Brazil’s Raizen begins tender offer for up to $200 million 7% notes

By Marisa Wong

Morgantown, W.Va., Feb. 22 – Raizen Energia SA’s wholly owned subsidiary, Raizen Energy Finance Ltd., said it has begun a cash tender offer to purchase up to $200 million of its $400 million outstanding 7% senior notes due 2017.

The offer will expire at 11:59 p.m. ET on March 18.

Holders who tender their notes by 5 p.m. ET on March 4, the early tender time, will be eligible to receive the total consideration of $1,032.50 per $1,000 principal amount. The total consideration includes a $30 early tender payment.

Holders tendering after the early tender time will only be eligible to receive the tender consideration of $1,002.50 per $1,000 principal amount, or the total consideration less the early tender payment.

The company will also pay accrued interest to the settlement date, which is expected to occur on March 22.

Tenders may be withdrawn prior to 5 p.m. ET on March 4.

If the aggregate principal amount of notes tendered by the expiration date exceeds the offer cap, Raizen intends to accept notes on a pro rata basis.

The company also reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase the maximum tender amount at any time.

Notes may be tendered and will be accepted for payment only in denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of that.

The offer is not conditioned on any minimum participation or on obtaining any financing.
