For the 6 1/8% notes, the company is offering 100.5 for notes tendered by the early deadline and par for notes tendered after that time but before the offer expiration.
The early deadline was 11 a.m. ET on Sept. 24, and the tender offer will expire at 11 a.m. ET on Oct. 1.
Holders will also receive accrued interest up to but excluding the settlement date, which will be Oct. 6.
Pinafore is a subsidiary of Pinafore Acquisitions Ltd., a newly formed entity created to acquire Tomkins at the direction of Onex Corp. and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.
The company previously said the acquisition was not conditioned on any minimum number of notes being purchased in the tender offer but that the tender offer was conditioned on the acquisition becoming effective and the subsequent funding of certain third-party debt.
