By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Aug. 20 - UDR, Inc. extended the tender offer and consent solicitation for its 8½% debentures due Sept. 15, 2024, according to a company news release.

The early tender deadline was extended to 5 p.m. ET on Aug. 20 from Aug. 19, and the offer expiration was extended to 11:59 p.m. ET on Sept. 3 from Aug. 31.

The company had previously extended the early tender deadline to Aug. 19 from Aug. 17.

UDR also increased the early tender premium to $120 per $1,000 principal amount of notes tendered by the early tender deadline from $30.

The purchase price for the notes - not including the early tender premium, as applicable - is $980 per $1,000 principal amount of notes.

The offer for the $53,118,000 outstanding principal amount of notes began Aug. 4.

As of 5 p.m. ET on Aug. 19, holders had tendered $17,949,000 principal amount, or 33.79%, of the notes.

Funding for the offer will come from borrowings under credit facilities.

UDR said it is soliciting consents to eliminate some restrictive covenants and events of default contained in the indenture governing the notes. Holders who tender their notes must deliver consents and vice versa.

The offer is conditioned on the receipt of tenders and consents from holders of at least a majority of the notes by the early tender deadline.
