Columbus, Ohio, May 4 – Aegea Saneamento e Participacoes SA wholly owned subsidiary Aegea Finance Sarl announced the early results of its cash tender offer for any and all of its $400 million outstanding 5¾% senior notes due 2024 (Cusips: 00775CAA4, P01014AA0) and its receipt of the requisite consents under a related solicitation, according to a press release.

By the early tender deadline, 5 p.m. ET on May 4, the company said it had received tenders of $340,986,000 principal amount of the notes.

As announced on April 21, Aegea is offering to buy the notes for a total consideration of $1,028.75 per $1,000 note, inclusive of a $30 early tender payment for noteholders who tendered by the early deadline.

The company is simultaneously soliciting consents from noteholders to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default and related provisions contained in the indenture and reduce the minimum required notice period for the redemption of notes to three business days from 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption.

Noteholders may not tender their notes without delivering consents and may not deliver consents without tendering their notes.

Tenders and consents may be withdrawn at any point before the execution of the supplemental indenture, but not thereafter.

The final deadline is 11:59 p.m. ET on May 18.

Aegea intends to redeem any notes that are outstanding after the early deadline at 102.875.

The tender offer is subject to the satisfaction of a financing condition.
