Dr Pepper Snapple Group Announces Expiration And Final Results Of Its Cash Tender Offers For Its 7.45% Senior Notes Due 2038 And 6.82% Senior Notes Due 2018

PLANO, Texas, June 19, 2017/PRNewswire/ -- Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. (NYSE: DPS) today announced the expiration and final results of its previously announced cash tender offers (the "Tender Offers") for its 7.45% Senior Notes due 2038 (the "2038 Notes") and 6.82% Senior Notes due 2018 (the "2018 Notes" and, together with the 2038 Notes, the "Notes"). As of 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 16, 2017 (such date and time, the "Expiration Date"), DPS received valid tenders totaling $219.630 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

The following table sets forth the aggregate principal amounts of each series of Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn on or prior to the Expiration Date.

As previously announced, because the $156.911 million aggregate principal amount of the 2038 Notes tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the Early Tender Date exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of $125 million (the "2038 Tender Cap"), DPS is not accepting for purchase, subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offers, all of the 2038 Notes that have been tendered. Instead, DPS has accepted the 2038 Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or before the Early Tender Date for purchase on a pro rata basis up to the 2038 Tender Cap using a proration rate of approximately 79.7% for the 2038 Notes.  DPS has also accepted for purchase all $62.719 million aggregate principal amount of 2018 Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Expiration Date.  DPS expects to make payment for the Notes accepted for purchase in same-day funds later today, June 19, 2017, for aggregate consideration of approximately $248.145 million, excluding accrued and unpaid interest.
