MEXICO CITY, Aug. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- GRUPO PETROTEMEX, S.A. DE C.V. (the "Company") announced the final results of its offer to purchase (the "Tender Offer") any and all of its outstanding 9.500% Senior Notes due 2014 (the "Existing Notes") and solicitation of consents (the "Consents") to amend the indenture dated as of August 19, 2009 relating to the Existing Notes (the "Consent Solicitation") upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated as of July 13, 2012 (the "Offer to Purchase").

The Company has been advised by the information agent that as of the Expiration Time, U.S. $154,173,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes, or approximately 56.06%, had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer, including U.S. $153,573,000, or approximately 55.84%, of the Notes that were tendered and not withdrawn as of 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on July 27, 2012 (the "Early Tender and Consent Time"). In addition, as previously announced, the Company had obtained Consents to the Proposed Amendments (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) from holders representing a majority in aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes and, as a result, had entered into the fourth supplemental indenture dated as of August 1, 2012. The Company has accepted for purchase all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation.
Payment for all Existing Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender and Consent Time and at or 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 (the "Final Settlement Date"). The Company expects the Final Settlement Date to be on or about August 15, 2012.
On the Final Settlement Date, in the case of Existing Notes tendered and related Consents delivered after the Early Tender and Consent Time, but at or prior to the Expiration Time, the Company will cause holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes prior to or at the Expiration Time to receive an amount consisting of U.S. $1,100 plus accrued and unpaid interest, from the last interest payment date preceding the Tender Offer to, but not including, the Final Settlement Date for such Notes.
