Universal City Development Partners, Ltd. (d/b/a “Universal Orlando”) announced today that UCDP Finance, Inc. and it (collectively, the “Issuers”), have completed the cash tender offer for their outstanding 11 3/4% senior notes due 2010 (the “Notes”). The tender offer, which commenced on October 23, 2009, expired at 11:59 p.m., prevailing eastern time, on November 20, 2009 (the “Expiration Time”).
As previously announced, at the termination of the consent solicitation, which occurred at 5:00 p.m., prevailing eastern time, on November 5, 2009 (the “Consent Solicitation Deadline”), the Issuers had received tenders and consents from holders of $391,313,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, representing 78.263% of the outstanding Notes. On November 6, 2009, the Issuers accepted for payment, and paid for,
all Notes tendered prior to the Consent Solicitation Deadline.
Approximately 78.263% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes were validly tendered during the tender offer period. As of the Expiration Time, approximately $108.7 million in aggregate principal amount of the Notes remained outstanding.
As previously announced, the Issuers received the requisite consents from holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding with respect to the Proposed Amendments (as defined in the Tender Offer Documents) to the indenture (the “Indenture”) governing the Notes. Consequently, on November 5, 2009, the Issuers and the trustee executed a supplemental indenture to the Indenture which eliminated substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default. The supplemental indenture is binding on all non-tendered Notes.
Notes that were validly tendered and accepted have been canceled and will no longer be deemed to be outstanding.
J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated acted as dealer managers in connection with the tender offer and solicitation agents in connection with the consent solicitation. Questions regarding the tender offer or consent solicitation may be directed to J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. at (212) 270-1477 (collect).
D.F. King & Co., Inc. acted as the Information Agent for the tender offer and consent solicitation.
This announcement shall not constitute an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. The tender offer and consent solicitation were made only through and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Tender Offer Documents and related materials.
