SUPERVALU also announced that it has increased the Tender Cap from $300,000,000 to $372,018,000, and amended the “Financing Condition” as set forth in the Offer to Purchase (as defined below) such that the New Notes Offering (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) must result in the issuance of a minimum aggregate principal amount of $372,018,000 of unsecured debt securities of SUPERVALU, instead of the previous minimum aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 (the “Amended Financing Condition”). Except as described in this press release, all other terms of the Offer as described in the Offer Documents (as defined below) remain unchanged.

 

On May 2, 2013, SUPERVALU commenced the Offer in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 2, 2013 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal” and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer Documents”) sent to holders of the Notes.

 

As of 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of May 15, 2013 (the “Early Tender Time”), $372,018,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn.

Based on the foregoing results and the increase to the Tender Cap, the Offer is fully subscribed at the Early Tender Time (but not oversubscribed).

 



 

As set forth in the Offer to Purchase, holders who validly tendered (and did not validly withdraw) their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Time and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will receive the Total Consideration, which includes the Early Tender Premium. Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time and whose Notes are accepted for purchase, if any, will receive the Tender Offer Consideration, which is equal to $1,100 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase. Unless SUPERVALU further increases the Tender Cap, no further Notes shall be accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer. Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will receive accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the date SUPERVALU pays for such Notes (“Accrued Interest”).

 

The Withdrawal Deadline for the Offer was 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of May 15, 2013, and has not been extended. The Offer will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of May 30, 2013, unless extended or earlier terminated by SUPERVALU in its sole discretion (such time, as the same may be extended or earlier terminated, the “Expiration Time”).

 

The Offer is subject to satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the Amended Financing Condition, as specified in the Offer to Purchase.

 

SUPERVALU reserves the right, but is not obligated, to elect to accept Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Tender Time in an aggregate principal amount up to the Tender Cap (our “Early Settlement Right”), provided that all conditions to the Offer have been satisfied or waived by SUPERVALU, on any date following the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Time.  Notes so accepted may be settled on the date of SUPERVALU’s early acceptance or promptly thereafter prior to the Expiration Time (the “Early Settlement Date”).  The “Final Settlement Date” with respect to the Offer will be the date that SUPERVALU settles all Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer and not previously settled on the Early Settlement Date, if any.  Each of the Early Settlement Date and the Final Settlement Date are referred to as a “Settlement Date.”  No tenders of Notes submitted after the Expiration Time will be valid or accepted.
