Dana Holding Corporation Announces Tender Offer for 2019 Notes
November 17, 2014
Maumee, Ohio, November 17, 2014/PRNewswire/ — Dana Holding Corporation (NYSE: DAN) (“Dana”) today announced the commencement of a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) for up to $360,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.500% Notes due 2019 (CUSIP No. 235825AA4) (the “Notes”), upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated November 17, 2014.
The Offer is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of December 15, 2014 (unless extended) (the “Expiration Time”).
Holders of Notes (“Holders”) who validly tender their Notes on or prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of December 1, 2014 (the “Early Tender Time”) will be eligible to receive the “Total Consideration” of $1,041.25 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered, which includes the “Early Tender Payment” of $30 per $1,000 of the Notes. Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Time but on or before the Expiration Time will be eligible to receive the “Tender Offer Consideration” which is equal to the “Total Consideration” minus the “Early Tender Payment.”
Dana’s obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, Notes validly tendered is subject to certain conditions, including the consummation of a new debt financing, the proceeds of which will be used to purchase Notes tendered in the Offer. Dana may waive any of the conditions if they are not satisfied.
In connection with the consummation of the Offer, pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the Notes, Dana currently intends to redeem $40,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes at a redemption price of 103.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, Dana reserves the right, following the Early Tender Time, to accept for purchase prior to the final settlement date all Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Time (an “Early Settlement Election”). Dana will announce whether it intends to exercise the Early Settlement Election following the Early Tender Time.
If Dana exercises the Early Settlement Election, we currently expect the settlement date for Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time to be promptly after the exercise of the Early Settlement Election. The settlement date for Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time, and accepted by Dana for purchase in the Offer will occur promptly after the Expiration Time. Notes tendered may be validly withdrawn at any time prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of December 1, 2014, but not thereafter. In addition to the Total Consideration or Tender Offer Consideration, Holders whose Notes are accepted for payment in the Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the applicable settlement date.
Dana reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase the $360,000,000 tender cap at any time, subject to compliance with applicable law.
Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citi”) is acting as sole dealer manager for the Offer. For additional information regarding the terms of the Offer, please contact Citi at (800) 558-3745 (U.S. toll-free) or (212) 723-6106. Requests for documents may be directed to D.F. King & Co., Inc., which is acting as the tender and information agent for the Offer, at (866) 745-0268 (toll-free) or (212) 269-5550 (collect for Banks and Brokers).
None of Dana, the dealer manager or the tender and information agent make any recommendations as to whether Holders should tender their Notes pursuant to the Offer, and no one has been authorized by any of them to make such recommendations. Holders must make their own decisions as to whether to tender their Notes, and, if so, the principal amount of Notes to tender.
This press release does not constitute an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell Notes or other securities, nor shall there be any purchase of Notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or purchase would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The Offer is being made solely by the Offer to Purchase dated November 17, 2014. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which, or to any persons to whom, such offering, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. Any offer of concurrently offered securities will be made only by means of a prospectus and/or prospectus supplement.
