By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Sept. 20 - Marubeni Caribbean Power Holdings, Inc. said it extended the cash tender offer for Mirant Trinidad Investments, LLC's $100 million of 7.017% notes due 2016 until 5 p.m. ET on Sept. 24.

The offer was extended from midnight ET on Sept. 19.

The company said it will pay $1,011.25 for each $1,000 principal amount of the 7.017% notes tendered. Holders will also receive accrued interest to the purchase date.

Marubeni announced the start of the cash change-of-control offer on Aug. 23 for the 7.017% notes and the $180 million of 11% senior notes due 2016 issued by Jamaica Public Service Co. Ltd. and Mirant JPSCO Finance Ltd.

Marubeni acquired Mirant Trinidad and Jamaica Public on Aug. 8.

The change-of-control offer is being made by Marubeni JPS (Cayman Islands) Finance Ltd., a limited-purpose entity and a subsidiary of Marubeni Caribbean formed for this purpose.

The offer for the 11% notes is expected to end at 5 p.m. ET on Sept. 20.

Tendering 11% noteholders will receive 101% plus accrued interest up to the purchase date.

On Sept. 6, the company announced that it terminated the consent solicitation for Mirant Trinidad's 7.017% notes.

The company had been soliciting consents to amend the indenture of the 7.017% notes to eliminate certain restrictive covenants and events of default and to modify the provisions.

The consent deadline was to have expired at 5 p.m. ET on Sept. 5.

Marubeni JPS previously said it intends to finance the offer with proceeds from a new $110 million credit facility that it has entered into with a group of lenders.

ABN Amro Inc., Calyon Securities (USA) Inc., ING Financial Markets LLC and Mizuho Securities USA Inc. are the dealer managers.

D.F. King & Co., Inc. is the information agent (800 290-6429).
