Anadarko Announces Cash Tender Offer For Up To $500 Million Aggregate Principal Amount Of Certain Of Its Outstanding Debt Securities

HOUSTON, Nov. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: APC) today announced the commencement of a cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") for up to $500 million combined aggregate principal amount (the "Maximum Tender Amount") of its outstanding 3.45% Notes due 2024, 4.85% Notes due 2021 and 5.55% Notes due 2026 (collectively, the "Notes") in the priorities set forth in the table below. The purpose of the Tender Offer is to reduce the outstanding debt represented by the Notes purchased in the Tender Offer and reduce Anadarko's future interest expense. Notes that are accepted in the Tender Offer will be purchased, retired and cancelled by Anadarko and will no longer represent outstanding obligations of Anadarko.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Notes and the Tender Offer:

The Tender Offer is being made upon and is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Anadarko's Offer to Purchase dated Nov. 27, 2018 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of Transmittal. The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on Dec. 24, 2018, unless extended or earlier terminated by Anadarko (the "Expiration Date").

The consideration paid in the Tender Offer for each series of Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to a fixed spread over the yield to maturity of the applicable U.S. Treasury Security specified in the table above and in the Offer to Purchase (the "Total Consideration"). Holders of Notes that are validly tendered and not withdrawn at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Dec. 10, 2018 (the "Early Tender Deadline") and accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Total Consideration, which includes an early tender premium of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes accepted for purchase (the "Early Tender Premium"). Holders of Notes who validly tender their Notes following the Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Date will only receive the applicable "Tender Offer Consideration" per $1,000 principal amount of any such Notes tendered by such holders that are accepted for purchase, which is equal to the applicable Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Premium. The Total Consideration will be determined at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day following the Early Tender Deadline, which is expected to be Dec. 11, 2018, unless extended by Anadarko.

Tenders of Notes may be withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Dec. 10, 2018 and may not be withdrawn thereafter except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.

Payments for Notes purchased will include accrued and unpaid interest from and including the last interest payment date applicable to the relevant series of Notes up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date for such Notes accepted for purchase. The settlement date for Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline is expected to be Dec. 12, 2018, the second business day following the Early Tender Deadline (the "Early Settlement Date"). The settlement date for Notes that are tendered following the Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Date and accepted for purchase is expected to be Dec. 27, 2018, the second business day following the Expiration Date (the "Final Settlement Date"), assuming the Maximum Tender Amount is not purchased on the Early Settlement Date.

Subject to the Maximum Tender Amount, all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline having a higher Acceptance Priority Level (with 1 being the highest) will be accepted before any tendered Notes having a lower Acceptance Priority Level (with 3 being the lowest), and all Notes validly tendered following the Early Tender Deadline having a higher Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted before any Notes tendered following the Early Tender Deadline having a lower Acceptance Priority Level. However, even if the Tender Offer is not fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Deadline, subject to the Maximum Tender Amount, Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be accepted for purchase in priority to other Notes tendered following the Early Tender Deadline even if such Notes tendered following the Early Tender Deadline have a higher Acceptance Priority Level than Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline.

Notes of a series may be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such series validly tendered and not validly withdrawn would cause the Maximum Tender Amount to be exceeded. If the Notes within an Acceptance Priority Level are accepted on a prorated basis, no series of Notes with an Acceptance Priority Level lower than such prorated series of Notes will be accepted for purchase. Furthermore, if the Tender Offer is fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Deadline, holders who validly tender Notes following the Early Tender Deadline will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase.

Anadarko's obligation to accept for purchase and to pay for the Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offer is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. Anadarko reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to: (i) waive any and all conditions to the Tender Offer; (ii) extend or terminate the Tender Offer with respect to any series of the Notes; (iii) increase or decrease the Maximum Tender Amount; or (iv) otherwise amend the Tender Offer in any respect. Credit Agricole Securities (USA) Inc. and Deutsche Bank Securities are acting as dealer managers for the Tender Offer.  The information agent and tender agent is D.F. King & Co., Inc.  Copies of the Offer to Purchase, Letter of Transmittal and related offering materials are available by contacting D.F. King & Co., Inc. at (888) 605-1957 (toll-free), (212) 269-5550 (banks and brokers) or [email protected].
