Brand Services delays 12% notes tender deadline for sixth time

By Laura Lutz

Des Moines, Aug. 31 - Brand Services, Inc. for the sixth time extended its tender offer for its $150 million of 12% senior subordinated notes due 2012, this time to 5 p.m. ET on Sept. 22.

The expiration, originally set for June 7, had already been extended five times, to June 28, July 13, July 21, Aug. 1 and Sept. 15.

The pricing date has also been moved, to 10 a.m. ET Sept. 8, from Aug. 31. Before that, pricing was set for June 7, June 28 and July 18.

As of 5 p.m. ET on Aug. 30, holders of 98.67% of the securities had tendered their notes, unchanged from the consent deadline of 5 p.m. ET on May 22, when it received enough consents to amend the note indenture.

Brand Services announced the tender offer and consent solicitation on May 9. On May 16, it tightened the spread in the payout.

As revised, for each $1,000 principal amount of notes, the company is offering the present value of cash flows to the first call date of Oct. 15, 2007, when the securities are callable at $1,060 per $1,000 principal amount, discounted using a rate of 50 basis points - reduced from 62.5 bps - over the yield of the 4% U.S. Treasury note due Sept. 30, 2007.

The total includes a consent payment of $30.00 per $1,000. Only holders who tendered by the consent deadline will receive this sum.

Brand Services will also pay accrued interest up to but excluding the payment date.

The consent solicitation is to amend the note indenture to eliminate nearly all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default.

Completion of the tender is subject to completion of Brand Services' initial public offering.
