SANTIAGO, Chile, Jan. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- CORPORACIÓN NACIONAL DEL COBRE DE CHILE (the "Company" or "CODELCO") announced today the final results as of 11:59 p.m. (New York Time) on January 5, 2021 (the "Maximum Tender Expiration Date") of its previously announced offer to purchase for cash (the "Maximum Tender Offer") up to the Aggregate Maximum Principal Amount (as described below) of its outstanding 4.500% Notes due 2025 and 3.625% Notes due 2027 (collectively, the "Maximum Tender Offer Notes"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated December 7, 2020 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Offer to Purchase").
The "Aggregate Maximum Principal Amount" with respect to the Maximum Tender Offer is U.S.$700,000,000.
CODELCO has been advised by the tender agent that, as of the Maximum Tender Expiration Date, the amounts set forth in the table below of each series of Maximum Tender Offer Notes had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn. The amounts set forth in the table below include the Maximum Tender Offer Notes that were validly tendered as of 5:00 P.M., New York Time on December 18, 2020 (the "Early Tender Date") and previously accepted for purchase by the Company. CODELCO intends to accept for purchase all additional Maximum Tender Offer Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn after the Early Tender Date and at or prior to the Maximum Tender Expiration Date.
As previously announced, the "MTO Total Consideration" payable per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of each series of Maximum Tender Offer Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase as of the Early Tender Date was determined by the Dealer Managers (as defined below) based on a spread over a reference US Treasury Security, as set forth in the table below, in accordance with standard market practice as of 2:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on December 18, 2020. The "Late Tender Offer Consideration" payable by CODELCO per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of each series of Maximum Tender Offer Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date and at or prior to the Expiration Date will be equal to the MTO Total Consideration for such series, minus the Early Tender Payment for such series, as set forth in the table below.
Title of Security | CUSIP and ISIN | Principal Amount Accepted for Purchase | Early Tender Payment (Per U.S. $1,000 principal amount) | Fixed Spread (bps) | Reference U.S. Treasury Security | Reference Yield (Determined on December 18, 2020 at 2:00 p.m.) | MTO Total Consideration (Per U.S. $1,000 principal amount) | Late Tender Offer Consideration (Per U.S. $1,000 principal amount) |
4.500% Notes Due 2025 | CUSIP: P3143N AW4 | U.S.$397,499,000 | U.S.$30 | 73 bps | 0.375% U.S. Treasury Notes due November 30, 2025 | 0.377% | U.S.$1,156.03 | U.S.$1,126.03 |
3.625% Notes Due 2027 | CUSIP: 21987BAW8 | U.S.$232,154,000 | U.S.$30 | 69 bps | 0.875% U.S. Treasury Notes due November 15, 2030 | 0.940% | U.S.$1,120.04 | U.S.$1,090.04 |
It is anticipated that payment for the additional Maximum Tender Offer Notes that were validly tendered and accepted for purchase after the Early Tender Date and as of the Maximum Tender Expiration Date will be made on January 7, 2021, the second business day after the Maximum Tender Expiration Date.
