OMI solicits tenders, consents for all 7 5/8% notes
By Laura Lutz
Des Moines, June 13 - OMI Corp. launched a tender offer and consent solicitation for all of its outstanding 7 5/8% senior notes due 2013.
The offer is being conducted following a merger of OMI into Omaha, Inc., after which Omaha changed its name to OMI Corp.
The proposed amendments to the note indenture would eliminate some covenants and events of default and modify some other provisions.
Adoption of the amendments requires consents from holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding principal amount of the notes.
The consent deadline is set for 5 p.m. ET on June 26. The offer is expected to expire at 11:59 p.m. ET on July 11.
For each $1,000 principal amount of notes tendered by the consent deadline, the company will pay an amount based on the yield to Dec. 1, 2008 of the of the yield to maturity of the 4 5/8% U.S. Treasury due Nov 30, 2008 plus 50 basis points minus accrued interest, calculated at 2 p.m. ET on the 10th business day before the offer expiration date.
The payout includes a consent fee of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of notes. Notes tendered after the consent deadline will receive the same amount, less the consent fee.
The company will also pay accrued interest for the notes.
Holders may not tender notes without submitting consents.
Settlement of the offer depends on receipt of consents from holders of at least two-thirds of the notes, among other conditions.
The settlement date for notes tendered before the consent deadline is expected to be June 27 and for notes tendered after the deadline, July 12.
