., July 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Magnesita Refractories Company ("Magnesita") announces to its shareholders and the market in general that it has commenced a tender offer (the "Tender Offer"), in which it is offering to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 7.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (CUSIP No. 756145AA6 and No. D33488AA1) (the "Notes"). In connection with the Tender Offer, Magnesita is soliciting consents (the "Consent Solicitation") to proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Notes (the "Proposed Amendments") that will eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, as well as various events of default and related provisions. The Proposed Amendments require the consents of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.
The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on August 13, 2015, unless extended (the "Expiration Time"). Holders may withdraw any tendered Notes and revoke any delivered consents by 5:00 p.m., New York City Time on July 30, 2015.
Magnesita is offering to pay:
- To holders who validly tender their Notes and consent to the Proposed Amendments before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 30, 2015 (the "Early Tender Date"), U.S.$1,000 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes (which includes a consent payment of U.S.$50 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes); and
- To holders who validly tender their Notes and consent to the Proposed Amendments after the Early Tender Date, but before the Expiration Time, U.S.$950 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes.
All Holders whose Notes are purchased in the Tender Offer will be paid accrued and unpaid interest on their purchased Notes to, but not including, the date of payment for their Notes.
Holders who tender their Notes must consent to the Proposed Amendments, and no consents to the Proposed Amendments may be delivered without tendering the related Notes.
The Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions including: (i) obtaining financing which, together with available cash, is sufficient to pay the total consideration in the Tender Offer and (ii) certain other customary conditions. The receipt of consents of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes is not a condition to the Tender Offer and Magnesita reserves the right in its sole discretion to purchase the Notes tendered in the Tender Offer regardless of whether such consents are received.
