Tenneco is launching this tender offer and consent solicitation as part of a transaction designed to reduce the company’s interest expense, extend the maturity of some of its debt and to amend the indenture for the Notes to more closely align debt covenants among the company’s various tranches of notes.
The total consideration per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 15, 2007, unless extended (the "Consent Date"), will be calculated based on the present value on the payment date of the sum of $1,051.25 (the earliest redemption price for the Notes on June 15, 2008, which is the earliest redemption date for the Notes), plus interest payments through June 15, 2008, determined using a discount factor equal to the yield on the price determination date of the 5-1/8% U.S. Treasury Note due June 30, 2008, plus a fixed spread of 50 basis points. The price determination date will be 2:00 p.m., New York City time, at least ten business days prior to the expiration date. The payment date will be promptly after the expiration date.
The tender offer is scheduled to expire at midnight, New York City time, on November 30, 2007, unless extended. Accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the payment date will be paid on all Notes tendered and accepted for payment.
The tender offer is for a maximum of $230,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes (the "Maximum Tender Amount"). In the event that the tender offer is oversubscribed, tenders will be accepted on a pro rata basis. Tenneco reserves the right, but is not obligated, to increase the Maximum Tender Amount.
The total consideration includes a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes. Only Notes that are tendered on or prior to the Consent Date and that are accepted for payment will receive the Consent Payment. The Company is soliciting consents to conform certain covenants in the indenture governing the Notes to make them no more restrictive than comparable provisions applicable to the Company’s 8.625% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014, including with respect to the incurrence of indebtedness and the absence of limitation on issuances and transfers of restricted subsidiary stock and to make other minor or related modifications.
The tender offer is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver prior to the acceptance date of customary conditions, including the following: (i) Tenneco having received from the offer and sale of new indebtedness, on terms and conditions acceptable to it in its sole discretion, funds sufficient to consummate the offer; and (ii) the receipt of the requisite consents required to implement the proposed amendments to the indenture from holders of the senior secured notes.
