Los Angeles, March 22 – Bombardier Inc. has begun a tender offer to purchase for cash up to $400 million aggregate purchase price (exclusive of accrued interest) of its $1,000,996,000 outstanding 7 1/8% senior notes due 2026 (Cusip: 097751BV2, C10602BJ5), according to a press release.

By the end of the day on Friday, the maximum purchase amount was upsized to $550 million, as noted in a second press release during the day.

The company is offering a total consideration of $1,017.50 per $1,000 principal amount. The total consideration includes an early tender premium of $30 per $1,000 of notes tendered by the early tender date.

Holders tendering after the early tender date will only be eligible to receive the tender offer consideration of $987.50 per $1,000 principal amount.

The company will also pay accrued interest.

If the offer is oversubscribed by the early tender date, holders tendering after the early deadline will not have any of their notes accepted for purchase.
