New York, Dec. 30 - Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. said it received the required consents for its $100 million of 6.95% notes due 2007.

As of the consent deadline at 5 p.m. ET on Dec. 30, Omega said it received tenders from holders of 79.3% of the 6.95% notes.

In addition, the company's board authorized the Jan. 18 redemption of all outstanding notes that are not tendered. Omega said it will redeem the notes at $1,066.13 per $1,000 principal amount.

The tender offer is subject to conditions including the receipt of sufficient consents to amend the indenture and the completion of an offering of new notes. Omega said it will use the proceeds of its $175 million offering of 7% senior notes due 2016 for the offer.

The company launched the offer on Dec. 16.
