FastenTech extends tender offer for 11½% notes
By Angela McDaniels
Seattle, April 19 - FastenTech, Inc. said it extended the expiration date of the tender offer for its 11½% senior subordinated notes due 2011 to midnight ET on April 26 from April 18.
As of April 19, noteholders had tendered and delivered consents for $149.42 million, or 86%, of the $174 million outstanding amount of notes, according to a company news release.
The company began the tender offer and a consent solicitation for the notes on March 22. The consent deadline was April 5.
On April 9, FastenTech announced that it had received enough consents to execute a supplemental indenture to the indenture to effect the proposed amendments, which will eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and certain other provisions. The amendments will become operative once the notes are accepted for purchase.
For each $1,000 principal amount of notes, tendering noteholders will receive $1,061.25, which includes a $20.00 consent payment for those who tendered by the consent deadline.
FastenTech will also pay accrued interest to the settlement date.
The tender offer remains conditioned on the completion of the proposed merger of FasTech, Inc. with Dundee MergerCo, Inc., an affiliate of Doncasters Group Ltd.
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC is the dealer manager and solicitation agent (call collect 212 325-7596). D.F. King & Co., Inc. is the information agent (call collect 212 269-5550 or toll-free 800 290-6429).
On Oct. 4, 2005, the company received no response to its cash offer to repurchase up to $11.8 million of the notes.
On Sept. 10, 2004, subsidiaries FabriSteel Products, Inc. and Profile Steel & Wire, Co. sold almost all of their respective assets. According to the notes' indenture, FastenTech was required to use a portion of the proceeds for the repurchase.
The company originally issued $175 million of the notes on April 24, 2003.
Minneapolis-based FastenTech manufactures and markets specialty components for power generation, military and construction applications.
