Georgian Oil gets no more tenders for 6 7/8% notes since early date

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, May 4 – JSC Georgian Oil and Gas Corp. said investors had tendered $196,545,000 of its $250 million of 6 7/8% notes due 2017.

Settlement has been set for May 6.

Georgian Oil issued $250 million 6¾% notes due 2021 on April 26, which satisfied the new financing condition, according to a company notice.

The tender ended at 11:59 p.m. ET on May 3, previously extended from 11:59 p.m. ET on April 29. Settlement is expected to occur on May 6.

The tendered amount remains unchanged since 5 p.m. ET on April 22, the extended early deadline, compared with tenders for $129,437,000 of the 6 7/8% notes as of 5 p.m. ET on April 15, the original early tender date.

As previously announced, the company was offering 102.25% of par for notes tendered by the early tender date, which includes an early tender premium of 3%. Holders will also receive accrued interest.

The offer also contained a financing condition, based on whether the company had received enough proceeds from its planned issue of new notes.

On April 19, the company guided its $250 million offering of five-year notes to a yield in the low-to-mid-7% area, as reported.

Georgian Oil was carrying out the tender offer in order to extend its maturity profile and to reduce the cost of its debt.
