MEXICO CITY, March 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CORPORACION GEO, S.A.B. de C.V. (the "Company") announces that the early settlement of its offer to purchase (the "Tender Offer") any and all outstanding 8.875% Senior Notes due 2014 (the "Existing Notes") and solicitation of consents (the "Consents") to amend the indenture relating to the Existing Notes (the "Consent Solicitation") occurred on March 27, 2012 (the "Early Settlement Date") for all Existing Notes that were tendered by 5:00 P.M., New York City Time, on March 19, 2012 (the "Early Tender and Consent Time").  The Company also executed a supplemental indenture to implement the amendments for which the Consents were sought on the Early Settlement Date.

Early Tender and Consent Time Results of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation
As previously announced, as of the Early Tender and Consent Time, US$195,218,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes, representing approximately 78.09% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes, had been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Tender Offer and Consents in respect of those Existing Notes had been delivered in the Consent Solicitation.  Holders of Existing Notes who validly tendered Existing Notes in the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation before the Early Tender and Consent Time, and whose tender and delivery of Consents were accepted by the Company, have received, in addition to accrued and unpaid interest for each US$1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes tendered, an amount in cash in US dollars equal to US$1,085.00 (the "Total Consideration"), consisting of (i) an amount equal to US$1,055.00, (the "Tender Offer Consideration") plus (ii) an amount equal to US$30.00 (the "Early Tender Fee").

The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 P.M., New York City Time, on April 4, 2012, unless extended (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the "Expiration Time").  Holders who validly tender Existing Notes after the Early Tender and Consent Time, but on or prior to the Expiration Time, will receive the Tender Offer Consideration, but not the Early Tender Fee.

The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are set forth in an offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement, dated March 8, 2012 (the "Offer to Purchase").  The Company may amend, extend or terminate the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation in its discretion.

The completion of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation was conditioned on:

• the receipt by the Company of an amount of net proceeds, in cash, not less than the amount of cash required to settle the payment of the Tender Offer Consideration or Total Consideration, as applicable, plus accrued interest for the Existing Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, and all related expenses in connection therewith from one or more new debt offerings on terms satisfactory to the Company in its sole discretion at or before the Settlement Date (the "Financing Condition"); and
• the valid delivery to the information agent appointed by the Company (described below) of the Consents of holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Existing Notes at or prior to the Expiration Time (the "Requisite Consents").

The Requisite Consents have been received and the Financing Condition has been satisfied as of the Early Settlement Date.

Final Settlement
Payment for all Existing Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender and Consent Time and prior to the Expiration Time and accepted by the Company will be made on the business day the Company selects promptly following the Expiration Time or the business day on which the Company waives the conditions to consummation of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation (the "Final Settlement Date").  The Company expects the Final Settlement Date (subject to any extension of the Expiration Time) to be April 6, 2012.
