Ambipar Lux S.à r.l. announces early tender results of cash tender offer for its 9.875% Senior Notes due 2031
SÃO PAULO, Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ambipar Lux S.à r.l. ("Ambipar Lux" or "Offeror") announces the early results as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 4, 2025 (the "Early Tender Date") of its previously announced offer to purchase for cash up to the Maximum Amount (as defined below) (the "Offer") of the outstanding 9.875% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Green Notes" or the "Notes") issued by Ambipar Lux and guaranteed by Ambipar Participações e Empreendimentos S.A., Environmental ESG Participações S.A. and Ambipar Emergency Response (together, the "Guarantors").
The Offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the previously announced offer to purchase dated January 22, 2025 (the "Offer to Purchase").
The Offeror has been advised by the information and tender agent that, as of the Early Tender Date, the amount of Notes set forth in the table below were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. As set forth in the table below, the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase up to the Maximum Amount after giving effect to proration (as described below).
The following table summarizes the early results of the Offer.
Title of | Security | Principal | Maximum | Principal Amount |
Principal Amount |
9.875% | CUSIP: 02319W AA9/ ISIN: US02319WAA99/ | U.S.$750,000,000 | U.S.$200,000,000 | U.S.$453,618,000 | U.S.$197,044,000 |
(1) | The "Maximum Amount" equals a total purchase price, including any applicable Tender Consideration and Early Tender Premium but excluding any applicable Accrued Interest (in each case, as defined below), of U.S.$200.0 million. | |||||||||
(2) | As reported by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the information and tender agent for the Offer, as of the Early Tender Date. | |||||||||
(3) | Because the Maximum Amount was exceeded, the Offeror will accept Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer and will apply pro ration to the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date as described below and under "The Offer—Maximum Amount; Proration" in the Offer to Purchase. |
Since the Maximum Amount has been reached in respect of tenders made prior to the Early Tender Date, no Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase, even if validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. Notes tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date were accepted to purchase on a prorated basis such that Ambipar Lux purchases an aggregate principal amount of Notes that results in the total purchase price, including any applicable Tender Consideration and Early Tender Premium but excluding any applicable Accrued Interest (in each case, as defined below), not exceeding the Maximum Amount in the Offer. All Notes not accepted as a result of proration will be rejected from the Offer and promptly returned to the tendering Holder.
Holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Date, in the manner described in the previously announced Offer to Purchase, will be eligible to receive the Total Consideration, which includes the Early Tender Payment, plus Accrued Interest.
The Total Consideration for each US$1,000.00 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer will be US$1,015.00 (the "Total Consideration"), which includes an early tender premium of U.S.$30.00 (the "Early Tender Premium") and the consideration of US$985.00 (the "Tender Consideration").
Holders whose Notes are accepted for payment as of the Early Tender Date pursuant to the Offer will be paid accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes ("Accrued Interest") up to, but excluding, the Early Settlement Date. The Offeror will not pay Accrued Interest for any periods following the Early Settlement Date in respect of any Notes accepted in the Offer as of the Early Tender Date. Accrued Interest on Notes accepted in the Offer as of the Early Tender Date will cease to accrue on the Early Settlement Date. The Early Settlement Date is expected to be February 6, 2025, or as promptly as practicable thereafter (the "Early Settlement Date").
Withdrawal rights with respect to tendered Notes terminated on the Early Tender Date. Accordingly, following the Early Tender Date, Notes validly tendered, including Notes tendered prior to the Early Tender Date and Notes tendered thereafter, may no longer be validly withdrawn except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by applicable law.

King & Co., Inc. to serve as information and tender agent for the Offer. The full details of the Offer are included in the previously announced Offer to Purchase.
