Pacific Gas & Electric extends deadlines in tender offer for 4.8% notes
By Jennifer Chiou
New York, June 10 - Pacific Gas & Electric Co. announced that it has pushed back the deadlines in its tender offer for up to $500 million of its outstanding $1 billion of 4.8% senior notes due 2014.
The early tender deadline is now set for 5 p.m. ET on June 11, and the price determination date is now 1 p.m. ET on June 11.
The offer will end at 11:59 p.m. ET on June 25.
Both deadline were delayed by one day.
As of 5 p.m. ET on June 10, the company took in tenders for $457.5 million of the notes.
As reported, the purchase price will be determined by reference to a fixed spread of 20 basis points over the yield based on the bid-side price of the 0.25% U.S. Treasury note due Feb. 28, 2014.
Holders who tender their notes by the early tender date will receive an early tender premium of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount.
The company will also pay accrued interest from the last interest payment date up to but not including the applicable settlement date, which is expected to be June 14 for notes tendered by the early tender date and June 25 for notes tendered after that but before the expiration date.
PG&E said it will prorate acceptance of tendered notes if the amount of notes tendered exceeds the $500 million cap. It also reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to increase the maximum tender amount.
The tender offer is subject to some conditions, including the receipt of funds sufficient to pay the total consideration.
