Chicago, April 27 – Unibail-Rodamco SE said investors had tendered €282,274,000 of notes from several series in the offer that ran until 11 a.m. ET on April 26.

Unibail-Rodamco plans to accept all of the tendered notes for purchase, with settlement on April 29, according to a company announcement.

As announced April 20, the company launched a tender offer for any and all of two series of notes and a maximum offer for several more note series.

In the maximum offer, Unibail was offering to purchase for cash up to an aggregate maximum tender amount of €500 million less the aggregate principal amount of the first priority notes purchased and, for the third-priority notes, of the first priority notes and the second priority notes accepted for purchase.

The company was offering to purchase any and all of the first priority notes, and investors had tendered the following amounts:

• €10,185,000 of the €700 million (€643,322,000 outstanding) 3.875% notes due Nov. 5, 2020 with a tender price of 117.512; and

• €142,989,000 of the €700 million 2.5% notes due June 12, 2023 with pricing to be set at 9 a.m. ET on April 27 using the yield of the June 2023 notes interpolated reference rate plus 25 basis points.

The second priority notes are as follows:

• €16,694,000 of the €750 million (€457,138,000 outstanding) 3% notes due March 22, 2019 with a tender price of 108.688; and

• €11.95 million of the €750 million (€430.33 million outstanding) 2.375% notes due Feb. 25, 2021 with a tender price of 111.46.

Finally, the company also is offering to buy back some of its third priority notes, as follows:

• €49.7 million of the €500 million (€244,059,000 outstanding) 1.875% notes due Oct. 8, 2018 with a tender price of 104.58.

The company was tendering for the notes to optimize its debt maturity profile “in view of current market conditions,” according to a previous release.

For the first priority notes only, a holder that subscribes for new notes in addition to tendering the first priority notes may receive priority in the allocation of the new notes, the company said.

To receive priority in the allocation of new notes, holders of the first priority notes may contact Ana Chisacof, Merrill Lynch International, at +44 207 996 1103.

If less than €100,000 principal amount of the first priority notes is tendered, no priority allocation amount will be given for an electronic instruction notice.

Electronic instruction notices must be submitted for a minimum principal amount of €100,000 and in integrals of €1,000 after that for the June 2023 notes, the February 2021 notes, the March 2019 notes, the June 2017 notes, the December 2017 notes, the August 2018 notes and the October 2018 notes and for €50,000 and in integrals of €1,000 after that for the November 2020 notes.
