Tacoma, Wash., April 6 - Aeroflex Inc. plans to redeem up to 35% of its $225 million principal amount of 11¾% senior notes due 2015 using the proceeds from parent company Aeroflex Holding Corp.'s initial public offering of stock, according to an S-1 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The company will also prepay up to 35% of its 11¾% senior subordinated unsecured term loans due 2015. There was $156.3 million principal amount of these loans outstanding as of Dec. 31, including the accrued paid-in-kind interest.

In both cases, the company will pay 111.75% of par plus accrued interest.

The redemption and prepayment will be made under the equity clawback provisions of the notes and loans.
