BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, March 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Banco Hipotecario S.A. (BYMA: BHIP), a sociedad anónima incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Argentina ("Banco Hipotecario" or the "Company"), today announced the early results of its previously announced offer to purchase (the "Tender Offer") for cash up to U.S.$75,000,000 aggregate principal amount (the "Maximum Tender Amount") of its outstanding 9.750% Notes due 2020, Series No. 29 (the "Notes"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase dated March 13, 2019 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to Purchase") and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal dated March 13, 2019 (the "Letter of Transmittal" and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the "Offer Documents").

As of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on March 26, 2019 (the "Early Tender Date"), U.S.$52,438,000, or approximately 69.92% of the Maximum Tender Amount and 15.70% of the total outstanding principal amount of Notes were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn). The table below identifies the principal amount of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and the principal amount the Company has accepted for purchase for settlement on the Early Settlement Date.

The amount of the Notes accepted for purchase was determined pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer as set forth in the Offer Documents. This press release is qualified in its entirety by the Offer Documents.

Holders of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or before the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase will be eligible to receive the Total Consideration (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), which includes the early tender premium of U.S.$30.00 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes. All payments for Notes purchased in connection with the Early Tender Date will also include accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date for the Notes up to, but excluding, the early settlement date, which is currently anticipated to be March 28, 2019. In accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer, the withdrawal deadline was 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on March 26, 2019. As a result, tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by the Company).

The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on April 9, 2019. Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Date may be subject to proration if the aggregate principal of Notes tendered on or prior to April 9, 2019 exceeds the balance of the Maximum Tender Amount set forth in the table above. Holders of Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase will be eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). 

The Company's obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, Notes that are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) is subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer Documents. The Company may amend, extend or, subject to certain conditions and applicable law, terminate the Tender Offer at any time in its sole discretion.

Neither the issuance of this press release, the delivery of the Offer to Purchase nor any purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer shall under any circumstances create any implication that the information contained in this press release or the Offer to Purchase is correct as of any time subsequent to the date hereof or thereof or that there has been no change in the information set forth herein or therein or in Banco Hipotecario's affairs since the date hereof or thereof.
