YORK, Pa., Aug. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Magnesita Refractories Company ("Magnesita") announces to its shareholders and the market in general the expiration of (i) its previously announced cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") for any and all of its outstanding 7.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (CUSIP No. 756145AA6 and No. D33488AA1) (the "Notes") and (ii) the related solicitation of consents (the "Consent Solicitation") to proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Notes (the "Proposed Amendments") to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, as well as various events of default and related provisions. The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation expired on August 13, 2015 at 11:59 p.m., New York City time (the "Expiration Time"), and have not been extended.
As of the Expiration Time, Magnesita has been advised that it has received tenders and consents from the holders of an aggregate of U.S.$ 222,116,000 principal amount of Notes, representing 77.25% of the outstanding Notes, including U.S.$221,076,000 principal amount of Notes, representing 76.89% of the outstanding Notes, that were tendered and not validly withdrawn as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 30, 2015 (the "Early Tender Date").
Since holders of greater than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes (excluding any Notes held by Magnesita or its affiliates) submitted consents as of the Early Tender Date, Magnesita executed the Second Supplemental Indenture implementing the Proposed Amendments on August 4, 2015 (the "Early Payment Date"). Any Notes not tendered and purchased in the Tender Offer are now subject to the terms of the Second Supplemental Indenture.
As previously announced, holders of Notes who validly tendered their Notes and consented to the Proposed Amendments at or prior to the Early Tender Date received on the Early Payment Date, the sum of (i) U.S.$1,000 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes, which included a consent payment of U.S.$50 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest. Holders of Notes who validly tendered their Notes and consented to the Proposed Amendments after the Early Tender Date, but before the Expiration Time, will receive the sum of (i) U.S.$950 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest. The conditions to the Tender Offer have been satisfied, therefore, the settlement date for the Notes not previously settled on the Early Payment Date is expected to occur on August 17, 2015, but may change at Magnesita's option.
The complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation dated July 17, 2015, and the related Letter of Transmittal, copies of which may be obtained from D.F.
