California Steel starts tender for 8½% notes

New York, March 8 - California Steel Industries Inc. said it has begun a cash tender offer and consent solicitation for its 8½% senior notes due 2009.

The company is offering to pay $1,046.25 per $1,000 principal amount of notes tendered by the consent deadline of 5 p.m. ET on March 19.

Holders who tender after the consent deadline but before the expiration date of midnight ET on April 2 will receive $1,016.25 per $1,000 principal amount.

In both cases holders will also receive accrued interest up to but not including the date of payment.

Holders who tender will be required to consent to amendments to the note indenture that will eliminate substantially all the restrictive covenants. Consents may not be given without tendering.

The Fontana, Calif., steelmaker said the tender offer is subject to various conditions including the receipt of tenders of a majority of the principal amount of the notes outstanding and the receipt of sufficient senior financing on acceptable terms.
