JALISCO, Mexico, Nov. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Operadora de Servicios Mega, S.A. de C.V., SOFOM, E.R, a regulated multiple purpose financial company ("Mega" or the "Company"), is announcing today the termination of its previously announced (i) offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") any and all of its outstanding 8.250% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "Existing Notes") for its newly issued 12.000% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "New Notes") and (ii) solicitation of consents (the "Consent Solicitation") from Eligible Holders (as defined below) of the Existing Notes to amend certain terms (the "Proposed Amendments") of the indenture governing the Existing Notes (the "Existing Indenture"), in each case pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in an Exchange Offer Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated October 13, 2023 (the "Exchange Offer Memorandum").

The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation were subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer Memorandum, which included, among others, the Minimum Participation Condition.

In addition, as a result of the termination of the Consent Solicitation, the Proposed Amendments to the Existing Indenture will not be adopted, and the Existing Notes will remain outstanding and subject to the terms of the Existing Indenture. All Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn will be promptly returned or credited back to their respective holders.

The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation were made, and the New Notes were offered, only (a) in the United States to holders of Existing Notes who are "qualified institutional buyers" (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")) in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and (b) outside the United States to holders of the Existing Notes who are persons other than "U.S. persons" as defined in Regulation S ("Regulation S") under the Securities Act who are not acquiring New Notes for the account or benefit of a U.S. person and who are "non-U.S. qualified offerees" (as defined under "Transfer Restrictions" in the Exchange Offer Memorandum), in offshore transactions in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The holders of Existing Notes who have certified to the Company that they are eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation pursuant to the foregoing conditions are referred to as "Eligible Holders."
