The Exchange Offer expired at midnight, New York City time, on January 6, 2017. According to information provided by D.F. King & Co., Inc., the Information and Exchange Agent for the Exchange Offer, $433,507,000 aggregate principal amount (or 91.26% of the outstanding principal amount) of the Existing Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Exchange Offer.
Syniverse will accept Existing Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on a pro rata basis according to the pro ration procedures described in the Offering Memorandum (as defined below). Syniverse will accept for exchange a total of $369,547,000 aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes as allowed by the applicable rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
In connection with the Exchange Offer, SFHC will issue $369,547,000 aggregate principal amount of its 9.125% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “New Notes”), subject to satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer.
The Exchange Offer was made solely to Eligible Holders upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the confidential offering memorandum (the “Offering Memorandum”) and the related letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), each dated December 8, 2016.
The Exchange Offer was made only (a) in the United States, to holders of Existing Notes who are “qualified institutional buyers,” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), (b) outside the United States, to holders of Existing Notes who are not “U.S. persons,” as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act and (c) to institutional investors which are “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7) or (8) under the Securities Act. We refer to the holders of Existing Notes who have certified that they are eligible to participate in the Exchange Offer pursuant to at least one of the foregoing conditions as “Eligible Holders.”
Subject to satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum and the Letter of Transmittal, settlement of the Exchange Offer is expected to occur on January 11, 2017.
This press release is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. The Exchange Offer was made and the New Notes were offered only to “qualified institutional buyers,” holders that are not “U.S. persons” and certain institutional investors that are “accredited investors” as such terms are defined under the Securities Act. The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and, accordingly, are subject to significant restrictions on transfer and resale as more fully described in the Offering Memorandum and the Letter of Transmittal.
