SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Zions Bancorporation ("Zions" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ZION) announced today that, pursuant to its previously announced tender offers to purchase for cash the notes listed in the tables below, $236,143,000 in aggregate principal amount of Any and All Notes subject to the Any and All Tender Offer (each, as defined below) were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Any and All Tender Offer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 23, 2014 (the "Any and All Expiration Time"), according to the information provided by Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the depositary and information agent for the tender offers, as more fully set forth below. All of the Any and All Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Any and All Expiration Time have been accepted for purchase. Zions expects to make payment for the accepted Any and All Notes tomorrow, September 24, 2014.

The tender offers consist of two separate offers (each an "Offer", and collectively, the "Offers") on the terms set forth in the offer to purchase dated September 15, 2014 and the related letter of transmittal (the "Offer Documents"), with (i) the tender offer (the "Any and All Tender Offer") to purchase any and all of the outstanding series of notes listed in the first table below (the "Any and All Notes"), and (ii) the tender offer (the "Waterfall Tender Offer") to purchase up to the Tender Cap (as defined below) of the two series of notes listed in the second table below (collectively, the "Waterfall Notes"). Zions refers investors to the Offer Documents for the complete terms of the Offers.

The maximum aggregate principal amount of the Waterfall Notes to be accepted for purchase in connection with the Waterfall Tender Offer has been set at $263,857,000 (the "Tender Cap"). Such Tender Cap is equal to $500,000,000 less $236,143,000, the aggregate principal amount of the Any and All Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the Any and All Tender Offer as described above.

If any Waterfall Notes are validly tendered such that the aggregate principal amount of such tendered Waterfall Notes exceeds the Tender Cap, the Waterfall Notes will be purchased in accordance with the acceptance priority levels set forth in the second table above, and may be subject to proration as described in the Offer Documents.

As previously announced, the Waterfall Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 10, 2014, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the "Waterfall Expiration Time"). Holders of Waterfall Notes must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Waterfall Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 29, 2014, unless extended or earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the "Early Tender Time") to be eligible to receive the applicable total consideration for the Waterfall Notes, which is inclusive of an amount in cash equal to the applicable early tender premium set forth in the second table above. Holders of Waterfall Notes who validly tender their Waterfall Notes after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the Waterfall Expiration Time will be eligible only to receive the applicable late tender consideration per $1,000 principal amount of the applicable series of Waterfall Notes, which is equal to the applicable total consideration less the applicable early tender premium.

Waterfall Notes may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to the Early Tender Time, but not thereafter.

The total consideration and late tender consideration with respect to the Waterfall Notes will be determined in the manner described in the Offer Documents at 2:00 p.m. New York City time, on September 29, 2014, unless extended or earlier terminated. Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on Waterfall Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the date Zions makes payment for such Waterfall Notes.
