ShopKo again extends tender for 9¼% notes due 2022
New York, Nov. 29 - ShopKo Stores, Inc. said it has again extended its tender offer for its $100 million of 9¼% senior notes due 2022.
The offer now expires at 9:30 a.m. ET on Dec. 23 instead of 9:30 a.m. ET on Dec. 8. It was previously extended from Nov. 10, Oct. 18, Sept. 29, Sept. 15 and Aug. 24.
As of 5 p.m. ET on Nov. 29, holders had tendered $94.2 million of the notes, unchanged from Nov. 10.
In addition to the extension, ShopKo said it has updated the offer to include terms of its acquisition by Sun Capital Partners.
Also, ShopKo said it intends to waive the condition that the merger close before it completes the tender, although it expects the merger to be completed in December or January.
On Aug. 16, the Green Bay, Wis., retailer said it received the required consents to eliminate restrictive covenants and events of default in the indenture governing the notes.
On Aug. 11, ShopKo upped the payment in the offer to $1,195.00 per $1,000 principal amount from $1,081.86 per $1,000 principal amount, including a consent payment of $50.00 per $1,000 principal amount for those who tendered before the Aug. 15 consent deadline.
The company will also pay accrued interest up to but not including the redemption date.
As already reported, the consent deadline had been extended to 5 p.m. ET on Aug. 15 instead of 5 p.m. ET on July 14 and the expiration was delayed to 5 p.m. ET on Aug. 24 instead of 5 p.m. ET on Aug. 10.
The offer was previously in connection with the acquisition of ShopKo by Badger Retail Holding, Inc. and Badger Acquisition Corp., which are affiliates of Minneapolis-based private equity firm Goldner Hawn Johnson & Morrison Inc. But that transaction has now been terminated and Shopko will now be acquired by an affiliated of Sun Capital Partners.
