PHH CORPORATION ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF OFFERING OF
$350 MILLION OF 6.375% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2021

 

COMPANY ANNOUNCES EARLY SETTLEMENT OF TENDER OFFER FOR
9¼% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2016 AND RECEIPT OF REQUISITE CONSENTS

 

EXTENSION OF TOTAL CONSIDERATION UNTIL OFFER EXPIRATION DATE

 

Mt. Laurel, NJ — August 20, 2013 — PHH Corporation (NYSE: PHH) (“PHH” or the “Company”) announced today that it has closed its previously announced offering of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 notes”). The Company is using the net proceeds of the offering of the 2021 notes, together with available cash, to repurchase up to $350 million outstanding aggregate principal amount (the “Maximum Tender Amount”) of its 9¼% Senior Notes due 2016 (the “2016 notes”).

 

As part of its previously announced tender offer (the “Tender Offer”), the Company solicited consents from the holders of the 2016 notes (the “Consent Solicitation”) for certain proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to modify the covenants in the indenture governing the 2016 notes (the “Indenture”) to conform them with the covenants in the indenture governing the Company’s 7.375% Senior Notes due 2019. Adoption of the Proposed Amendments required consents from holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2016 notes. The Company has received the requisite consents in the Consent Solicitation to execute a supplemental indenture to effect the Proposed Amendments pursuant to its Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated August 6, 2013 (as amended from time to time, the “Statement”). As a result of receiving the requisite consents, the Company entered into a supplemental indenture, dated as of August 20, 2013, to the Indenture to effect the Proposed Amendments.

 

The Company also announced that it is extending the Total Consideration (as defined below) to any holders of the 2016 notes who validly tender their 2016 notes at or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 3, 2013 (the “Offer Expiration Date”), subject to the proration procedures described in the Statement, in order to provide prospective participants in the Tender Offer additional time to consider tendering their 2016 notes and receive such Total Consideration.

 

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 19, 2013 (the “Consent Expiration Date”), more than a majority of the outstanding 2016 notes had been tendered. In accordance with the proration procedures described in the Statement, the Company has exercised its option to accept for payment and settle the Tender Offer with respect to 77.78% of the 2016 notes that were validly tendered at or prior to the Consent Expiration Date (the “Early Settlement”). Such Early Settlement occurred today concurrently with the closing of the offering of the 2021 notes.

 

Holders of 2016 notes who properly tendered, did not withdraw their 2016 notes and delivered their consents to the Proposed Amendments on or prior to the Consent Expiration Date received the total consideration of $1,180 per $1,000 in principal amount (the “Total Consideration”) of prorated 2016 notes that were accepted for purchase at the Early Settlement, which included an early tender premium equal to $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the tendered 2016 notes. Any 2016 notes that were validly tendered on or prior to the Consent Expiration Date, but not purchased at the Early Settlement due to

 



 

proration, may be accepted for purchase on the final settlement date, subject to the Maximum Tender Amount and the proration procedures described in the Statement. Holders of 2016 notes tendered on or prior to the Consent Expiration Date, if any such 2016 notes are accepted for purchase on the final settlement date, will receive the Total Consideration for such 2016 notes.

 

The Tender Offer will expire on the Offer Expiration Date. Under the terms of the Tender Offer, as amended, holders of 2016 notes who properly tender after the Consent Expiration Date but on or prior to the Offer Expiration Date, and whose 2016 notes are accepted for purchase, will now also be eligible to receive the Total Consideration per $1,000 principal amount of the tendered 2016 notes, subject to proration. Other than in the limited circumstances set forth in the Statement, tenders of 2016 notes may not be withdrawn and consents may not be revoked following the Consent Expiration Date.

 

In addition, all 2016 notes accepted for purchase in connection with the Tender Offer will be entitled to receive accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the applicable settlement date.

 

The Company is offering to purchase up to the Maximum Tender Amount of Notes. If holders validly tender 2016 notes in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the Maximum Tender Amount, the Company will only accept an amount of 2016 notes equal to the Maximum Tender Amount. In determining proration for the 2016 notes, assuming holders validly tender 2016 notes in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the Maximum Tender Amount, the Company will purchase that portion of a holder’s tendered 2016 notes that is equal to the total amount of tendered 2016 notes multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which would equal the Maximum Tender Amount and the denominator of which would equal the total principal amount of 2016 notes tendered in the Tender Offer, rounded down to the nearest $1,000 principal amount. Whether a holder tendered before or tenders after the Consent Expiration Date, all holders will be prorated equally.
