Details of the Tender Offer
The tender offer was structured to accept all outstanding 2027 Notes, and at the deadline, a noteworthy participation was logged. A total amount of $0.03 million of the 2027 Notes was also tendered through guaranteed delivery procedures. This collective effort resulted in a grand total of roughly $394.8 million out of the $400 million aggregate principal amount of 2027 Notes being tendered.
Settlement Procedures and Future Implications
Amsted has communicated its intent to process all validly tendered 2027 Notes following the expiration of the offer. The anticipated settlement date for these accepted Notes is scheduled for March 6, and holders will receive $1,000.68 for each $1,000 principal amount of 2027 Notes submitted, along with accumulated interest up to the settlement date. This indicates a favorable return for investors opting to participate in the tender offer.
Conditions for the Tender Offer
This tender offer is contingent upon meeting several predefined conditions outlined in the Offer to Purchase. One critical requirement includes Amsted securing sufficient funds, specifically a minimum of $400 million from a debt financing arrangement. This financing must be arranged under terms acceptable to Amsted to fulfill the tender offer's financial commitments.
Redemption Notice for Unoffered Notes
In alignment with the governing indenture for the 2027 Notes, AMSTED has also issued a redemption notification concerning all Notes that were not included in the tender offer. The set redemption date has been established for March 24. This proactive measure signifies the company’s strategic approach to managing its outstanding debt and ensuring that all stakeholders are informed of necessary actions.
Role of the Dealer Manager

Information regarding the Offer to Purchase and related documents can be requested from D.F. King & Co., Inc., the designated Tender Agent, ensuring that all interested parties have access to critical information.
Amsted's Commitment to Transparency
