(2) | Total Consideration includes the Early Tender Payment. |
The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time on July 5, 2024, unless extended or earlier terminated (the Expiration Time). Holders who validly tender their IEA Notes at or before 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time on June 18, 2024, unless extended or earlier terminated (the Early Tender Deadline) will receive $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of IEA Notes (the Total Consideration), if such IEA Notes are accepted for purchase, which includes an early tender payment of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of IEA Notes (the Early Tender Payment). Holders who validly tender their IEA Notes after the Early Tender Deadline but by the Expiration Time will receive $950 per $1,000 principal amount of IEA Notes (the Offer Consideration) if such IEA Notes are accepted for purchase.
Holders whose tendered IEA Notes are accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest from, and including, the most recent interest payment date for the IEA Notes, to, but not including, the applicable payment date for the IEA Notes in the Tender Offer.
Holders who validly tender their IEA Notes by the Early Tender Deadline (and do not validly withdraw their IEA Notes), and whose IEA Notes are accepted for purchase, are expected to, if IEA so elects, receive payment on June 24, 2024. Holders who validly tender their IEA Notes after the Early Tender Deadline but prior to the Expiration Time, and whose IEA Notes are accepted for purchase, will receive payment promptly after the Expiration Time, which is expected to be July 9, 2024.
As part of the Tender Offer, IEA is soliciting consents (the Consent Solicitation) with respect to the IEA Notes, to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and related events of default (the Proposed Amendments) in the indenture, dated as of August 17, 2021 (the IEA Indenture), among IEA, the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee, which governs the IEA Notes. The Proposed Amendments require the consent of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding IEA Notes (the Requisite Consents).
Holders may not tender their IEA Notes in the Tender Offer without delivering consents or deliver consents without tendering their IEA Notes.
The Tender Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the condition that MasTec successfully completes one or more debt financing transactions, including potential debt securities offerings, in an amount equal to or greater than $600.0 million, on terms acceptable to MasTec. The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon the receipt of the Requisite Consents.
IEA Notes tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer may be validly withdrawn and consents delivered may be validly revoked at any time before 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time on June 18, 2024, unless extended by IEA.
IEA has retained J.P. Morgan to serve as the sole Dealer Manager for the Tender Offer. Questions regarding the Tender Offer may be directed to J.P. Morgan at (212) 834-4818 or toll-free at (866) 834-4666. You may also contact your broker, dealer, commercial bank or trust company or other nominee for assistance.
