Exopack Holding Corp. Announces Consent Solicitation with Respect to 10.00% Senior Notes Due 2018
Spartanburg SC—Exopack Holding Corp. (the “Company”) announced today that it has commenced a consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) with respect to proposed amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) to the indenture dated as of March 31, 2011 governing its 10.00% Senior Notes (the “Notes”) due 2018 (the “Indenture”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the consent solicitation statement dated October 10, 2013 (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”).
The purpose of the Proposed Amendments is to amend certain provisions of the Indenture to allow the refinancing of a substantial portion of the indebtedness (the “Refinancing”) of Exopack Holdings S.A. (“Exopack Luxembourg”), an affiliate of the Company, and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Group”).
The Proposed Amendments to the Indenture are described in detail in the Consent Solicitation Statement. Holders of the Notes should carefully read and consider the information in the Consent Solicitation Statement. The Proposed Amendments require the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes (the “Requisite Consents”). In the event that certain conditions are satisfied, including the Requisite Consents, the Company will effect the Proposed Amendments by entering into a supplemental indenture to the Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”). As of the date hereof, Eligible Holders representing 53% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes have stated their intention to participate in the Consent Solicitation.
The Consent Solicitation will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 7, 2013, unless terminated or extended by the Company in its sole discretion (the “Expiration Date”). Consents may be revoked at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the date and time the Requisite Consents are received and (ii) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 24, 2013 (the “Early Consent Deadline”). If the Consent Solicitation is successful, on the date the Supplemental Indenture and the Proposed Amendments will become operative, the Company will make certain consent fee payments to holders who delivered their consents prior to the Expiration Date. The Company’s obligation to accept consents and pay any fees to holders in relation to the Consent Solicitation is subject to the conditions as set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement.
