TROY, Mich., May 24, 2013 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Meritor, Inc. (NYSE: MTOR), announced today that it and the trustee under the indenture governing its 8-1/8% Notes due 2015 (the "Notes") have executed a supplemental indenture to effect proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Notes.  Meritor had previously announced that holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes had tendered their Notes and delivered their consents to the proposed amendments pursuant to its previously announced cash tender offer and consent solicitation (the "Offer and Consent Solicitation"). 

The proposed amendments are described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated May 7, 2013 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and a related Consent and Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal").  The amendments set forth in the supplemental indenture will not become operative until Meritor has accepted for purchase a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Notes pursuant to the terms of the Offer and Consent Solicitation.  A holder's right to withdraw tendered Notes and revoke delivered consents expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 17, 2013.

The Offer and Consent Solicitation will expire at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on June 5, 2013, unless extended or earlier terminated, and remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including, among others, Meritor receiving proceeds from a debt financing transaction sufficient to purchase and pay accrued interest on all Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase by Meritor and to pay all fees and expenses in connection with the Offer and Consent Solicitation and debt financing transaction.

Citigroup Global Markets Inc. is acting as the dealer manager and solicitation agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation.  Global Bondholder Services Corporation is acting as both the depositary and the information agent.  Persons with questions regarding the Offer and Consent Solicitation should contact Citigroup Global Markets Inc. at (toll-free) (800) 558-3745 or (collect) (212) 723-6106.  Requests for copies of the Offer to Purchase, Letter of Transmittal and other related materials should be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation at (toll-free) (866) 937-2200 or (collect) (212) 430-3774.

None of Meritor or its affiliates, its board of directors, the dealer manager and solicitation agent, the depositary and the information agent or the trustee for the Notes, makes any recommendation as to whether holders of the Notes should tender or refrain from tendering the Notes.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes or any other securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.  The Offer and Consent Solicitation is made only through the use of the Offer to Purchase and the accompanying Letter of Transmittal. The Offer and Consent Solicitation is not being made to holders of Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. In any jurisdiction in which the Offer and Consent Solicitation is required to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Offer and Consent Solicitation will be deemed to be made on behalf of Meritor by the dealer manager or one or more registered brokers or dealers that are licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction.
