Paratus Energy Services Announces Tender Offer Results
HAMILTON, Bermuda — Recently, Paratus Energy Services Ltd., an industry leader in energy services, disclosed the results of its cash tender offer for up to $17,607,991 in Senior Secured Notes due in 2026. This pivotal announcement reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to optimizing its capital structure while ensuring the interests of its stakeholders.
Details of the Tender Offer
The tender offer, which was initially detailed in an announcement on October 15, 2025, aimed to purchase these notes at a premium price of 103% of their principal amount. The offer was governed by an Amended and Restated Indenture dated January 20, 2022, which was an integral part of this transaction.
In accordance with the terms specified in the Offer to Purchase, withdrawal rights for the notes tendered expired on November 3, 2025. Following thorough evaluations, the tender offer officially concluded on November 14, 2025. All conditions detailed in the Offer to Purchase were duly fulfilled or waived by Paratus at the Expiration Time.
Proration and Acceptance of Notes
Upon the conclusion of the tender offer, it was reported by Global Bondholder Services Corporation that a total of $159,165,392 in principal amount of notes had been validly tendered and not withdrawn. However, as this amount surpassed the purchase cap, Paratus decided to accept the tendered notes on a prorated basis, applying a proration rate of roughly 0.1106. This means that only a fraction of the notes submitted would be accepted for purchase.
Holders of the notes who successfully tendered their holdings were eligible to receive the Tender Offer Consideration for those notes accepted. Moreover, these holders will be compensated with accrued and unpaid interest, calculated from the last interest payment date up until the purchase date, which is set to occur no later than November 19, 2025.
Financing the Tender Offer
Paratus anticipates funding this purchase through the net cash proceeds derived from its strategic Archer Transaction, which was earlier announced on September 25, 2025. This maneuver showcases the company's proactive approach towards maintaining liquidity and effectively managing its indebtedness. The principal amount currently stands at about $215.5 million, and following the tender offer, the remaining balance will adjust to approximately $197.9 million.
Understanding the Tender Offer Process
This announcement serves as an official public declaration of the tender offer results, aligning with the requirements laid out in the Indenture. Individuals looking for more information regarding the tender offer or needing assistance with the process can contact Global Bondholder Services Corporation directly via telephone.
Why Investors Should Stay Informed
Holders of the notes are encouraged to consult with their financial intermediaries for detailed information regarding participation in this tender offer. It’s crucial for noteholders to stay updated about the timeline and specific requirements to make informed decisions regarding their investments.
