LONDON, April 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Crossing (UK) Finance plc ("GCUK Finance"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Global Crossing (NASDAQ: GLBC), announced today that it has begun an excess cash offer with respect to its senior secured notes.

In accordance with the indenture governing its notes, GCUK Finance will offer to purchase for cash up to 11.144 million British pounds sterling in aggregate principal amount, including accrued interest (the "Excess Cash"), of its 10.75 percent U.S. dollar-denominated senior secured notes due in 2014 and its 11.75 percent British pound sterling-denominated senior secured notes due in 2014.  The notes are guaranteed by Global Crossing (UK) Telecommunications Limited ("GCUK"), GCUK Finance's immediate parent and the principal UK operating subsidiary of Global Crossing.

The offer is being made pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the senior secured notes. The indenture requires GCUK Finance to make an offer to purchase the maximum principal amount of the senior secured notes possible using 50 percent of GCUK's excess operating cash flow for the period from December 23, 2004 to December 31, 2005 and for each twelve-month period thereafter.  

The excess cash offer will expire at 4:00 p.m. London time on May 26, 2011, unless extended.  The terms and conditions of the offer are described in GCUK Finance's offer document dated April 26, 2011.

Notes that are properly tendered and accepted for purchase in accordance with the terms and conditions of the offer document will be purchased at a cash price equal to 100 percent of the outstanding principal amount of the notes tendered, together with any accrued and unpaid interest outstanding on the date of the purchase.  If the aggregate principal amount of notes tendered exceeds the amount that can be purchased using the Excess Cash at a purchase price of 100 percent of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, notes will be accepted for purchase on a pro rata basis among tendering note holders based upon the amounts tendered.  For purposes of determining the aggregate principal amount of the notes tendered in order to apply the pro rata calculation, the aggregate principal amount of the sterling-denominated notes tendered will be converted to dollars at the noon buying rate in the City of New York for cable transfers in pounds sterling as announced by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for customs purposes on April 21, 2011.

Tenders may be validly withdrawn until 10:00 a.m. London time on May 31, 2011 or, if the offer period is extended, at 10:00 a.m. London time three business days after the expiration date for the offer.

For more information regarding the tendering of notes, please refer to the procedures described in the offer document under "Procedures for Tendering."

Copies of the offer document, and other information relating to this excess cash tender offer, are available from The Bank of New York Mellon and The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, as Tender Agents for the Sterling and Dollar Notes respectively; BNY Financial Services Plc, as Irish Tender Agent; The Bank of New York Mellon, as Irish Listing Agent; the custodian for The Depository Trust Company and the common depository for Euroclear System and Clearstream Banking, societe anonyme.
