Specifically, investors had tendered €182,475,000 of the 4.5% notes and €119,766,000 of the 4.375% notes.

A2A accepted for purchase all of the tendered 4.5% notes and €70.02 million of the 4.375% notes using a proration factor of 60%, according to a company update.

As announced Nov. 28, the company was tendering for a maximum amount of its €750 million of 4.5% notes and its €500 million of 4.375% notes.

Pricing for the 4.5% notes will be set using a purchase yield of 0%. Pricing was scheduled for 8 a.m. ET on Dec. 2. The purchase price will be €1,134.01 per €1,000 principal amount assuming a settlement date of Dec. 6.
