RALEIGH, N.C., Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Victra, the largest Verizon authorized retailer in the U.S., today announced the expiration and results of the previously announced tender offer (the "Tender Offer") by Victra Holdings, LLC and Victra Finance Corp. (together, the "Issuers") to purchase for cash any and all of their outstanding 7.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the "Notes") from holders thereof (the "Holders"). The Tender Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 13, 2024 (the "Expiration Time"). As of the Expiration Time, $493,377,000 of the $727,833,000 outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offer, representing 67.79% of the outstanding principal amount thereof. The principal amount tendered excludes $1,697,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer to Purchase related to the Tender Offer, and the related Notice of Guaranteed Delivery provided in connection therewith (as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Tender Offer Documents"), which remain subject to the Holders' performance of the delivery requirements under such procedures. 

The Total Consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will be an amount equal to $1,008.75, payable in cash to Holders that validly tendered their Notes prior to the Expiration Time, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Settlement Date (as defined below). The Settlement Date for the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Expiration Time and accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer, including the Notes submitted using the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, is expected to occur on September 18, 2024 (the "Settlement Date").

The consummation of the Tender Offer is subject to, and conditioned upon, the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including, certain financing and general conditions, in each case as described in more detail in the Offer to Purchase. The complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are set forth in the Tender Offer Documents.

All Notes purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer will be cancelled. Following the consummation of the Tender Offer, on or around the Settlement Date, the Issuers expect to satisfy and discharge the indenture governing the Notes (the "Indenture") with respect to any Notes that were not validly tendered (or validly withdrawn) in connection with the Tender Offer and remain outstanding thereafter (the "Non-Tendered Notes") by depositing with the trustee under the Indenture an amount sufficient to redeem such Notes on February 15, 2025 at the then-applicable redemption price of 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the redemption date (the "Redemption Price"), in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. In connection with such satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, the Issuers expect to deliver a notice of redemption on the Settlement Date to redeem all of the outstanding Non-Tendered Notes on February 15, 2025 at the Redemption Price.
