Chile begins one-day tender offer for some 3 7/8% notes and 3¼% notes

By Susanna Moon

Chicago, Dec. 3 – Chile said it began a tender offer for a maximum amount of its $1 billion 3 7/8% global notes due 2020 and $1 billion 3¼% global notes due 2021.

The tender offer began at 8 a.m. ET on Dec. 3 and will end at 4 p.m. ET the same day, with settlement set for Dec. 11.

The tender cap will be determined later, according to a press release.

Pricing will be set using the bid-side price of the reference U.S. Treasury security plus a fixed spread as follows:

• 3 7/8% notes will be priced using 1.5% Treasury notes due Nov. 30, 2019 plus 65 basis points; and

• Pricing for 3¼% notes will be based on 2.25% Treasury notes due Nov. 15, 2024 plus 25 bps.

The hypothetical purchase price for each $1,000 principal amount was set at $1,086.67 for the 3 7/8% notes and $1,044.45 for the 3¼% notes, using the bid-side price of the reference U.S. Treasury security at 2 p.m. ET on Dec. 2.

Holders also will receive accrued interest up to but excluding the settlement date.

Tender orders must be submitted in principal amounts of at least $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 after that.

The tender offer is not conditioned upon minimum tenders but is conditioned on the pricing of a dollar notes offering.
