HUNT OIL COMPANY OF PERU L.L.C., SUCURSAL DEL PERÚ COMMENCES TENDER OFFER FOR ANY AND ALL OF ITS 6.375% TRUST ENHANCED SENIOR NOTES DUE 2028

LIMA, Peru, Sept. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hunt Oil Company of Peru L.L.C., Sucursal del Perú ("HOCP") announced today the commencement of a cash tender offer (the "Offer") for any and all of its outstanding 6.375% Trust Enhanced Senior Notes due 2028 (CUSIP Nos.: Rule 144A: 445640 AB1, Regulation S: P5300P AB9), (ISINs: Rule 144A: US445640AB18, Regulation S: USP5300PAB96) (the "Notes").

The Offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated September 5, 2023 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and the related Notice of Guaranteed Delivery (as these terms are defined in the Offer to Purchase and, collectively, the "Offer Documents"). The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Notes:

As set forth in the table above, subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer, holders of the Notes (each, a "Holder") must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes at or before 8:00 a.m., New York City time (7:00 a.m., Lima time), on September 12, 2023, unless such date and time are extended or the Offer is earlier terminated by HOCP in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law (such time and date, as may be extended or earlier terminated, the "Expiration Time"), to receive U.S.$977.50 for each U.S.$1,000 in original principal amount of Notes, multiplied by the Scaling Factor (the "Consideration"). In addition to the Consideration, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes from the last interest payment date for the Notes to, but not including, the Settlement Date (as defined below). Subject to the exceptions set forth in the indenture governing the Notes, dated June 1, 2018, as amended by the supplemental indenture dated April 29, 2022, HOCP will also pay additional amounts such that, after deduction or withholding for taxes, Holders will receive the amount that they would have received if there had not been any such deduction or withholding. The Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase by the Company will be cancelled on the Settlement Date and Holders of such Notes will not be entitled to receive any further payments thereunder. In the event of a termination of the Offer, all Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer will be promptly returned.

HOCP's obligation to accept for purchase and to pay for Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver, in HOCP's discretion, of certain conditions, which are more fully described in the Offer Documents, including the consummation of HOCP's concurrent offering of new notes (the "New Notes Offering") (the "Financing Condition"). However, the Offer is not conditioned on any minimum amount of Notes being tendered.

Subject to satisfaction or waiver of said conditions, in HOCP's sole discretion, HOCP anticipates that it will accept for purchase Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the Expiration Time and pay for such accepted Notes promptly following the Expiration Time and the Guaranteed Delivery Date (the "Settlement Date"). The Settlement Date for the Offer is expected to occur on September 19, 2023, which is the fifth business day after the Expiration Time, unless the Offer is extended or earlier terminated by HOCP in its sole discretion, subject to applicable law.

Tendered Notes may be withdrawn at any time at or before 8:00 a.m., New York City time (7:00 a.m., Lima time), on September 12, 2023, unless extended (the "Withdrawal Deadline").

HOCP reserves the right to amend, terminate or withdraw the Offer, including if the Financing Condition or other conditions are not satisfied, subject to applicable law. In the event of a termination or withdrawal of the Offer, Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer will be promptly returned to the tendering Holders.
