By William Gullotti

Buffalo, N.Y., Aug. 12 – Argentina’s Compania Latinoamericana de Infraestructura & Servicios SA (Clisa) said that as of today’s extended expiration time, $322,113,336 in aggregate principal amount, or approximately 97%, of the combined senior notes due 2023 were tendered pursuant to the exchange offer along with the corresponding consents.

$298,351,336 of the outstanding 9˝% senior secured notes due 2023, or approximately 98.7%, were tendered for exchange.

$23,762,000 of the outstanding 9˝% senior unsecured notes due 2023, or approximately 79.3%, were tendered for exchange.

As a result of the level of participation in the exchange offer, Clisa will not be required to enter into an Acuerdo Preventivo Extrajudicial (APE) pursuant to Argentine laws. The company also waives the requirement of the exchange offer requiring holders of old notes to submit instruction letters.

As previously reported, Clisa will exchange the old notes for new step-up senior secured notes due 2027, and the exchange is expected to occur Aug. 17.

The notes are guaranteed by Cliba Ingenieria Urbana SA and Benito Roggio e Hijos SA.
