Muthoot pays $226.13 million in early settlement of 4.4% notes due 2023

By Mary-Katherine Stinson

Lexington, Ky., April 14 – India’s Muthoot Finance Ltd. detailed the early settlement of its March 28 tender offer to purchase for cash up to $225 million of its $550 million 4.4% senior secured notes due 2023 (ISIN: US62828M2B67, US62828L2B85).

As previously reported, holders had tendered an aggregate principal amount of notes that exceeded the maximum purchase amount as of the early tender deadline at 5 p.m. ET on April 10.

Therefore, the company applied a scaling factor of 69.58% to the early tendered notes and accepted for purchase $225 million aggregate principal amount of early tendered notes, representing about 40.91% of the total outstanding principal.

The company paid a total of $226,127,500 comprised of the early tender consideration and accrued interest and additional amounts. The company was offering to pay $1,000 for each $1,000 of notes tendered prior to the early tender deadline plus accrued interest.

After cancellation of the accepted early tendered notes on April 13, $325 million principal amount remains outstanding.

The offer expires at 5 p.m. ET on April 25. However, because the issuer already accepted notes up to the offer cap as of the early tender deadline, further tenders will not be accepted for purchase.

Those tendering notes after the early deadline would have been eligible to receive $980 per $1,000 of notes plus accrued interest.
