IUSA Announces Final Tender Results and Acceptance of Tenders in Exchange Offer


MEXICO CITY, Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Industrias Unidas, S.A. de C.V.  ("IUSA" or the "Company"), a Mexican diversified industrial company, today announced the expiration and final results of the previously announced offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") any and all of its outstanding Series A and Series B 11.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 (the "Old Notes") for its New Series A and New Series B 9.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (the "New Notes").

The Exchange Offer, which was made pursuant to the Information Memorandum dated September 12, 2016 (the "Exchange Information Memorandum") and related Letter of Transmittal, expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 24, 2016 (the "Final Expiration Date").

Epiq Corporate Restructuring, the information and exchange agent for the Exchange Offer (the "Information and Exchange Agent"), has advised the Company that as of the Final Expiration Date, approximately 94% of Old Notes had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer. 

The Company also announced today that, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer, it has accepted for exchange all of the Old Notes validly tendered as of the Final Expiration Date and has waived the condition set forth in the Exchange Information Memorandum that at least 95% in aggregate principal amount of the Old Notes (including any Old Notes which are owned by the Company or its affiliates) be validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the Final Expiration Date.

The Company anticipates settlement of the Exchange Offer on Octobe 31, 2016, at which time it will issue approximately $327,463,768 principal amount of its New Notes and pay approximately $21,084,773 in cash to redeem the outstanding Old Notes.



The complete terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer are described in the Exchange Information Memorandum, copies of which may be obtained by eligible holders of the Old Notes by contacting the Information and Exchange Agent at 777 Third Avenue, 12th Floor, New York, New York 10017 Attn: IUSA Processing, +1(646) 282-2500 or (866) 734-9393, [email protected] (please reference "IUSA" in the subject line).

The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements, and will therefore be subject to substantial restrictions on transfer.


The Company intends to rely on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act to exempt the offering, issuance and distribution of the New Notes and the subsidiary guarantees thereunder pursuant to the Exchange Offer from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and of any state securities or "blue sky" laws.

This announcement is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the New Notes nor an offer to purchase Old Notes.  The Exchange Offer is being made solely by means of the Exchange Information Memorandum and the related Letter of Transmittal.
