Oil Casualty Insurance gets consents to amend 8% subordinated notes
By Susanna Moon
Chicago, Sept. 30 – Oil Casualty Insurance, Ltd. said it obtained the needed consents to amend its 8% deferrable subordinated notes due Sept. 15, 2034.
The consent solicitation ended at 5 p.m. ET on Sept. 29. The solicitation began Sept. 22.
As previously announced, holders who delivered consents will receive a fee of $3.75 per $1,000 principal amount.
Oil Casualty needed approval from the holders of a majority of the notes to make the changes.
The company sought the following amendments, according to a previous company press release:
• To allow the company to implement a strategic plan with the goal of diversifying its policy issuance into adjacent industries and non-energy customers;
• To permit Oil Casualty to terminate its existing shareholders’ agreement, most of the provisions of which would be incorporated into the company’s bylaws; and
• To add an interest rate adjustment period tied to the rating assigned to the notes, during the continuation of which the notes would bear interest at 8˝%.
Barclays is solicitation agent (800 438-3242 or 212 528-7581). The information agent is MacKenzie Partners, Inc. (800 322-2885 or 212 929-5500).
