SÃO PAULO, Jan. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Coruripe Netherlands B.V. (the "Offeror"), a private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) organized under the laws of the Netherlands, announces that it is amending the terms of its cash tender offer that commenced on January 2, 2025 (the "Tender Offer") for any and all of the outstanding US$300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 10.000% senior secured notes due 2027 (the "Notes") issued by the Offeror and guaranteed by S.A. Usina Coruripe Açúcar e Álcool ("Usina Coruripe"), GTW Agronegócios S.A. ("GTW"), R.C.W. Agronegócios Ltda. ("R.C.W."), S.P.F. Agronegócios Ltda. ("S.P.F.") and V.M.W. Agronegócios Ltda. ("V.M.W." and, together with Usina Coruripe, GTW, R.C.W. and S.P.F., the "Guarantors"). Terms not otherwise defined in this press release are defined in the Offer to Purchase.
The Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation, subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated January 2, 2025 (the "Offer to Purchase"), are hereby amended to increase the consideration per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer as set forth in the table below (the "Tender Offer Consideration"). As a result of the increase in the Tender Offer Consideration, and in respect of the Notes that are validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline (defined below), the new total consideration for the Notes is US$1,010 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the "Total Consideration"). There is no change to the Early Tender Payment. These amended terms reflect discussions with Holders representing over 50% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding.
The following table sets forth the amended pricing terms of the Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation:
Description of Notes | CUSIP/ISIN | Outstanding Principal Amount of Notes(1) | Tender Offer Consideration(2) | + | Early Tender Payment(3) | = | Total Consideration(4) |
10.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 | 144A: 22088D AA8 / US22088DAA81 Reg S: N2322C AA3 / USN2322CAA38 | US$300,000,000 | US$980.00 | US$30.00 | US$1,010.00 |
(1) | As of the date of the Offer to Purchase, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Notes is US$300,000,000, of which US$11,086,000 is held by the Offeror, the Guarantors or their affiliates and is, therefore, not subject of the Consent Solicitation. |
(2) | The amount to be paid for each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase. In addition, the Offeror will pay accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase from the most recent interest payment date on the Notes to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date for such Notes ("Accrued Interest"). |
(3) | The additional amount to be paid for each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase, included in the Total Consideration. |
(4) | The total amount to be paid for each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and accepted for purchase. The Total Consideration equals the Tender Offer Consideration plus the Early Tender Payment. In addition, Accrued Interest will be paid. |
In connection with the amended pricing terms of the Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation, the Offeror also announces that it is extending (i) the Early Tender Deadline to tender Notes and deliver Consents in order to be eligible to receive the Total Consideration plus Accrued Interest on the Early Settlement Date to 5:00 p.m., (New York City time), on January 16, 2025 (the "Early Tender Deadline"), (ii) the Withdrawal Deadline to validly withdraw tendered Notes and revoke delivered Consents to 5:00 p.m., (New York City time) on January 16, 2025 (the "Withdrawal Deadline") and (iii) the Expiration Time to tender Notes and deliver Consents in order to be eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration plus Accrued Interest on the Final Settlement Date to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on February 3, 2025 (the "Expiration Time").
Other than the Tender Offer Consideration, the Total Consideration, the Early Tender Deadline, the Withdrawal Deadline and the Expiration Time, the terms of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation remain unchanged.
