Frigorífico Concepción S.A. Announces Expiration and Final Tender Deadline Results

ASUNCIÓN, Paraguay, July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Frigorífico Concepción S.A (the "Company") hereby announces the expiration and final results of the previously announced offer to purchase for cash any and all of the Company's 10.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the "Notes") and solicitation of consents  to proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Notes and the related security documents (the "Consents"), pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated June 21, 2021 (the "Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement"). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement.

Based on information provided by Global Bondholder Services Corporation ("GBSC"), the information agent for the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation, tender instructions in the amounts set forth in the table below were validly delivered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 19, 2021 (the "Expiration Time"). Subject to the conditions set forth in the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, the Company has accepted all valid tender instructions delivered pursuant to the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation.

__________________________

(1) The Notes are currently listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and admitted for trading on the Euro MTF Market.

Pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, eligible Holders were required to validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes prior to the Early Tender Deadline to be eligible to receive the Early Tender Consideration. However, Holders were able to participate in the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation by validly tendering Notes and delivering their Consent after the Early Tender Deadline and at or prior to the Expiration Time. In such instances, the Holders will have been eligible to receive only the Late Tender Consideration (which excludes the Early Tender Consideration). The Late Tender Consideration payable for each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes that were validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) after the Early Tender Deadline and at or prior the Expiration Time will be US$1,090. In addition to the Early Tender Consideration or the Late Tender Consideration, as the case may be, Holders whose Notes were accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will also receive Accrued Interest. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, payment for Notes validly tendered and, to the extent applicable, Consents validly delivered, and accepted for purchase will be made on the Payment Date by the Company's deposit of immediately available funds with the Depositary or, upon the Depositary's instructions, with DTC. Given that Consents validly received were sufficient to reach the Requisite Consents, the Proposed Amendments will become effective.

Holders of Notes are advised to check with any bank, securities broker or other intermediary through which they hold Notes as to when such intermediary would need to receive instructions from a Holder in order for that Holder to be able to participate in, or withdraw their instruction to participate in the Offer to Purchase and the Consent Solicitation before the deadlines specified in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement. The deadlines set by any such intermediary and The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") for the submission of tender instructions will be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified above.
