New York, Oct. 25 - Invensys plc announced it set pricing for its tender offer for some of its dollar-denominated 9 7/8% notes due 2011.

The company will also now pay up to $197 million, increased from $188 million, in the offer. If the aggregate purchase price of tendered notes would be more than $197 million, the company will accept offers on a pro rata basis.

For each $1,000 principal amount of notes, the company will pay $1,091.66, which is an amount equal to the present value on the settlement date of all future cash flows of the notes to the earliest redemption date, March 15, 2008, assuming that the notes will be redeemed at $1,049.38, minus accrued interest up to but excluding the settlement date.

The payout includes a $30.00 early tender payment for notes tendered by 5 p.m. ET on Oct. 25.

The total payments reflect the yield on the 4 5/8% U.S. Treasury due March 31, 2008, calculated at 10 a.m. ET on Oct. 25, plus 125 basis points.

The offer will expire at 9 a.m. ET on Nov. 9. It began on Oct. 11.

Noteholders who submit tenders before the early tender deadline will not be able to withdraw them after that deadline.
