MasTec, Inc. Announces Results of Early Participation in
Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation
CORAL GABLES, Fla., June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) (MasTec) announced that IEA Energy Services LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of MasTec (IEA), has received valid consents from holders (the Holders) of not less than a majority in principal amount of IEAs 6.625% Senior Notes due 2029 (the IEA Notes) sufficient to adopt the Proposed Amendments (as defined herein) with respect to the IEA Notes Indenture (as defined herein) pursuant to the previously announced cash tender offer for any and all outstanding IEA Notes (the Tender Offer) and the related solicitation of consents from the Holders of the IEA Notes (the Consent Solicitation).
The Tender Offer expires at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 5, 2024 (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the Expiration Time).
The consents received in the Consent Solicitation from the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding IEA Notes (the Requisite Consents) permit IEA to eliminate or modify certain of the covenants, restrictive provisions and events of default (such amendments, as further described in the Offer to Purchase (as defined herein), the Proposed Amendments) in the indenture, dated as of August 17, 2021, governing the IEA Notes (the IEA Notes Indenture). Accordingly, IEA will execute a supplemental indenture (the Supplemental Indenture) to the IEA Notes Indenture to effect the Proposed Amendments. Although the Supplemental Indenture will become effective upon execution thereof, the Proposed Amendments will not become operative unless and until the IEA Notes with respect to which the Requisite Consents have been delivered are paid for.
As of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on June 18, 2024 (the Early Tender Deadline), the principal amount of IEA Notes set forth in the table below had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn (and consents thereby validly delivered and not validly revoked). For IEA Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline, Holders of such IEA Notes are eligible to receive the total consideration (the Total Consideration), which consists of $950 per $1,000 principal amount of such IEA Notes (the Offer Consideration), and an early tender premium, equal to $50 per $1,000 principal amount of such IEA Notes (the Early Tender Payment). To be eligible to receive the Total Consideration, such Holders must (i) have validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) their IEA Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and (ii) validly delivered (and not validly revoked) their consent in the Consent Solicitation at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline.

(1) | For each $1,000 principal amount of IEA Notes, excluding accrued but unpaid interest thereon, which interest will be paid in addition to the Offer Consideration or the Total Consideration, as applicable. |
(2) | Total Consideration includes the Early Tender Payment. |
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, IEA has accepted for purchase all IEA Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and payment of the Total Consideration, plus accrued and unpaid interest, will be made to the Holders of such IEA Notes on June 24, 2024.
The payment date of the Offer Consideration for IEA Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn after the Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Time and accepted for purchase is expected to be July 9, 2024. In accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, the withdrawal deadline was 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 18, 2024. As a result, tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn, and delivered consents may no longer be revoked, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.
Since at least 90% of Holders of the outstanding principal amount of IEA Notes validly tendered and did not validly withdraw such IEA Notes, IEA expects to exercise its right, pursuant to the terms of the IEA Notes Indenture, to redeem the remaining IEA Notes that are outstanding following the Expiration Time. Such redemption will be at a redemption price equal to the Offer Consideration, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. This press release is not a notice of redemption of the IEA Notes and there can be no assurance that the Company will redeem the remaining IEA Notes outstanding.
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.
The complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation are described in the offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement, dated June 5, 2024 (the Offer to Purchase), copies of which may be obtained by contacting D.F. King, the tender agent and information agent in connection with the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, by telephone at (888) 605-1956 (U.S. toll-free) or (212) 269-5550 (banks and brokers), or by email at IEA@dfking.com.
None of MasTec, IEA, the Dealer Manager, the tender agent or the information agent makes any recommendation as to whether Holders should tender their IEA Notes pursuant to the Tender Offer or whether Holders should deliver their consents to the Proposed Amendments, and no one has been authorized by any of them to make such recommendations. Holders must make their own decisions as to whether to tender IEA Notes and deliver consents, and, if so, the principal amount of IEA Notes to tender.
This press release is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or purchase, or a solicitation of an offer purchase, or the solicitation of tenders or consents with respect to, any security. No offer, solicitation or purchase will be made in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or purchase would be unlawful. The Tender Offer is being made solely pursuant to the offering documents referenced above and only to such persons and in such jurisdictions as are permitted under applicable law.
