Exhibit 99.1
OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC Commences Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation For 10% Senior Notes Due 2015
TAMPA, Florida - July 25, 2012 - OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC (“OSI”) commenced a tender offer for all of its outstanding 10% Senior Notes due 2015 (the “Notes”) on July 25, 2012. In conjunction with the tender offer, OSI is soliciting consents from noteholders to effect certain amendments to the indenture governing the Notes.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated July 25, 2012 and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent (together, the “Tender Offer Documents”), OSI is offering to purchase all of the outstanding Notes at a price of $1,028.75 per $1,000 of principal amount of Notes (“Total Consideration”) determined in accordance with the formula set forth in the Tender Offer Documents, which Total Consideration includes a payment of $10.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the “Early Tender and Consent Payment”). The Total Consideration, plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of payment for the Notes, will be paid in respect of all Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offer if the noteholder validly tenders such Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 7, 2012, unless such date is extended (the “Consent Payment Deadline”). Any holder validly tendering Notes after the Consent Payment Deadline will, if such Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offer, receive the Total Consideration, plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of payment for the Notes, less the Early Tender and Consent Payment for the Notes so tendered.
The tender offer is scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on August 21, 2012, unless extended.
The tender offer is conditioned on, among other things, the following: (i) OSI shall have received, on or prior to the Consent Payment Deadline, Consents which have not been revoked in respect of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes; and (ii) Bloomin' Brands, Inc., OSI's ultimate parent company, shall have consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”) pursuant to which it receives at least $140 million in proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before expenses), a portion of which will be contributed to OSI and used, together with cash on hand, to purchase the Notes under the Tender Offer and pay for Consents on or prior to the initial payment date.
