SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, Jan. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XXI, S.A. (“Aerodom” or the “Company”) announced that it has commenced a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) on January 4, 2017, for any and all of its outstanding 9.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (CUSIP Nos. 007866 AA4 and P0100V AA1; ISIN Nos. US007866AA48 and USP0100VAA19) (the “Notes”). The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 1, 2017, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company. In connection with the Tender Offer, the Company is also soliciting consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from the holders of the Notes to amend the indenture governing the Notes to eliminate most of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default contained in the indenture as they relate to the Notes. The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation are being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Company’s Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated January 4, 2017 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Consent and Letter of Transmittal. The Offer to Purchase and the Consent and Letter of Transmittal are collectively referred to herein as the “Offer Documents.”

Under the terms of the Tender Offer, the total consideration for each US$1,000 principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase will be US$1,050.31. The Company will also pay accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable payment date. The total consideration includes an early tender payment in an amount in cash equal to US$4.06 for each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes tendered by such holder and accepted for purchase, and is only payable to holders who validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their Notes and validly deliver (and do not validly revoke) their consents at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 18, 2017 (the “Early Tender/Consent Deadline”). Holders who tender their Notes after the Early Tender/Consent Deadline and prior to the expiration of the Tender Offer will (promptly after such expiration) receive the total consideration less the early tender payment, or US$1,046.25 for each US$1,000 principal amount of Notes.

Prior to the expiration of the Tender Offer, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Tender Offer, the Company may, at its option, accept for purchase all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn before such expiration. The Company will pay for the Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender/Consent Deadline on a business day chosen by the Company promptly following both the Early Tender/Consent Deadline and the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and as summarized below to the consummation of the Tender Offer and the Consent Solicitation. Subject to limited conditions, all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn after the Company’s initial acceptance of Notes for purchase will be accepted and paid for promptly following the expiration time of the Tender Offer.

The Company’s obligation to consummate the Tender Offer is conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, the full details of which are set forth in the Offer to Purchase, including (i) the consummation of one or more debt financing transactions on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company, (ii) holders of the Notes representing a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes having validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) their Notes and validly delivered (and not validly revoked) their consents and (iii) the execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture amending the indenture to give effect to the proposed amendments. The complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are set forth in the Offer Documents. Holders of the Notes are urged to read the Offer Documents carefully.
