By Jennifer Chiou
New York, March 7 - JSC National Atomic Co. Kazatomprom announced the successful close to its solicitation of consents for its $500 million of 6.25% notes due 2015.
As previously reported, the company was seeking to waive terms in the notes that prevent it from disposing of any assets for which it receives $10 million or more unless it receives at least fair market value as far as that provision applies to a possible transfer of the Art Palace for Schoolchildren in Astana City.
Holders who delivered consents by the early deadline will receive $2.50 per $1,000 principal amount of notes. Holders who consented after the early deadline but before the expiration will receive $1.00 per $1,000 principal amount. Settlement is set for March 9.
The early solicitation deadline was 10 a.m. ET on Feb. 24, and the expiration was 10 a.m. ET on March 5. A meeting to consider the change was held on March 7.
In order to make the change, Kazatomprom needed the support of at least 75% of the votes cast at the meeting and those had to come from two or more holders representing more than 50% of the outstanding notes.
The solicitation agents were J.P. Morgan Securities Ltd. (+44 20 7779 2468 or +44 20 7325 4851, corp_syndicate@jpmorgan.com or emea_lm@jpmorgan.com) and Royal Bank of Scotland plc (+44 20 7075 3781 or +44 20 7085 4634, liabilitymanagement@rbs.com).
