Anadarko Announces The Pricing Terms Of Its Cash Tender Offer

HOUSTON, Dec. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: APC) today announced the pricing terms of its previously announced 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 terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are described in Anadarko's Offer to Purchase dated Nov. 27, 2018 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of Transmittal. As previously announced, 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.

The Total Consideration for each series of Notes is based on the applicable reference yield plus a fixed spread over the yield to maturity of the applicable U.S. Treasury Security specified in the table below, and is payable to holders of the Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Dec. 10, 2018 (the "Early Tender Deadline"), and whose Notes are accepted for purchase by Anadarko. The Reference Yields listed in the table were determined at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on Dec. 11, 2018, by the dealer managers.  The Total Consideration for each series of Notes includes an early tender premium of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such holders and accepted for purchase by Anadarko. In addition, holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date for the applicable series of Notes up to, but not including, the settlement date, which is expected to occur on Dec. 12, 2018 (such date, the "Early Settlement Date").

The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on Dec. 24, 2018.  Pursuant to the terms of the Tender Offer, the amount of Notes that will be accepted for purchase is subject to the Maximum Tender Amount. Because the aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline exceeds the Maximum Tender Amount, the Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline will be prorated and accepted for purchase, and Anadarko will not accept for purchase any additional Notes tendered after the Early Tender Deadline.  Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all remaining conditions to the Tender Offer described in the Offer to Purchase having been either satisfied or waived by Anadarko and determination of pricing terms, Anadarko intends to accept for purchase (i) all tendered 2024 Notes, (ii) $122,965,000 aggregate principal amount of tendered 2021 Notes, based on a proration factor of approximately 20.3%, and (iii) no 2026 Notes.

Notes not accepted for purchase by Anadarko in the Tender Offer will be promptly credited to the account of the registered holder of such Notes with The Depository Trust Company or otherwise returned in accordance with the Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal.

Anadarko's obligation to accept for purchase, and pay for, any Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver by Anadarko of the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase.

King & Co., Inc.  Copies of the Offer to Purchase, Letter of Transmittal and related offering materials are available by contacting D.F.
