PL Developments Announces Early Tender Time Results for the Previously Announced Exchange Offer

WESTBURY, N.Y., Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- P & L Development Holdings, LLC ("PLD" or the "Company") today announced the early participation results of certain of its subsidiaries' previously announced offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") up to $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount (the "Maximum Amount") of the outstanding 7.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the "Old Notes") issued by P & L Development, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Issuer") and PLD Finance Corp., a Delaware corporation (together with the Issuer, the "Issuers") into new PIK Toggle Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the "New Notes") to be issued by the same Issuers. Any capitalized terms used in this press release without definition have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Offering Memorandum (as defined below).

The Exchange Offer is being made upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Confidential Offering Memorandum and Consent Solicitation Statement (the "Offering Memorandum") dated October 9, 2024. The Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 7, 2024 (the "Expiration Time"), subject to being amended or extended.

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 23, 2024 (the "Early Tender Time"), $462,209,000 aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes had been validly tendered for exchange and not validly withdrawn, as confirmed by the Information Agent and Exchange Agent for the Exchange Offer. The "Withdrawal Deadline" was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 23, 2024. Accordingly, holders may no longer withdraw Old Notes tendered in the Exchange Offer. Since Old Notes in excess of the Maximum Amount had been validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Time, the Issuers will accept approximately 75.72% of Old Notes tendered for exchange on or around October 28, 2024 (the "Initial Settlement Date"). Any Old Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time and prior to the Expiration Time will be rejected and the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes initially remaining outstanding following consummation of the Exchange Offer will be $115,000,000. Such Old Notes remaining outstanding following the consummation of the Exchange Offer are expected to be repaid in connection with the Concurrent Financing (as defined below).

For each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes that have been validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for exchange, holders will receive $1,053 principal amount of New Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Old Notes from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the issue date of the New Notes.

The consummation of the Exchange Offer was conditioned upon, among other things, the valid tender, and not valid withdrawal, of at least 66.67% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Old Notes (excluding Old Notes held by the Issuers or any of their respective affiliates) (the "Minimum Tender Condition"). In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Issuers have sought consents to the Proposed Amendments (as defined below) from registered holders of the Old Notes. The Minimum Tender Condition has been met as of the Early Tender Time.

Since the Minimum Tender Condition has been satisfied but the Old Notes tendered in the Exchange Offer exceed the Maximum Amount, a supplemental indenture will be executed and delivered on the Initial Settlement Date to effect the Proposed Amendments that will amend the definition of "Permitted Liens" and certain related definitions in the Old Notes Indenture as further described in the Offering Memorandum.

The Exchange Offer is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among other things, the amendment to the Company's ABL Facility, and the absence of any proceeding, event, condition, or legal impediment that could prohibit or delay the Exchange Offer from being consummated or impair the anticipated benefits of the Exchange Offer. For further information, please refer to "Conditions to the Exchange Offer and the Consent Solicitation" in the Offering Memorandum.

We previously entered into a commitment letter with certain holders of the Old Notes pursuant to which we expect to issue and sell to such holders in a private transaction additional New Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $131,450,000 (the "Concurrent Financing"). The proceeds from the Concurrent Financing will be used to repay any amounts of Old Notes outstanding following the consummation of the Exchange Offer and to pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation and the Concurrent Financing. The holders' commitment to purchase the additional New Notes is subject to customary conditions, including the accuracy of certain representations and warranties, no event of default and the consummation of an amendment to the ABL Credit Agreement. The foregoing description of the Concurrent Financing is subject to the negotiation and finalization of, and therefore qualified in its entirety by the definitive documentation related thereto.
